Interior detail… vacuumed, Simple Green, followed by a damp cloth wipe down and then an application of 303.

I must have been channeling @chinee. (plus we actually had our one day of sun for November) I did a very quick interior detail but most importantly swapped out my carpet mats for my all weather liners. I usually try to do this in October just as the rains are starting but this year has just been busy and I hadn't had a chance... the liners looks a bit dusty here so I wiped them down w a damp cloth after putting them in.
I also managed to pick up a Rigid Auto detailing kit that I think will make it a little easier to vacuum and clean inside the car - sadly I found this AFTER I had already vacuumed things out. It was on a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale at HomeDepot - bought online - picked it up in a locker 30 minutes later. Not sure I'll use things on the dash as they suggest with the soft bristle brush but the smaller hose, smaller claw, and smaller crevice tool will be nice. I wouldn't pay the normal price probably but for ~$24 why not?
Also found the Adams Foam Canon on Cyber Monday sale a couple hours ago at Amazon for about $25 off. The thing I'm looking forward to on this is that it rotates the direction of the fan spray 90 degrees to make it a bit easier to get things like the roof and hood - plus it looks like the Adams puts out a nice layer of foam.
One things I love about Lexus, and maybe Toyota does this too, they actually label the mats where they go. I forgot to pay attention on the rear mats (which are asymmetrical) which one went where. I'm sure I could have figured it out but I flipped the liner over just to see and sure enough..... It was a nice touch.

Cool....I picked up a gallon of one of the Adam's soaps to try as well. I got lucky, I went back to look at something else and the foam canon had dropped an additional $9 - so instead of $74 I ended up getting it for $49. I also picked up some Adams microfiber towels to try since they were on a Cyber Monday sale as well. Previously I was using microfiber cloths from Chemical guys and a local detailing shop and Chemical Guys Maxi-suds. Both I would say were fine but I wasn't amazed and figured it would good to try something new.

last night to be thankful that the GS has great headlights… the best in any car I’ve had. I have a 2018. Was there a headlight upgrade during the 4GS model years?

Replace both front wheel hub. I wish I did a before and after picture but I was in a hurry to get both done before 9pm. It wasn't too bad. Took about two hours. The hardest part is getting the old assmebly out.
