Also, is it just me but when I saw you pic, I was like what kind of "pompon" hat are you wearing? I thought the water spot on the bottom right pic was a shadow of your head - I can't unsee it (lol) (nose and chin facing the right side of the image)
Haha! That does look like a nose and chin, good eyes.

I did miss taking a picture of an infrared IS500 (my first color choice) when I was in Dubai, I was driving out of a parking lot out of Dubai Mall turning left and it was turning right. Probably some guy with lots of money to pay market adjustment and have it shipped over there. The only thing that went to my mind was, that could have been mine!

The truly BEST way to clean or dust a car safely is by using a surfactant like car wash soap or detailer. These have surfactants. Surfactants are polar molecules that will naturally pull dirt or dust away from the car’s surface and essentially envelope it in water by creating a micelle. The hydrophilic heads of the micelle interact with the water and the dirt can be rinsed off with water without any abrasion to the car. This is why nothing will ever beat good old soap and water.
The California Car Duster will damage your paint over time. A dry cloth full of dirt being rubbed all over... bad idea. I won't even do that to my own body.

^^ No offense but if I had to chose between an IS 500 and your body on sexiness, I think you know where my money is (lol)

Happy Monday!

Problem with early morning photo shoots, the clouds haven’t burned away yet. But I wouldn’t have gotten a clean shot otherwise. Oy. 😎
