I8ABMR you have one beautifully cared for GS. I really mean it. Please tell us what you use to get that look. I'd like to try it too. I take it, that you really do drive it? Just beautiful!!!! Yours is one that causes others to buy dark colored cars. Or is this a "trick" picture, done with smoke and mirrors. lol

 

A big +1. I have a Black Sapphire '10RX and love the color but, I8ABMR, those wheels are absolutely gorgeous!! They really make the car. WOW

 

got my black sapphire rx 450 yesterday. beautiful color and the tan interior looks great but i think it will be a battle to keep looking good.

 

Have had my Black Sapphire/Ivory interior since April and it's fine. Didn't care for the dark floor mats originally, but I think they are a god send at this point. Get lots of comments on the exterior color - most folks think it's a black car and/or "ooh and aah" over the beautiful blue.

We'll see how that pretty blue hood looks after driving it to Tahoe this weekend on sanded roads, I am wondering what the paint chip damage might be...

 

All the comments about the paint's fragility have me worried. I took my RX 350 thru a brushless carwash and noticed a couple of 6" scratches on the hood. I can't say they're the result of the carwash; it may have been noticeable because the car was clean.

Any way to get rid of these scratches? Touch up paint? Some kind of rubbing compound? Buffing?
