Finally got off of my lazy butt and detailed my lex. Now that I have a garage I was able to do a full exterior detail using clay, polish, and wax using porter cable buffer. There was lots of swirls and oxidation present before but now it's as good as new... well almost.









I was going to change emblems to chrome but I think gold looks better especially with my 962's...
Not bad for 18 yr old factory paint eh?

nope actually I detailed it a few days ago. The pics were taken at parents house after water rinse. Black cars are tough. my next car will be white or silver... Have fun with it.

looks great. i remember doing this to mine atleast once a month last summer. mine is off the road while i'm at school right now but its a pretty good feeling when you can see the whole city and the sky reflecting off the side of your car isn't it?

Looks GOOD!

but in your 5th picture, it looks like you have your tires on the wrong sides, i may be wrong, but they look like Nexen tires, and i believe they are directional.

You may be right I was half asleep when I swapped the wheels from my Z. Nexen tires FTW!!

Yes it's a nice feeling. I wish I can make a ton of money detailing cars lol.

Thanks!

It looks good. I have been detailing cars for a long time, and black is the hardest to do. I always use a foam pad and I clean the pad after every panel. Great work, and thanks for sharing the pictures.

Is that the stock front lip? I got really confused, mine used to have that one. But now that im having to replace it the one i got from Dallas doesn't look like that. i like the way that one looks 1000 times better

Yes it's a stock lip. I want to repair the small damage underneath but I don't know what to do with it yet.

Thanks. I had a black legend before and I swore I wouldn't get another black car but I couldn't pass on this one.

It's not lowered. It does have a set of aftermarket shocks. Rear looks high because it's on inclined driveway.
