2017 LEXUS IS300 F-SPORT LAVISH DETAIL | Interior + Foam + Wash + Polish + Ceramic Coating

#AutoDetailing #CeramicCoating #Lexus
📝 P R O J E C T D E T A I L S
I was contacted by a young gentleman who enjoys my videos. He wanted me to detail his 2017 Lexus IS300 F-Sport. This car is impeccably maintained and pride of ownership is clearly evident. I did a very thorough wash, polish and ceramic coating. I invested at least 15 hours of work in this project, and you can tack on another 15 to capture all the footage and produce the video, but the end result was well worth it. This car is now ready to brave the winter conditions that lie ahead. I hope you enjoy this video and let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

The smile on the owner's face said it all!! I'm absolutely in love with your shop!!!

[@RADGarage]

It was so nice to give this viewer the detail of his life! I'm sure he's watching and enjoying the video right now!

[@jonathancouch6261]

You did a awesome job bling bling clean just not big on Lexus

[@jedighost72]

Finally a detailing channel that has proper music in the background, and not these 'cat's meow' type of horrible 'noise' that can't be called 'music' as it is an insult to our ears. So props to Rad Garage's musical taste, too!

[@RADGarage]

Oh, I get my fair share of criticism over my music choices, but I don't think people understand you can't just put any music you want in a video if you want to monetize. I am so lucky that I have been able to collaborate with amazing artists that allow me to use their work with no strings attached.

[@ronayotte3571]

You made that silver paintwork absolutely POP!

[@RADGarage]

Ron Ayotte Thanks. I feel like it was looking pretty darn good.

Thanks Papa! I was thrilled to see his reaction on this one.

[@liionelbooon]

I loved the reaction footage! This needs to be a part of all your videos now. Congrats to both owner and to you Rick!

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, it was real nice to be able to add that component to the video. I will do my best to include more owner reactions in future vids.

[@SWAYLAB]

I love this detail. I remember detailing my friend’s a year ago and it definitely has lots of lines. Didn’t have all my tools with me but seeing you do all this was really sweet. Nice job. 🧼🚙💨✨

[@RADGarage]

So many lines! It sure made for an interesting project! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.

[@Wofski]

Rick, you are the "Master"!!! What a extremely nice detail! The care and compassion for other's cars! You are awesome man!!!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks so much. I enjoy working on cars that are truly loved by their owners. It just makes the whole process that much more satisfying when I see their reaction.

This video was so satisfying to watch. Love your editing skills and choice of music. It’s also a great reminder to try to take care of your pride & joy. 🚘

Thank you very much!

[@mhlittleton6493]

Awesome video, Rick! I learn a lot about detailing from many KZbin channels, but I have to say that you and Sandro at Car Craft take the *art* of video-making to a completely different level. So well done! 👍

[@RADGarage]

That's a MASSIVE compliment. Sandro is someone I really look up to. 🤘

[@thecardoc5083]

Hey Rick, just found you while checking out detailing videos on KZbin. I'm hooked on the videos and am in awe of your garage and your skill set. Above all, I love how you treat people and the way you value relationships. It says a lot about you. I'm a physician by day and a car detailing fanatic by night. I've learned a great deal from your videos and want to affirm and encourage they way you handle your self and others. Continued blessing over you and yours. -Gil (The Car Doctor- 'first do no harm')

[@RADGarage]

Hi Gilberto. Thanks for the incredibly supportive message. I appreciate the work you and your health care colleagues are doing during these difficult times. I hope detailing in your spare time offers you a reprieve from the pressures of your job. I know it helps me! Take care and thanks again for the message.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks. I took a lot of pride in this project because the owner is such a cool dude and takes such great care of his car.

[@andylie7699]

top notch production on this one... love the pan shots and the music as well. Oh, and the IS looks great of course...

[@RADGarage]

Much appreciated. Those pan shots are killing me for time, but they are so satisfying in the end. I don't really like to take static footage any more.

[@rickm.10]

Amazing job Rick! I often think of your work as not just a wash or a detail, but genuine care and it makes me want to have my car* pampered by you. Maybe one day. This one is a "gooder" Rick!

[@RADGarage]

I like the way you described that. I do care. Too much!

[@Wim1975]

Good job again and nice result, very relaxing to watch. A clean car makes me always happy!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for saying that.

This gave me a great way to know how to wash my 2018 3IS, i mostly spend at least 1.5 hours cleaning and detailing it; gives me joy :)

[@RADGarage]

I feel exactly like you. Detailing my own car is how this channel was born. I just loved coming home and unwinding with a good wash. It has obviously grown to the point where I can't say no to other peoples' vehicles, but that feeling of calm and relaxation is still something I experience.

[@SoleDreamzAndLexoticj]

This was the most relaxing video I have seen of detailing... awesome work

[@ptownjon9236]

Nice attention to detail as always, Rick. That clear coat looked to be in good shape when you started, and the owner appears to take good care of the paint. I would have liked to see what flaws you saw in the paint that made you want to do the polish and no clay bar. I am learning so much from watching you work on these cars of various condition.

[@RADGarage]

I did perform a quick clay, but I had to download all my footage to that point and recharge my camera battery so no clay footage in the final presentation. The clay didn't remove any contamination from what I could see in the clay bar. The car's paint had zero flaws other than a few little chips the owner had addressed with a touch up pen. It was simply a matter of removing the TW Seal N Shine and applying a double layer of ceramic coating.

[@MaXGTS1]

I recently upgraded from a Ryobi to the OG spec Kranzle K1322TS and it's just awesome! I highly recommend one for the Rad Garage.

[@RADGarage]

MaXGTS1 It’s just a matter of time. Until then, I’ll use my own version of a “wall mount” system.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Silver exterior with that Maroon interior go perfectly together. That color combo goes all the way back to the beginning of "motoring". I toured the BMW factory in Munich, Germany a few years back and they had a beautiful 1930's 328 in that color combination. Just from the video footage, I see exactly what you mean about the "fit and finish" of a Lexus. That interior, including the dash layout and electronics look to be some of the best in the auto industry including the higher end marks, sans Ferrari or something.

[@RADGarage]

Yes, they go all out to give these cars a luxurious feel. One thing that stood out to me was a protective "sleeve" that spanned the spanned the gap between the seat and the centre console that prevents anything from falling down that crack. Very thoughtful. And, yes, the colour combo does have a classic feel to it. Interesting connection to the old BMW theme. It's so interesting to see what automotive trends have spanned the decades.

[@joevanseeters2873]

@@RADGarageAlthough I am a fan of Nissan/Infiniti I might have to look at a Lexus in the future. They look incredible. And you can never go wrong with a Toyota engineered vehicle. With proper maintenance, it would probably last a lifetime. On the Silver/Maroon note....many of the German makes of old favored Silver as the color of choice. If you look at Mercedes and their "Silver Arrow" cars, Porsche in the beginning had a lot of silver prototype cars, even here in the United States, a lot of cars (that weren't the famous Henry Ford "You can have any color you want as long as it's black), but the higher end US "Bespoke" cars, many were silver. It just looks "Elegant" in my opinion. I had a silver SAAB 9-5 from 2002 through 2012. Absolutely incredible car. That thing was a sleeper, it had a TON of power. The darn Turbo charger was bigger than the engine block almost. Loved that car. Another great one Rick. Your videos get better every time!

As a proud 2024 NX Fsport owner, I approve this video!

[@RADGarage]

@@marekeos You have every reason to be proud! 🤘

[@marekeos]

@@RADGarage Dude, honestly, one of the best detailing videos out there. The choice of music, cinematography... absolutely fantastic. My regret is that I didn't open a detail shop myself. Best day is an early morning wake up and an all day car wash. Keep it up!

[@RADGarage]

@@marekeos Thanks. Lots of more recent projects for you to enjoy if you have the time.

[@marekeos]

@@RADGarage Subbed!

[@RADGarage]

I really appreciate that. I put a lot of pride into my video work so it is great to have people on board!

[@JustinElliot1990]

Damn I think I should put in some love into it when I clean my Lexus If it can look as neat as this Awesome video man

[@RADGarage]

Thanks. Your Lexus definitely deserves some love. They all do!

I own one of these cars in Atomic Silver. The lines are amazing. Each panel has intricate design elements i failed to pick up on when i first looked at the car. Then I detailed the car and I was blown away. After my first strip wash then polish and coating my wife came out and literally said Holy crap! Thats our car!?! Yep. 😜. Just got my graphene from Adams this week sooo excited to get started. Your videos are on another level sir. You truly make art with your work and your vids. Soo relaxing and instant gratification watching that car turn into art. Thank you

[@RADGarage]

No, thank YOU! I really appreciate the compliment. You do have a very nicely designed car. You are so correct with your comment about each and every panel having some unique design language. The part that really impressed me was the creases under the tail lights as well as the swoosh in the rocker panel towards the rear wheel. A very fun car to work on and it gave me a whole new appreciation for what the designers at Lexus were able to accomplish with this car. Take care.

RAD GARAGE hey Rick. I don’t know if you check past videos for comments but if not I will catch you on your next video. Since you are now verry familiar with the grill on this car you feel my love/hate. I started using some 2.5 magnification reading glasses(online cheapies) and it makes the process waaay easier. I have been through 2 headlamps though- both awful- what headlamp are you using in this vid? You like it? Have a preference? Any help is appreciated. Thx from Texas.

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, that grill has a lot of things going on! I can imagine it would be tiresome if you were the type who needed every one of those little spaces perfectly clean and dry. I use the Scangrip iMatch. It's good. Lately, I have been finding that the battery needs charging too often. I'll be right in the middle of a process and it dies on me. I think the battery life has gotten worse, but it could just be that it is getting old. I do use it a ton. I give it a 7/10.

[@barbara4944]

Rick! 👋 I missed this video somehow! Time to watch it and enjoy.

[@RADGarage]

Hope you enjoy! That one had a very soothing feel to it, if I do say so myself.

[@barbara4944]

@@RADGarage It was awesome car porn! Bring on the bubbles and dirty tires! I liked the style of how this one was shot and put together. I assume you used the rolling camera stand? Also, like how you showed the specific product you were using on each part. So many good filming details. 👍👍👍

[@RADGarage]

I have a motorized slider and a motorized camera dolly that help me capture those smooth rolling shots. Glad you liked it.

[@Kjintae]

This treatment is absolutely stunning and I wish you could do it on my Lexus. Huge props

[@RADGarage]

That was a very satisfying project on a very photogenic vehicle.

[@Kjintae]

@@RADGarage You looked very pleased on your work. RAD video my friend, just earned yourself another subscriber :)

[@Clint_L]

Perfection my friend. Fair dinkum perfection.

[@RADGarage]

Clint L Wouls you go so far as to say it’s a bobby dazzler?

[@Clint_L]

RAD GARAGE wee ripper. Ball tearer. It’s grouse. Bloody oath God we have some terrible slang. :(

[@RADGarage]

Haha. I taught a "unit" when I was doing my teaching practicum. The unit was on Australia and it was with Grade 2 students. it was back in '95 or '96 and I still remember so much of it. We learned about the "School of the Air" which, in retrospect, was WAAAY ahead of its time given the situation we find ourselves in today.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Damn Rick, kicking some serious arse! Did I mis something or is this your full time “gig” now? Thx. You did a thorough job as usual!

[@RADGarage]

No, just trying to take as much advantage of my summer holidays as possible. I return to work next week. It's been a fun and productive summer. Thanks for all your support!

[@kilove1]
