May I make a suggestion for the black paint, if it's in great condition and does not have any swirls, here's what I recommend to make it shine, and you only need to apply it every 4 months or so:

Hmm, as a detailer I've never heard of that stuff. I would rather use something made explicitly for cars paint. For a short term sealant I go with CarPro Reload. Easy to apply and doesn't need 12 hours of curing. Curing is usually only required by semi-permanent paint coatings that are meant to last a year +. Like 22ple, which is what I have on my F...these types of coatings require proper prep and paint polishing before application though, especially on a black car.

Can you PM me details on how/what you're using? Im new to the detail thing and swirl marks etc...I was going to pay someone to give the exterior the full nine yards but after doing a lot of research I feel like I can do a pretty good job.

Hence I said, if his car does not have any swirls. If it does, he will need to claybar and paint, wash all that off, dry the car, POLISH out the swirls and then apply whatever sealant he wants.
It was just a suggestion. I've been detailing cars for a while, no professionally, but enough to get some decent results. I've used everything from Meguire's 26, P21S Carnuba, a variety of spray waxes etc.
This stuff works very well, I don't cure it for 12 hours, maybe 5-10 minutes and you're good for 4+ months. The sealant helps with the sun, rain, bee pollen and the worst: bird poop.
Another product I like is PoorBoy's for dark colored vehicles.
I see they have a black 08 at Calgary Lexus now, not sure if 4everkidds black 12 is still there? How come you picked this one over his? Just curious I would lean to his with the headers, red seats and powdercoated brakes, of course that's without knowing prices,km, ect.

If you have swirl marks and never worked with a circular polisher, I would let someone professional help you with that part, especially on a black car.
Here is a couple pictures of some of the previous work Ive done, on a part time basis.
I don't take many pictures of the stuff I do and I still have quite a few somewhere on the computer but anyways, there's a R32 GTR downpipe for a Borg Warner EFR and a turbo back exhaust on a Supra that made 680whp @ 26psi on MS109.
An RX-7 with an LS3 Turbo would be a nice project.
I have a downpipe and wastegate recirc Im doing on an FD these next few days, I'll be pic intense for those interested in the plan circulating my head for the F's exhaust.
I can also upload a few pictures of a fully built Supra with a BW SX400 and built Titan motor, I did majority of the plumbing on that car. (Accufab clamps etc..)
