Last week, I gave the car its first hand wash and ended up discovering some light scratching on the rear bumper, most likely from its early life as a test car on Laguna Seca.

Of course, I couldn’t let them stand, so I set to work with my Porter Cable 7424 & Optimum Compound:

Lexus GS Buffing

As a former professional detailer, I was amazed at how quickly the Liquid Platinum responded to such a light treatment — the scratches might have been barely noticeable, but they disappeared completely with very little work. Very impressed with the results.

(I’m working on my next story with the GS, and it has to do with this very topic — should be ready by next week.)
