Just Washed My Car For The First Time...

It's called 'prophylactic' preperation. Anticipate the problem before it is a problem. After the A/C goes belly up and you remember this thred ...
Earlier this summer not a week after I'd been thinking my builders grade water heater is about 9 years old and I should start looking for bargains, it blew. By the time I was done with Home Depot 'AND' Servepro, it was a little over $2 grand. Could have been a lot cheaper. My insurance is $1 grand deductible and that was about the Servpro part.
Preparing for debris that hasn't happened before is pretty cheap.

Car looks very clean. Well done. I went the slacker route and promised myself I'd never daily drive a dark colored car again.
Remember, don't use dryer sheets when you wash your microfibers and use one bucket to rinse your wash mitts and another to get more soap, this way the crud that comes off your car doesn't end up back on it. These things will certainly help keep your black swirl free.

LED headlights were always an option but were mostly special ordered. Notice that they do not have the LED daytime running lamps like the new 2013.

I always hand wash my RX-350,and my Wife's IS-250. My RX is silver,her's is red(tougher to clean). I never let the dealer give my Lexus the free car scratch..er I mean wash. Seriously my co worker had his RX scratched from the local Lexus dealer free car wash.
I am a nut about keeping my lexi's clean, but Anita I never heard of wheel woolies?
I use an old white cotton tee shirt and clean the wheels by hand.

Wheel woollies work great on your wheels. 3 sizes of the straight variety, 2 of the newer angled versions that will reach to the backside of the wheel to get out the crud. Available from multiple places including Autogeek. I used to use the stiffer Daytona and other variations of the wire/synthetic brushes, but the woollies are pretty good and I don't worry as much about possible scratching my wheels if I get carried away. Only drawback is you can't form them like you can the Daytona ones to reach strange locations on the inside of your wheel without removing it if necessary.

Have fun with your woollies.
