I bought a CT200h F Sport Special Edition that has "Ocean Blue Nuluxe leather". It is a very dark blue and I have just been using wet microfiber towels to wipe off the seats weekly. I was wondering if anyone knew enough about this fake leather to let me know if there were any do's or don'ts...

My niece has a 2005 Civic EX (128,000 miles) with heavy hail damage. Insurance company has offered $5,000 for damages or get it repaired at place using used replacement hood, trunk, etc. Car was pelted with golf ball sized hail that left deep dents all over and broke the windshield in several...

.....and I am still thrilled with the Opti-Coat that Integrity Detail applied to my car. My GS still beads like crazy, still cleans up noticeably easier, and most important of all it still looks great. I see absolutely no difference now from when it was first applied. Very curious as to how...

I would like to buy both the Danase Wet Glaze and the Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus from the same person and/or retailer to save on shipping but don't know if it is possible. I would be willing to trade for either but pretty much down to Optimum and Werkstatt products. Not expecting...

I would like to buy both of these from the same person and/or retailer to save on shipping but don't know if it is possible. I would be willing to trade for either but pretty much down to Optimum and Werkstatt products. Not expecting anything out of this but thought I would at least inquire.

What LSP would you recommend for that extra pop on metallic silver paint? I just ordered the Ultima sampler kit to try but wondered what else might be out there that I should try. I have used the Klasse twins and then went to Prime Acrylic and AJT which is very similar and I am not unhappy...

I had my hood repainted (paint room, baked, high quality job). My plan is to polish (?) with some Optimum Polish, and then seal with Prime Acrylic and Acrylic Jett Trigger before putting some 3M film on the front bumper, hood, and mirrors. My GS400 eats rock chips and as much as I hate to put...

I can ship UPS ground from my office for between $5 and $8 depending on how heavy the package is anywhere to the lower 48. I would also be willing to trade for Poorboys Spray and Wipe, ClearKote QuikShine, or some 4" pads. $10 Meguiars #16 (used once)SOLD $2 Meguiars #26 (new) SOLD $5...

I need 4" polish or finishing pads (prefer new or almost new). I have always wanted to try a sample of Menzerna FMJ but I would go for more than a sample if I have what you want to trade for. Optimum No Rinse Wash - any amount. Poorboys Spray and Wipe - any amount. I have the following...

......FK #425 won me over today. I received my order last Friday and used it for the first time today. Definitely added some pop and brought out the metallic in my paint. Easy to apply, no streaking, great price and very nice bubble gum smell. However, the bottom line is forget all of that...

My gallon of QuikShine is down to the last 16 oz. I have been using Poorboys Spray & Wipe for light clean up and QuikShine as my touch up Quick Detailer for the last 2 years. I have often mixed the two of them as well. I was wondering if using Optimum Car Wax instead of QuikShine might be...

I had to replace the housing for the Zenon headlights on the GS400 I just purchased ($1,200 each at the dealer) so I found some online for $200 each. One of them was very clear but the driver's side lens looks pretty rough. It is not really scratched but it is marred and almost has a hazed...

I recently bought a 1999 Lexus GS 400 that was Artic Silver. I had it repainted by a guy that has done several paint jobs for some of the country music stars (several for Alan Jackson) here in Nashville and it should be ready on Tuesday. It will be the same color but with just a little bit...

I am considering one or both of these mods for my recently purchased '99 Lexus GS 400. Does anyone have any experience with these? Comments or suggestions?

If any of you know someone with a '98 GS 400 for sale (preferably either red, green or blue) that is good condition I am looking for one to buy. Please let me know. I am more concerned about the condition of the paint and interior than the number of miles or options. I would appreciate any...
