Clean Car Weekend! :Woot: 56K Steer Clear.

I've put off posting pics long enough (I bought the car last September) and Blue Streak wanted to show off after her wash and wax

Nice pics. I love the USB

Hopefully I can bag an 2008 USB with ML and NAV once I get back in the workforce

I personally wish you the best of luck. Let us know WHEN (not IF) you nab one!

My baby is a daily driver and it's rarely this clean, therefore I had to document.

It took around 30 minutes to wash and dry, then another hour to vacuum the interior and apply protectant. I took a couple of hours the next morning applying the Zaino...basically wipe on/wait/wipe off but I wasn't in a big hurry.

For the interior I used a can of Honda's OEM vinyl & leather protectant that my wife got from the local Acura dealer. It is a really top-notch product...it produces a nice luster without being shiny or greasy. Is the Lexus version any good?

^Appreciate it, the Zaino product line is a great one to use

Not sure whether the Lexus version of the vinyl and leather protectant is decent although there are a few threads on here about what people are using to clean the interior
