Exterior Care
I've had my ES350 for 3 weeks now and want to wash it but I'm apprehensive of doing so. It still has that perfect new car finish without a single blemish. I'm afraid once I start washing it the inevitable small abrasions will appear. What do you recommend? I wash our CTS with the Mr. Clean Auto Wash. It does a great job but wonder if I should stick to touch free car wash's. What does everyone here think? Also, do you use leather conditioner on the interior? I have the perferated leather with the heated/cooled seats.

As popular as the touchles washes are...there is no substituteto a little TLC.
You will need a few items to get started.
1) A good quality car wash (Duragloss 901 is the best I have found and can be picked up at any Carquest)
2) A good quality wash mit (There are many good ones available)
3) A good quality microfiber towel or two
You will want to put on a good coat of wax or sealant but that is another story
By all means....Leather is just like your skin, it needs moisture or it will dry out
Good luck
