WOW! Looks great!

 

thank you!!

 

Quick...where are my sunglasses!?! ....ah, that's better!
The light reflecting off ur car is blinding!
I guess with such a dark colored car (and BSP is one of my favorites, I might add) knowing how to detail it yourself is a real plus, and obviously you do! Nice job!

 

Very nice

 

Any photoshoots with your car? You have my favorite color Lexus offers

I'm even considering repainting my ES with that and a couple volks slapped on

 

thanks for all of the kind words...yes the black sapphire pearl is also my favorite color of the 2IS...but sadly there is only a few of them on the streets...but good thing for me...hahahaha...

 

every time i come around yo city BLING BLING

 

huh?? not sure what u mean...LOL...

 

I really need to do this to my car. The detail is superb. How much did the supplies run you, if you don't mind me asking?

 

sure no problem..

This could get you started:

PC7424 - $105
#80 - $15
8006 Pad - $10
LC orange pad - $8
Meguiar's Ultimate Kit - $25 (includes Nxt 2.0, UQD and 4 more random items)
12 pk Vroom Towels - $10

That is however the MINIMUM things that I would buy to fully detail the exterior...

 

Haha, I saw your post at Autopia, I wanted to post the same thing I did here

Show me some photoshoot style pics for my wallpaper

 

hahaha...thanks!!

 

I'm glad you decided to DIY after the "hack" job you got in the past. Great job!
