Default New from Japan, Toyota Celsior

Hello everyone, I am glad I found this forum. I recently came across a UCF21 Toyota Celsior, I think they are called a Lexus LS400 in America and other countries.

I have never owned a Toyota before and had no idea how nice these cars really are. I just got the car yesterday and it was a bit dirty to say the least so after a quick internet search I came across a thread from this forum about cleaning the leather with soft scrub.

Well no sooner then I read the thread I decided to give it a try. Here is my result. Oh also, I run a little YouTube channel called LabJapan, it is mostly about drifting, life in Japan, and building cars. The Toyota is one of our next projects, so please subscribe and share the video if you like what you see.

Here is the soft scrub video!!

Nice pick up. Love the color. It already has Wald side skirts so that's a bonus

What are the ~MC Celsiors going for these days? Some looked pretty good. Father in law was telling me I wouldn't like the inspection fees on the older models. Almost similar prices as stateside as far as ¥ but with current exchange rate it would be Where in Japan are you?

The good ole soft scrub method. Works well, though yuou can also use one of thos dish washing sponges with the scrub size to get the job done a lil faster. Great vid and the car looks amazing already. Welcome to the forums, and you will learn ALOT here.
