Finally detailed my car *pics*
Yea i know i need rims badly, but OEM will be fine for awhile. I finally detailed it after neglecting the car for months. I love the lexus non-clear coated paint. swirl marks are so much easier/quicker to get rid of than paint with clear coat (at least in my experience). I know my rear bumper doesn't look good, but it came with the car when I bought it. Nothing I can do now except save up for a paint job later on

took me ~5-6 hours because I took my time. No need to rush
I used:
Lake Country pads
Meguiars $83 Dual action cleaner/polisher
Meguiars #7 show car glaze (oil based for that wet look)
DP Carnauba wax (I love this stuff)
FinishKare detail spray (used it for its anti-static property to help with dust problem)
I used a rotary buffer on the hood because it was pretty swirled up. Then I used a porter cable (PC) for the rest of the body. I have a BUNCH of detailing stuff. I have never went through the same combo before. Each time that I detail, I always throw in something different.

Looks really good by the way what type of exhaust system you got there
