Thank You For This Forum
I just wanted to thank everybody involved in this forum as it has been a godsend to me.
When I first got my Lexus LSL in September I looked at it and thought to myself how big it was. My next thought was "Well no problem when I get gas I will just pay a few bucks extra and let it be massaged by those big floppy automatic carwash rags."
Welll I stumbled upon this forum and it changed my mind. I only wash by my hand (it has never been to a car wash) and use the higher end products. It looks fantastic. It takes some work but then again for how expensive such cars are its totally worth it.

I agree, I thought i hit the jackpot when I got the "Lexus Club Card" for unlimited car washes at my dealership. I will never have them wash my car again! I found out about ceramic coatings through this forum. Special Thanks to zmcgovern4 and FsportIS for teaching me how to maintain my car!

Wow! That is very good to hear! I also agree with you a lot that this sub-forum is very helpful. I have personally learned a lot especially from Zach who is really a master in detailing.
That is why I'm staying as active as possible on this sub-forum to contribute back to the community and share back of what I have learned and experienced.
Glock47, you are becoming a better and better detailer

Yes I also thought my days of labor were over with those free dealership car washes only to find out it makes those dang swirl marks. Again as I said I now use the higher quality detail products and my car looks excellent and even though it is more work the ONLY one who touches it is me

Haha Thanks, one of these days! A lot of trial and error.

I agree! That will be hot sale!
When I purchased the Cquartz UK kit, they gave me the "Do not wash" hanger.
I think they also sell it for $2.49 here http://www.carpro-us.com/finest-auth...tz-cquartz-uk/

We're Opti-coated though!! DI.com has one too.
That would be great!!! I'm going to the dealer soon too for the first check up!

Thanks! No worries, I bet you would have to buy 1k at a time! I just hope they don't wash my car! I told the service advisor too. I'm curious to see how the machine looks like.

It is swirling machine with a bunch of dirty clothes slapping your car with strong solvent based wash solution. I almost cry standing there watching so many Lexus cars including brand new cars going through that swirling machine. I can guarantee the following after going through that:
1. Swirls
2. Water spots inside the the car and lot of other places.
3. Possible some deep scratches.
