Default PICS, first wax job - Modem users beware (BIG)
If you're not on a high speed line, this could take all day...(can't stand to lower the quality).
Did my first waxing of my TP IS350, yesterday, so had to make some digitals of it, for those of you who like pics. Enjoy!

Not sure I understand this question - it shows on the front grill in several of the pics. Just didn't catch the light in the last one.

Hey, is that pinstriping on your car? It has a nice effect on the lines.

I agree, although I was reading a thread a couple days ago where almost nobody liked pinstriping - one said it was too "eighties" looking. Sewell put it on there; there's even a little L in it about 6" in front of the doors. Classy, I think!

Yep, I didn't wax the tires!
I used Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax. It's top-rated by Consumer Rpts, and you can buy it at WalMart, for about 6 bucks.

not 100%, but i think he meant the Lexus emblem on the center caps on the wheels.

In any case, good work! It can be challenging showing the true shine on a light coloured car. I have seen some pics of silver cars that turned out really really really good in a well lit underground/basement parking area. Also, avoid using the flash, just adjust the exposure/speed of the shot.

Somebody STOLE my logos? I never even noticed that they didn't have the logo. I'll ask about that on Monday when I go in for my 5000 oil chg.
Anybody else have chromed stock wheels with/without logos?
