It is a lot of work but considering how much you paid for the car and what you'll get out of it, its worth it! Of course you can always pay a detailer to do it for about $250.

If you can add the ZFX that would be awesome!

On another note, you don't have to buy the Z-18 claybar, you can get clay-bar at any auto-parts store or even walmart/target. Also, check if zaino has a package deal on the items you want.

Any questions, let me know.

I'm impressed with your detailing commitment! Nah, make it down right jealous.
I'll bet your seats are getting glove soft.

I've found that, for whatever reason, Lexus aims there low beam headlights way to low on the GX platform. Before you plunk down money on halogen bulbs or Xenon upgrades, go get the headlights aimed properly ... I bet it will be a dramatic difference.

In fact, mine was the other way. Recently upgarded the low beam to HID. Didn't feel the improvement was significant. Adjusted the low beam to aim a little lower. The change was dramatically.

Agree, aiming properly makes difference! Or maybe the lense is different for halogen and HID?
