Lexus SC430 Paint Correction - Pro Corrections - Nashville, TN

Another one down! This Lexus SC430 nicknamed "Jellybean" by the owners came in for a chance at a new life. It had typical markings from a 14 year old vehicle..Road rash, dents, wash marks, and just an overall dullness to it in the sunlight. It was missing that pop it needed. The owners originally just wanted a wash and wax. I spoke with them asking what type of finish they were looking to achieve. They wanted all the wash marks out and the paint to look as good as possible. After explaining a wax will not remove this type of damage they decided to go with a multi step paint correction, touch up, dent removal, and full interior.

Products used:
Shine Supply Classic Cut
Shine Supply Classic Polish
Shine Supply Throwback Paint Cleanser
CarPro Reload
Deionized Water

Tools used:
Hitachi Rotary
Rupes 21 Mark II
Rupes iBrid Nano


I started this one out with a heavy decon wash using Shine supply Smooth Move in a foam gun followed up with claying it. Once I was able to see the bare surface I proceeded with a test spot. I used a rotary with Meguiar's wool pad and Classic Cut, Rupes 21 with an orange foam Griot's pad and Classic Cut followed by a yellow Rupes foam and Classic Polish. After I got the first 2 steps done on the whole car I had my PDR guy (Paintless Dent Repair) come out and do his magic. There were about 10 dings on this car and he got every one of them out no problem. I finished polishing and wiped the car down twice with Throwback paint cleanser to remove any oils from polishing. This bright red beauty was topped in CarPro Reload which really made it pop.

I was happy with the results, and the "Jellybean" owners were blown away with it!



















Emblems were also removed to polish behind those areas.

























Thanks for looking!
