Default Just washed and quick detail

Washed her yesterday and applied one coat of Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer and she is a beauty. Have a look.

Thanks everyone for your compliments. Here are shots of the 350 after washed and quick wax.

looks good!

finally got around to doing the annual wash/wax past weekend and discovered bunch of paint chips right above the windshield where roof meets windshield. It sure does look good after waxing.

Ooo......I see the mark of the beast.

Looking at these, I still prefer these over the '13.

Sigh! I wish the LED headlights were standard on all RX models. They look soooo good!
GoHuskers, do you prefer the ride of the 18 inch wheels on the 350 vs. the 19's on the 450h??

The two together really highlight the difference in the grills of the 350 and 450h.

Thank you. My sister, who owns Bimmer and is Bimmer fan, told me to get His Lexus and Her Lexus vanity plates but I think it is too cheesy.

The 18 is SMOOTHER while the 19 is NOISIER. Honestly, I will replace the OEM tires with 255/50/19 next year and it will be even noisier than now. To answer your question I prefer the 19" better.

Yes, indeed it does make it different.

Waxing take 20-30 mins using the buffing machine. I was late for the family gathering so I skipped the roof. I bought the wax and quick detailer from Amazon. Pics are below.

Thank you all.
