Was kinda bored today, so I decided to wash and detail the car and take some photos.

Here are the pics (in the glory of the NE wintry weather)

Check out the reflection of the building from the top of the car

BTW lexusk8, use some car wax on that wood trim, you will like the results.


and in all actuality, the car looks fantastic, its probably just the angle fo light...

Actually there are NO swirls on the car at all (I'm very meticulous when it comes to detailing my car). It's just that the sunlight totally exaggerates the appearance of the car in the 1st pic. Maybe I shouldn't have included the photo as I didn't know it would scare you guys LOL

FYI I have applied wax to the ES 3 times on 3 separate occasions this winter. As you can imagine, it's tough to work on your car outside in 30-degree temps

Looks sharp Doug!! Nothing nicer than a clean black car!

btw, what shade (%) of tint do you have on all the windows?

lexusk8

Thanks Brendan. As you know, black cars are one of the toughest colored cars to clean, but when detailed right, they look so

I have 35% on all 4 windows, and 20% on the rear. Smoke tint.

Looks great Doug! I was a little afraid of the first pic too ... but then I saw the rest of the pics and decided it must have been the lighting and reflections, cause the rest are smooth and clear.

The tint really enhances the rest of the car Doug! I have the smoke tint as well, but 20% all round.
