Car washes work in a pinch when they are cloth and brush FREE!

The filter is vomit inducing. But it looks awesome in USB with the BBS wheels.

Looks like a 2021 IS350 with DHP that took its Class of '92 senior portraits.

::chuckling:: I’ve found through this experience, most dealers take crap photos! 😂 Now for those with a serious IG presence, they have a clue.

The pics my salesman sent of mine were just as bad, but I didn’t care. Just gimme the keys!

The Infrared is a gorgeous color, but if I am perfectly honest, this color looked better with the original Enkei wheels...at least in pics. Maybe it lools better in person?!

I agree, I was sad at first that I didn't have the BBS wheels. But I have to say on Infrared the styled up look of the Enkeis does look better to me as well. I think though it would look good with the blacked out wheels. If anyone has a pic of inrared with the blacked out Enkeis I'd be stoked to see it.

At the gym today, couldn't resist snapping some amateur pics of "Trixie," my 2023 AS/white with BBS wheels. Sorry for the lack of quality here folks, I'm using an iPhone 6!

No worries! A beautiful car punches through anyway!

Very nice.

This is not a beauty photo, but I am really excited I was finally able to remove the water spots from my hood! I thought my clear coat got eaten off, but it was just the hardest water spots I've ever seen. My baby is back to 100% now!

Looking good! My water is really hard too. If it even dries a little before I can wipe it down with quick detailer it's a pain to get off. So I have to wash my car about 45 minutes before sundown so there is enough shade to cover my whole car, but also have enough light to see. Just glad I got the ceramic coat so that I can just my leaf blower to get the majority of the water off to quicken the process.

So my water is hard too (ha), and I was looking into some solutions for that. You can buy a filter that attaches either to your hose or pressure washer that would solve those issues. I am trying to decide if it is worth the cost, especially since I would likely be doing the same process (ceramic, then light washes and drying with the leaf blower).
