Your car is too handsome to touch. It's much more handsome than my all black 06 Ultra. But everyone has different taste.

@dnc lol thanks, I'm quite sure ur ls is handsome cuz in my opinion I think all are 430 are handsome. After all that's why we purchased them. but wat I do is wash it at least once a week with turtle wax car wash dry wit micro towels and then apply Meguiars detailing spray and wipe it in with micro towel.

If I explain my detailed washing process no one on here would ever reply to my postings again being convinced I am crazy. It's the only way I can keep the soft paint finish as scratch free as possible. If their finish was not so soft these cars might be the most perfect modern car.
