XMT 360 on Lexus GX 470 (amazing pictures!)

Today I detailed a Lexus GX 470 in awful shape. The owner didn't really care about appearance, they just wanted a durable finish because they dont always get around to washing it .... it came out pretty good though i say! I did 1 step polish (and sealant/wax) and full interior cleaning.

Wash: DP shampoo/DP exterior cleanser (for the stuck on grime)
Clay: DP clay while washing (this cuts the time almost in half, it's amazing!)
Polish: XMT 360 on orange LC pad via PC
Wash 2: DP shampoo foam rinse
Wax: Natty's Blue

I only have a couple after pictures from right after polishing because it was getting dark, more to come tomorrow when it's sunny. (I will add befores and interior pictures when i resize them)

Afters (NO wax):

Why do people who don't wash their cars buy black cars?

Nice work... looking forward to seeing the completed job!
