Finally got around to clean and wax the car and tonight I´ve been out in Stockholm city taking pictures. Hope you like them! Included a couple of closeups of the CF-wrap...

The wrap really looks great.. they did a good job on it... the CF im not a huge fan of but if its more rare out there then thumbs up! Any extra care have to be taken with this vinyl? or is upkeep the same as with paint?

The wrap looks amazing! It's incredible how it turned out, almost like a whole new paint job.

Thanks guys

Would like new wheels, but have to take care of the winter wheels first. Unfortunately the car came with kind of crappy winter wheels...

I think "Staman"´s new wheels https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post6814916 would look great on my car too.

I´ve been told that the Azure wrap can be treated just like paint. It is waxable (which I did with good result) and polishable. You can wash it in a "machine wash" (not sure what the correct English term is?), even though I will never do that. I think the only thing that differs is that you should be slightly more careful with high pressure water (?), you need to keep a little bit more distance...

The CF-wrap is different though, no waxing or polishing. I think vinyl/tire clean is probably the best option.

They also claim that deeper scratches (non polishable) can be "heat treated", I need to see that to believe it though

Quick question, what did you do to the CF roof? Does it come that shiny, the only ones I have seen / used it is matte in color. You mentioned vinyl/tire cleaner. Does it keep it's shine, or does it turn into matte after a while? The CF roof looks similar to wet CF. I like the way it turned out. If you didn't like the red of the OEM tails, you could have tinted them with a dark tint. Also you may want to look into the chrome window surround blackout kit. I have this on mine. It covers the chrome trim around the windows. It holds up really well. I still have original install and it was done in 08. Not bad for $12.95.
