Default My mothers LS, freshly detailed

Spent 6 hrs detailing this pig yesterday and wanted to share the end results. Its truffle mica, which is a new color for '08. Interior is black and the tint is 15% on the sides and 45% on the windshield. I would honestly give my left nut for this car. Enjoy!



Hard to tell, but the color changes from brown to purple to grey and looks black at night, simply amazing!

It's great to see the 5-spoke wheels on an LS 460 in the U.S. Great job!!!

That is a heavy tint on the windshield. Is it legal down there?

Not exactly. I do have to say that Florida is one of the most lenient states when it comes to tint though.

And thank you all for the comments I'll be sure to pass them on to her!

Since you are now an expert at cleaning a Truffle Mica car why not come clean mine?

Love it, EXCEPT for the 5-spoke wheels that encore likes. (Ewwwww. Too heavy-looking!)

And that limo tint - especially on the windshield - would get you stopped in a heartbeat here in Texas! They don't allow ANY tint on the windshield.

I like this 5-spoke 19" better than the 10-spoke 18", but not in chrome.
