I did a 2000 Lexus something or other this morning. A guy I know bought it at auto auction for his wife. Anyway, he wanted me to give it a quick once over so it would look good when he gave it to her. I debated about what I should use on it. I just got the Wolfgang products on Friday so I was half tempted to try that out. But I was really interested in what NXT would do for swirls. Its that pearl white color that Lexus has, so the swirls didn`t really show up that well anyway. If you got it in the sun just right then you could see them. It was pretty bad. I figured this was as good a test bed as any. If it did remove some swirls then I would notice it for sure.
Since it is white it is really hard to take pictures of the swirls. I did the best I could though. I worked the NXT on the hood with a PC and a red Meguiar`s pad. I probably worked it in for about 3 to 5 minutes. The time stamp on the pictures is 6 minutes apart, so I`m sure I worked on it for a few minutes at least. From what I can tell, the swirl reduction is in the 50% range for this vehicle. I don`t know if they are removed or just filled. All I know is that there is significantly more space between the swirls than there was before. It may be as high as 60-75 percent reduction, but I think its on the lower end of that scale.
I took the best pictures I could so you could see what the camera sees. Hopefully it helps. The car looked fantastic, of course. NXT really looks good on pearl. Very glossy. It doesn`t have the glow of PPG like I would like to have used on it, but it was accpetable enough.
