Picked up another F this weekend.

Welcome "back".
May I make a suggestion for the black paint, if it's in great condition and does not have any swirls, here's what I recommend to make it shine, and you only need to apply it every 4 months or so:

Hmm, as a detailer I've never heard of that stuff. I would rather use something made explicitly for cars paint. For a short term sealant I go with CarPro Reload. Easy to apply and doesn't need 12 hours of curing. Curing is usually only required by semi-permanent paint coatings that are meant to last a year +. Like 22ple, which is what I have on my F...these types of coatings require proper prep and paint polishing before application though, especially on a black car.

It was just a suggestion. I've been detailing cars for a while, no professionally, but enough to get some decent results. I've used everything from Meguire's 26, P21S Carnuba, a variety of spray waxes etc.
This stuff works very well, I don't cure it for 12 hours, maybe 5-10 minutes and you're good for 4+ months. The sealant helps with the sun, rain, bee pollen and the worst: bird poop.
Another product I like is PoorBoy's for dark colored vehicles.
Each to his own.

I see they have a black 08 at Calgary Lexus now, not sure if 4everkidds black 12 is still there? How come you picked this one over his? Just curious I would lean to his with the headers, red seats and powdercoated brakes, of course that's without knowing prices,km, ect.

If you have swirl marks and never worked with a circular polisher, I would let someone professional help you with that part, especially on a black car.

Here is a couple pictures of some of the previous work Ive done, on a part time basis.
I don't take many pictures of the stuff I do and I still have quite a few somewhere on the computer but anyways, there's a R32 GTR downpipe for a Borg Warner EFR and a turbo back exhaust on a Supra that made 680whp @ 26psi on MS109.

I have a downpipe and wastegate recirc Im doing on an FD these next few days, I'll be pic intense for those interested in the plan circulating my head for the F's exhaust.
I can also upload a few pictures of a fully built Supra with a BW SX400 and built Titan motor, I did majority of the plumbing on that car. (Accufab clamps etc..)
