Thanks!

The wax job was by hand and machine. It was a tedious process that took me and my friend 2 days to finish it inside out. Not too sure what products he used but they weren't off the shelf stuff.

Simple wash
Clay Bar
polish
sealant glaze
canuba wax

Interior was steamed cleaned and leather conditioned.

Clay is pretty easy. It's all in the feel. I scrub until it doesn't feel like sand paper anymore.

Car looks great, love that stance you nailed it! I had tanabe's on my last lexus and they rode great. How do the coils ride? I am prob going to get tanabe's for the ls but man that stance with the coils is perfect.
