Default Freshly Detailed... finally.
Well, after buying my car in November, it was finally nice enough to spend some time on the paint finish. I think it turned out fairly decent.









I also put on the rear black pearl badges. Paint isn't quite as perfect as I want it as the Lexus paint is a lot harder than I anticipated, but overall I think it looks fairly decent.

Oh, and here is my process on the detail job if anyone cares:

Wash
Clay
Polish using a combo of Meguiars 83 DACP and 80 Speed Glaze
NXT x 2

All using a Porter Cable 7424. A Flex 3401 is on the horizon.
