Thanks,
That's a "safety check" sticker that's required in Hawaii. Self-explanatory, we take it to a certified station and get checked to make sure all basic functions are working properly (blinkers, lights, horn, tires inflated properly, etc).

Wow those metallics are popping, and the paint looks nice and wet

. Don't worry bout the flab, mine are worse

. So how do you like that Pete's 53? The new RX's are looking good.

Nice job! I also really like the color.

mmmmm....Lexus...very nice. I like the first picture which shows the emblem. I like the color too, very nice. That paint is POPING like crazy, flake city.

The picture with the flab is wicked, I wish it was that hot here....but I'll take the good weather we have been having.

You did a good job on that Lexus, the paint looks really good. Nice depth and it looks wet, very nice. I'm assuming it's new, does it have scratches/swirls? Just wondering.

Thanks for sharing your Lexus

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Nica, yes, it is new and no swirls (knock on wood). Before I started detailing w/ a pc, I had it detailed by a pro. Clay, sealed. I didn't think it was a "professional" job as he went pretty fast with the pc. So, after much reading, I took the plunge, bought the pc, and this is the end result.

Good for you tod071

, I got the Lexus GX 470 and I wouldn't let anyone near my baby. I rather do it my self and take my time and do things properly.

The way you take care of it, it will continue looking new for a long time. Good job Lexus buddy

Good for you to have the courage to try. Not only is it almost guaranteed that you will do a better job yourself (because usually time is not an objection) but you will garner immense satisfaction in getting the results by yourself. It's not rocket science although forums like this have made it easier for so many to jump on board the detailing wagon. Again..good job and congrats.
