The Turlte Wax is on the Pacifica, Hyper Dressing on the S560. Tire brands take dressing differently, but these are both Pirellis so should be similar. Much prefer the Hyper Dressing. Thats one coat of that vs 2 coats of the Turtle Wax too.:


I've been using the Turtle Wax Graphene dressing and have stuck with it for a while. I prefer a matte or low luster shine and with one coat it works for that. Our cars are low mileage and it holds up well too. Of course now I'll have to try the Meguiar's lol. I was just getting my cabinet cleaned out a bit too.

Haha, sorry! Yeah if you like a more matte look then it looks great, also just not as easy to wipe on and walk away as a dressing like the Hyper Dressing.

Hyper Dressing is hard to find premixed, but AutoZone has it. It’s mostly sold in a concentrate in gallon jugs that requires dilution.

I’ll shoot you a pm after I see more! Columbus where you are is dead center in the way to family in Rochester. Thank you again for your offer, you don’t have to do that!!!







The paint and seals look good, or good enough. Yeah?? No?

And remember, buyer’s market. He can’t sell the car, it been over a year.

Headliner is an easy fix. Gotta see better pics to be sure.

On detailing supplies, if you ever need an incredibly fabric spot cleaner, you cannot beat Folex. It’s amazing…right inside the garage I have a high traffic carpet area, I just spot cleaned it with this and it removes stains before you even rub

Saw my first TX on the road too. I'll agree to disagree with you guys on the front . Rest of the dimensions looked good though

Saw my first TX on the road yesterday in Illinois. It looked good. Looked just like what I've seen online. No surprises.

That's how I felt as well when I saw one in person recently.

Absolutely, Lexus is back with this thing. These things will fly off the lots. And so will the new GX, though maybe not as much as the old one...we'll see.

And yes these look really good in person, substantial with presence.

I do agree that the TX and GX will probably be Lexus' most recent best sellers. 2 SUVs with completely different purposes from top to bottom. I'm a fan of both

hey if the TX makes all the toyota execs rich enough to the point that they decide it's time for another cost ineffective halo car then i'm all for it... 11,000rpm V10 + KERS lets go!!!
