I just bought it a week ago. The paint was full of swirls and scratches. Took me about 7 hours, but I got most of them out. I love this car, just needs tint now.

Pick up some Poorboy's Blue Natty's paste wax for dark colors and you won't be disappointed! I love the way it makes my obsidian IS250 look

Looks good. 7 hrs???? That's dedication!

I have the Poorboy's Natty Blue, good stuff. It'll get a coat of it this weekend. The wheels get dirty faster than the car. Next up is a set of ceramic brake pads.

Looks good, however this is the reason won't ever buy a black car, shows the swirls too much
I'm buffing my lex this week and not looking forward to it. Prob will take me 8 hours or so..

I told myself that after my first car, since then this makes my 3rd black vehicle. They look the best when detailed properly.

I was hoping to get a black IS but I came across a good deal on TP. Black does truly look the best when done right. I remeber when I had my black blazer I clayed/waxed it took almost 13hours its all part of the passion of loving your car so its well worth it.

i spent like 400 bucks on detailing supplies...been 2 years now and i never once polished my car. ugh i just get so tired and after i clay the car i want to quit.

dawg, you just need to build up your stamina or do it in pieces.

It's gonna rain here most of this week so I detailed the engine and interior on the weekend...

almost killed me not washing it but it would have looked good for all of 3 hours if I had...

I just got my exterior done by a detailer this weekend (wash, clay, 1 step polish (got a full correction last summer), wax) and my cars paint literally looked fresh off the production line (starfire pearl)...and now its gonna rain 7 out of the next 8 days i dont trust myself with a buffer yet unless i can get some serious practice in, so i let the pro's do it.

Looks great, Black IS's sure look good when they're clean.
