Did the clay bar today...
all I can say is WOW! This picture does it absolutely zero justice but I had to post it anyway. The paint was not bad by any stretch but it now has a very deep, wet appearance. Smooth as silk.
It was pretty easy too... I took it to the Wash Tub and paid them $65 and sat and watched them do it. Took all of about 45 minutes with two people working on it!

Same here... the Silver was just because that is what they had but I can honestly say it is my favorite color for the LS. I had been looking for white. Send me your chrome wheels!!!

the best detailing is when it's donen to a black car... ohhhhhhhhh.... 
The just detailed glass like finish and super shine... wow.
So if I read correctly YOU did not clay bar the car... the "car wash" place did right? I bring mine to the shop too and it runs me $220/visit.

Well... the $220 is wash (exterior, including dressing the wheels), vac interior, clay exterior, swirl removal, polish, then wax. Not just wash and wax on, wax off, 1 hour done. 
I've been to other places with my other cars for cheaper ($150) but did not like results.
