We got a new parking garage at work. It’s a complete game changer. No more bird poop, bee poop, dust, pollen, rain, and UV rays.
It’s an extra 4 minute walk to the office so my coworkers don’t understand why I would want to park here. I guess the majority of people don’t care about their cars.
I am even more OCD than you, i leave my 500 at home safe in my new garage and drive a beater. But i hear ya 100% .. poop of any kind is never good unless some are into that $hit lol
^^^^^Puzzled by your wheels They come standard on the IS 300/350 F SPORT, not the IS500

Yeah i didnt like the Enkei wheels on my white 500, too light so i bought the 350 wheels. They are a different finish in canada and are far nicer (gun metal painted finish) unlike the polished finish in the US

Its' a stunning look IMO. The gun metal finish 350 wheels we get in Canada are awesome. I was debating for a while on whether to do the same for my IS500, but grew to like the darker Enkei's over time, so I'll stay put.
Top image are stock 235/40-19 and 265/35-19 Bridgestone tires, bottom is 245/40-19 and 275/35-19 Michelin AS4 tires. Not only is this just a better tire, but it gets ride of the "pinched" look the stock tires have, closes the fender gap by a small amount, and adds a little extra clearance from ground to body which is nice with a lowered car.

Photos were taken less than a month apart.
How has been the performance difference? What stands out? Also of thinking of going 245 and 275 given the car is "under tired" from the factory.
