I try to make sure the car is clean inside and out. I usually take everything out of the car, so if it didn't come from Lexus it shouldn't be in there (with the exception of my air freshener, disposable gloves, Snap on ratchet and socket to change the tire).
I usually try to keep the car garaged or parked inside of a parking structure to minimize sun exposure.
Windows are always up to minimize the dirt in the cabin, and I use recirculated air too.
I try to keep maintenance up to date if time and money allows me to. Most of the parts I've purchased for the car have been brand new from Lexus.
I do not drive the car in the rain unless I'm already on the road and it can't be avoided.

I'm pretty **** with my SC but way more so with the IS-F lol. But I still clean the SC inside and out at least once a week. Keep the engine clean, keep the exhaust clean, the wheels are clean inside and out along with the calipers being wiped down too. Most people, including close friends and family never see my cars dirty lol.

I did an interstate trip and the first thing I did instead of heading into the resort was find a car wash.
Sad to say my DD Soarer doesn't get the love it deserves (wash wise, it was washed first time a few days ago after about 2 months).

Man these are sone great things you all do with your cars. I am glad to hear that this thread is going somewhere. I never try to drive my car either in the rain, always constantly looking in the side mirrors making sure no one is too close or is driving crazy. Like the ol' saying great minds think alike.
The other crazy thing I do is when there is dew outside from the car sitting overnight at the fire station, is that I go out and wipe it off with a chamois before driving home in the AM. :-)

I was that way before, with my supra, but when someone totaled it my heart went with it.
I was so devistated I couldn't eat, sleep or drive. Then i bought e90 bimmer same thing happen within a year 95 year old mad man decided to hit me while i was at a red light at 40mgh no brakes, that was totaled too. From that point on i learned and realized that metal could easily be substituted for a better piece of metal called Lexus sc400
I am more **** about this ride than my other 2, with this said I don't put my heart into in, just in case this **** happens again, but do love my baby ( she happens to be a girl
lol
This is where she sleeps on week days

I just noticed how many dwp/ golden pearl owners there are in this thread. I thought it would have been more black onyx owners.

Well my paint is pretty bad and all I really care about is my interior, so I do wipe the dust off my seats and dashboard occasionally and vacuum my carpet and rugs. Until I get that body kit and paint job I won't really care about my paint :\
