But what's a 3 hour fire glaze?
Here in Taiwan we have many car salons. Some of them use "Fire Glaze". You spend around TWD 1,500 (=USD 45), and they will wash your car very carefully and then polish it.
The whole process takes around 3~4 hours to finish. Although it is long but the quality is very good. If you are interested about what they do, you can check the following URL but just see the photo. Then you will know what I am talking about.

anybody have pics of a Glacier Frost Mica? Is it a eggshell white? Also is the ML really worth it? I have an opportunity to get a vehicle next week with Lux and Nav, headlight washers for about 2k off msrp, which I need to figure out if I can do better or demand, tint, all-weather mats, and a spoiler..........do I take it or wait until dealers have more vehicles on stock........or wait for the ES

Since I posted this, we did get one significant snow in my area. I would HIGHLY recommend to any IS owner to order the Blizteks. The Continentals were okay but they are an all season tire, not a tire made specifically for snow. Next year, I may go for the Bliz. If I had kept the original performance tires on my IS350, I'd never gotten out of my parking space. With Continentals I could at least get to the bank (2mi). All things being equal, I would never trade in my 350 for the 250. This car is just too X-treme. Tomorrow I'm adding a Fujita Short Ram Air Intake. Then I can outrun the snow before it hits the ground Besides, Spring has Sprung and I'm ready to ride.

There you go... you said it... we're all gonna get dumped on now! Congrats on the tires, I was SO thinking about them, but have kept my stock summers on this winter so far. I drive like a baby when it snows... but then again, it's been so mild lately. Did you have the Dunlops on for a bit first, can you compare them to how the Contis handle?
