Yes, but the entire bumper on my IS300 is painted. If I had rubber/plastic areas like on an RX I'd mask those off with blue painter's tape. I try to do a full wax at least 4 times a year, oftentimes more since I like to baby my car. I've also been using NXT since it first came out. Ever notice how it looks even shinier the next day, after it's had time to cure?

NXT Gen is sweet. On and off easy, forgiving on the cleanup. I never noticed that about next day. But the stuff shines like a mo fo

VENICE?? No way!!

Youve prolly seen my car around...black SC300 5-speed on chrome IS300 rims lowered.

You on the Island or not on the island?

If you need help with detailing, Im about 5 minutes away. And if you would need me to detail your car, I could glady do it.

I might have seen you today. Just caught a glimpse of a Black SC this morning.Were you turning onto Shamrock Dr today about 7:45AM? I am on the island everyday but I live in south Venice.
Here's my ride-dark green GS430 w/SD grill

OH, no, but I know the SC that your talking about. Its a black 97+ on 20" chrome rims. Mine is actually in the bodyshop right now (my best friend's mom backed into me ), and will be out this friday. I actually live right off of South Venice Blvd. We could meet up this weekend if you wanna talk cars and detailing, and maybe even take a few pics. Heres some pics of my car
