📝 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. Also, feel free to visit my affiliate links to help support future projects and garage enhancements.

The smile on the owner's face said it all!! I'm absolutely in love with your shop!!!
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!
You did a awesome job bling bling clean just not big on Lexus
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!
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.
I loved the reaction footage! This needs to be a part of all your videos now. Congrats to both owner and to you Rick!
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.
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. 🧼🚙💨✨
So many lines! It sure made for an interesting project! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Rumor has it he is STILL smiling!!! Absolutely killed it with this Lexus my friend!!!!! Turned out stunning..👍 great video as always.
Thanks Papa! I was thrilled to see his reaction on this one.
Perfect as always!! Amazing job Rick
Wow, thanks!
I've never seen so much love poured into a single car...that's passion for the work💪💖
I do enjoy what I do and it makes me happy that it shows.
Hey Rick, just found you while checking out detailing videos on CZcams. 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')
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.
Rick, you are the "Master"!!! What a extremely nice detail! The care and compassion for other's cars! You are awesome man!!!
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.
Awesome video, Rick! I learn a lot about detailing from many CZcams 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! 👍
That's a MASSIVE compliment. Sandro is someone I really look up to. 🤘
Awesome as always great work again Rick, that huge smile on the owners face says all about your work
Kai -291 I was a bit nervous because it came to me looking pretty darn good. I guess I was successful it ratcheting it up a few notches.
Love the ending of ur videos when u stare that shit is tuff 👌🏾 showing everyone like ur the one of the best at what u do
The glare is for people who tell me they don't like my music choices. LOL
Another great video Rick. Beautiful Car and and outstanding work!
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.
Once again, Rick's on fire. Perfection is your middle name. Keep up the good work !
Thank you very much!
This was the most relaxing video I have seen of detailing... awesome work
Thanks. I detail to relax me so it makes sense the videos have the same effect. Thank for watching and for the kind comment.
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 :)
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.
Love it when customers reacts to a great job. Sorry, I was driving while receiving the notification, else would have been between the first three here. 😄😉
Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Yeah, this owner was the perfect RAD client.
Like your stuff. I can actually relax when watching, as is so easy on the eye and ears. Well done very professional!!!
Thanks for saying that.
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!
I like the way you described that. I do care. Too much!
top notch production on this one... love the pan shots and the music as well. Oh, and the IS looks great of course...
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.
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. 🚘
Thanks very much. The owners of this car take great care in it, and now it is even more prepared for the upcoming winter weather.
Good job again and nice result, very relaxing to watch. A clean car makes me always happy!
Wim 1975 Like I have been saying a lot lately, every car needs a little pampering once in a while.
Great video and work! I love the “wall mounted” pressure washer!😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
It's so cringe, but it works!
You made that silver paintwork absolutely POP!
Ron Ayotte Thanks. I feel like it was looking pretty darn good.
Amazing work and amazing editing! Keep up the good work!
I will try my best! Thanks for the support.
Love your videos. The attention to detail is what I'm hooked on.
Thanks Steve. I take the term “detailing” very literally. 😓
So beautiful, awesome detailing.
You are the best. 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
This was so relaxing 😌🥰
I'm glad. That was a very chill project because I was able to take my time.
Wow I was surprised about this upload! When you announced you were to start teaching soon, I thought the uploads would become scarce. Very nice Rick!!!
Always time to fit one more project in!
You'll be giving teaching a rest at this rate, and going full time detailing. Awesome video and such a great job. 👌👍👏👊
Maybe in a few years. I have a lot of bills!
Another great job Rick! I love the lines on Lexus IS 300! The paint work pops!
Yes, this car has never looked this good. I'd be proud to drive it around town.
Oh my! The bubbles coming out from that ik makes me so happy.
It is quite a calming sight to see!
Wow, the attention to detail is simply amazing. 👍
Thank you very much!
Amazing cars Lexus in terms of design
You are right thanks for sharing your job as always
Sound track makes me dreaming!!!
detailingandcars Thanks. This video features some of my favourite tracks. Be sure to check out my musical artist page for more info on these artists. www.radgarage.ca/rad-artists.html
Big fan Rick top job love the effort in your videos and your attention to detail.
Naiem Ar I appreciate that. 🙏
Great job👍🏽
Thank you!
1st time visitor to your channel...this is art..both your craft and video production
Thanks so much. I do appreciate the art of the process as well as the video presentation. There’s quite a few videos after this project, and I think the quality continues to improve. Watch the NSX one next! 🤘
And that is how you make a detailing vid ladies and gentlemen 😎😎😎absolutely first class Rick, if your vids don’t inspire people to do things with pride, care and for the love of doing it then I do not know what will. First class Rick, first bloody class👏👏
jimmyputtputt That’s so nice of you to say. I enjoy pouring effort and time into the presentations. I think it separates me from the crowd a bit.
Another fine job Rick. You always seem to amaze me. The car turned out beautiful.
Thanks so much. It was a big job but it turned out fantastic!
The suds going in reverse is a nice editing detail. Love it.
I just love foam and suds. Before I did videos, I would just stare at it. Then, I started capturing it's majesty on camera.
Hello Rick as always Nice job. i love your detail vídeos 👏💯🇵🇹
Henrique Pinto Hi. Thanks for the support. 🙏
Your videos are always on point .....GREAT JOB !!!!...... Travis (South Florida).
I appreciate that!
This video was so satisfying, you jus got a new subscriber, epic video edits
Always glad to gain a new viewer. I have lots more for you to vibe to.
Nice car and good job, thumbs up 👍 We all can feel the exciting from the owner from his smile. Keep well
Couldn't agree more!
Great production and work. Love your videos. Greetings from Bulgaria.
So glad to hear you enjoy them. All the best to you.
Customer was all smiles. That's a great feeling! Wonderful job man!
Thank you so much. This is why I only perform details for people who appreciate what I do and the way I do it. That's the luxury I have being that this is just a hobby that I do for fun.
Wheel game is A+
Always my favorite part.
Me too. Thanks for the comment.
Came out great! Love those cars.
This is a great car indeed. I find there's a lot of nice sedans around the $50k range these days. It would be hard to choose, but this one would be on my shortlist for sure.
Hi Rick !
What a stunning video dude !
The detailing is crazy on this awesome car but the editing, wow that is top level !
I started watching it and I could not get my eyes off of the video.
Outstanding !
Owner's reaction is speechless ha ha !
Take care...
Gregg
Thanks Gregory. I was really happy with the way this edit turned out.
I am glad i found your channel damn must be one of the very best and the ASMR good job and greating from Portugal
Thanks so much Luis. My approach is a bit unique. I try to produce videos that capture my mood as I unwind and relax in my garage doing what I love.
@@RADGarage you welcome ;) i know the feeling i am a weekend warrior that loves my cars and love to treat them the best way possible :) some call it OCD other passion oh well i love it though .
Looks beautiful and nice garage.
Thank you very much.
Love the color on the Lexus
Even more after your detail
Looks great.
Thanks man. It was such a lovely car to work on. I believe the couple that owned it traded it in for a Lexus SUV. Those IS models have really grown on me.
The addition of the owner reaction really brings it all together. Top notch as always my friend.
Thanks Jonathan. This viewer was a dream to work with.
Rick another great detail on a beautiful car. From this to Rick to you. 👍💕
Thank you kindly
Great work Rick. Beautiful machine. Always love getting to know a car inside and out! I love the kobalt wall mount solution package 1.0
You can look for that Kobalt wall-mount system on the Obsessed Garage website very soon! 🤞
Hahahahaha Rick young really has a great video. I envy the editing because it became like a TV commercial.
Maybe I will get my own Netflix series?!?
Your videos are pure art
Thank you. I do take a lot of pride in what I create. It is nice to have it appreciated. 🤘
Very few people can make silver paint look that good Rick, it looks super wet my friend! You absolutely nailed it again! Thanks for sharing another outstanding video👍👍
Kyle D It’s all movie magic!
Your editing man, fantastic! I envy this when I am washing cars.
Don't. It is much easier and efficient to wash a car without trying to capture it all on video!
I have a Lexus myself and I am in aww 💖 So much LOVE and patience in every detail is what captivated me. 🥰 And the editing, the angles, the bubbles on the wheels, ... gorgeous😍 and relaxing at the same time. Subscribing for sure 👍🏽 Can't wait to show my son 😊
Thank you so much! I try to communicate my passion for cars and detailing in each and every project so it is refreshing when I receive comments like this.
@@RADGarage thank you🙏 you deserve every bit 👏🏽
Nice one again Rick. You’re spot on about the quality of these Lexus sedans being a touch above.
I just bought a scangrip headlight too... figured if it’s good enough for the Rad Garage it’s good enough for Ren’s Garage.
Cheers
Ren 🇦🇺
Right on! I love that headlamp. Just wish the battery charge lasted a bit longer. I enjoyed this car a lot. So many beautiful design elements.
My goodness what a classy presentation this is one of the best detailing videos I've seen very thorough I also own a Lexus GS 350 f sport 2016 white with the same color interior red I have to learn to take my time and really enjoy the detailing process I kind of rushed through it but I have a lot of the materials and soaps and brushes so it's a matter of slowing down through watching this video it will definitely help great job one of the best ones music is very unique 👍💪😎☀️🇺🇲
Hi Michael. Thanks for another awesome compliment! I am glad my videos resonate with you. I do believe patience is the ingredient that makes detailing such a rewarding activity for me. I am glad I am able to do this as a hobby and take my time. I think the fun becomes lost when you are working against the clock. Take care.
Excellent video. Music was soothing not loud and obnoxious. Joy to listen and watch.
Thanks. I like to focus on the soothing effect of the detailing process so it pleases me to hear that’s what people appreciate and enjoy as well.
@@RADGarage Your welcome. Any chance you can do your amazing video magic with a Lexus Rc 300 F sport course... in dark grey?
I could if you can bring me one!
perfectly! new video! New balm for the soul
That's what I strive for!
Rick! 👋
I missed this video somehow! Time to watch it and enjoy.
Hope you enjoy! That one had a very soothing feel to it, if I do say so myself.
@@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. 👍👍👍
I have a motorized slider and a motorized camera dolly that help me capture those smooth rolling shots. Glad you liked it.
the best detailing theatre in the world rick,thank you jeff uk.
Thanks. I'm excited about upcoming enhancements to the floor and lighting! Just keeps getting better .
That is some classy bread getting vehicle :) I am a huge Lexus fan. There seems to be a lot of christmas in Canada. Lovely vid of a beautiful car. Perfect work as always.
Happy holidays!
As i said in your other videos. King. 💪
Besfort Berisha Thanks man. 🤜🤛
I love these cars. Paint looks like butter on this one. Well done
There is not a prettier IS out there! Thanks for watching.
Subscribed. Nice job 👍
Thanks for the sub!
I just stumbled upon this video because I just bought a 2017 IS350 F SPORT and the work you did is fantastic! I wish you were closer to me so I could give you another project to do. Amazing work my friend!
Thank you so much. Congratulations on the new IS. I really enjoy the design of these cars. If you lived close, I'd definitely hook you up! I'm trying to up my channel statistics so feel free to subscribe if you haven't already!
I sure did and I'll be looking forward to new videos from you! Best of luck
I'm returning to my teaching job next week, so be sure to check out some of my past videos until I get in the groove and can start pumping out new content.
Résultats parfait sur cette belle Lexus 👌
Oui, merci. I was very happy with the way this project turned out. The owner was too. Merci d'avoir regardé.
This is so cool! I have an 2014 IS300 Luxury with the same color.. Beautiful thing. I love this, and I love that car! You are amazing :)
MrEnormous Thanks. I really like this car. Sounds like you are happy with it.
Yes, very happy with it.
The level of professionalism on your work and videos RAD GARAGE.. I mean holy hell. There are many great detailers on youtube, but this gives me boundless amount of tranquillity. And also.. to a weekend warrior.. Very educational.
Thanks.
That’s how I cleaned my car every 2 weeks 🔥🔥🔥
You're a beast! 💪
"Suburban detailing theatre"... I love ❤️ this term!
©
LOL,... at 15:08 reverse slow-motion of the dripping foam! very funny!
Be honest, did you think there was an issue with your phone/computer? LOL
@@RADGarage No, I think it just looks like you put it in there wondering if people will noticed! I thought it was clever.
SWEET job & production, thanks bro, from a Sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Fantástico, carro ficou magnífico
Mais uma vez um excelente trabalho
Sucesso sempre
Abraço Luciano Jau SP Brazil
You are a very nice man, Luciano. Thanks so much for your comment.
Great work Rick, sensational as always. Loved the voice overs. Keep it up!
Thanks. I am glad to hear the voiceovers were ok. I need to get a better mic!
@@RADGarage They were really interesting and it's clear your passion for cars and detailing. It wasn't bad mic wise at all. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Matthew Chaston Thanks. I’ve got one more almost ready to go then things will slow down for a bit.
@@RADGarage Well done Rick! Appreciate all your hard work and effort!
It is nice to feel appreciated. Thanks.
Masterclass of cleaning cars. Great videos like the channel
Glad you like them! Feel free to watch them all!
The best detailer channel! You deserve 1000000 subs
Thank you so much 😀
Great job, always liked the design and attention to detail of the Lexus underrated car imo. 😎
I totally agree!
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
Thanks. Your Lexus definitely deserves some love. They all do!
Perfection my friend. Fair dinkum perfection.
Clint L Wouls you go so far as to say it’s a bobby dazzler?
RAD GARAGE wee ripper. Ball tearer. It’s grouse. Bloody oath
God we have some terrible slang. :(
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.
“Wall mounted”...... love it !!!!!!
Bargain basement version!
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
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.
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.
Good work habib as always. I’m looking to get one IS350 Fsport, they just seem better price point, low maintenance with all the luxury needs compared to the euro cars in this range.
They is a lot of value packed into the Japanese and Korean cars when you compare them to the Germans. It's just a different feel and approach when you compare the two.
If I let you do my car I’d never want to drive it. Freaking awesome!
That’s the best compliment yet! 🙏
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!
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!
Oh man you get better and better there is hardly any increase and I know what I am talking about
Thanks. I may have "peaked".
who the hell would dislike such a breath taking detail?
Disgruntled co-workers. That's my guess. 😜
"Wall Mounted" hahahah!!! Genius...
Man, you have some great polishers. I need to borrow that ibrid nano
Scott ToastToGo It’s such a nifty little gadget.
Always a good pleasure watching your videos. The 4Runner is on the way.
Too big to fit in my garage!
Dam the video quality is amazing u sir deserve alot more subs and views
Yash Kotian Thanks a lot. With viewer reaction like yours, I’m confident my audience reach will continue to grow.
@@RADGarage its crazy how j reply to almost all the comments much respect brother 💯
It gets tough but it's the best part of it for me.
Best detail channel on CZcams! Keep it real and watch out for snakes
I hear ya. No one has got to me yet!
Dream garage 👌
Yup. It's my hiding place from the real world.
This treatment is absolutely stunning and I wish you could do it on my Lexus. Huge props
That was a very satisfying project on a very photogenic vehicle.
@@RADGarage You looked very pleased on your work. RAD video my friend, just earned yourself another subscriber :)
Good job
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I’ve only seen one other CZcams detailer put a towel under the pedals when cleaning. Nice attention to detail.
Really? Perhaps I'm one of only a few that have to deal with filthy pedals up here in the frozen tundra of Canada!?! 🥶🤮
RAD GARAGE funny the other guy is from Canada also so maybe 😉
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.
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.
