Default its been a while..

Hello again with pictures of my car. Some of you may remember my car with bra on it and a girl standing by it. .

I decided to take the bra off after it been on the Lexus for about 2 to 3 years. I was so pissed that it was full of paint chip and all that. The bra was kind enough to leave dirt all over the front end.

I washed it but my pressure washer wasnt giving full 3000 psi for some reason but i went ahead to wash most of dirt/salt off the car. I've yet to clean off the underbody.

so heres the dirty pic for now and please mind my 5mp cell pic. Once it is clean, I will use my nikon if i can and my 8mp cam as a back up.

I have a question, How much it would cost to repaint whole front end and add the clear bra? I will go to body shop but i just want to have some idea of cost before going to body shop.

**hope my grammars is good enough** Sorry if my isnt this good.

Heres the pic.

the pictures dont justify how dirty the Lexus looked. One wipe with wet towel, All dirt is on towel and still more dirt stuck on the body.

Im about 85% done cleaning the car. I really need to shampoo my carpet but i dont have bissell little green vacuum.

Have you tried a clay bar? That would be my next step after a good hand wash; I'd try that and a good polish before you think about repainting. It might be worth it to find a good detailer and have them take a look at it, at least get a quote, if you don't want to mess with it yourself.

Welcome back BTW!
