Default ZUPPABLING GS300 @ Chicago HIN

My brother's GS300 at CHicago HIN.





Can you say "bling" ? I think it is the shiniest black GS in Milwaukee. No swirl on the paint. But cleaning this car was a very very punishing, backbone-breaking job.
mods: Veilside Andrew Golt wheels, Veilside + L-sportine spoilers, Blitz NUR Spec exhaust, SRT intake + chip. RICEEEEEYYY... but also tasty.

ricey because it's loud but not too fast. Don't get me wrong, I love his car soo much. It's a head-turner.

WOW!

I wish I could get that kind of bling for my paint job!

I have swirls galore compared to that.

Unfortunately, no trophy Some other lexuses were mean, no competition for me!
There was IS300 converted to 4.0L engine with either supercharged or turboed producing 600hp
and there was a slammed, heavuly modded red GS with 8-10 screens full with amazing system

He? Me? No.. I just gave a little hand
gewe21 and his buddy did almost all the work from buffing, detailing, and all the waxing..
But for sure, there was no swirl, only very soft scratch line which is impossible to remove under those many xenon lamps on the show

I'm taking my time when I did it, but it was about 6 hours with Porter Cable "random orbit" buffer and DACP (I'm not sure... Meguiar's perhaps)... then S100 paint cleaner (also using electric buffer), and then 2 layers of S100 wax job (by hand).... and a little cleaning with duster and Quick Detailer during the show.... If you live near Madison, WI, I can refer you to the actual detailer... they are one of the cheapest detailer but producing the best result.... I borrowed the equipment and learned the technique from them....
