It's nice to finally have a garage..I did the full polish on the car the other day with a buffer, and polished out the lips by hand. Everything overall took a few hours and it came out pretty decent. Nice to see this old paint have some shine. Maybe I should claybar now ![[Confused]](confused.gif) I'll go take better pictures this weekend of the whole car.
here's some teasers ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
and if anybody is interested in my Lexus for sale LEXUS LS400

Yes thats the roomates Lexus, he has new rims with not as stretched tires. Some smoother looking side skirts and the car would be on point. Here's some pictures I took.

Wash to remove dirt, claybar to remove stuck on contaminants, then polishes. If you polish first you run the risk of more swirl marks if not scratching the paint. Polishing/buffing pad should match the compound.
Looks good as is though!

Thanks dude. Which VSC meet have you gone to? I may have met you as well, I go to most of them also. Do you have a vip ride?

Haha you'd have to pay me a lot to do that all over again. It takes a lot of patience for it to come out right. Do you still head out to the thursday night meets?
