    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...

    4 months later......

    .....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...

    Silver metallic paint .... looking for help.

    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...

    Repainted hood question

    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...

    Add me to the list............

    ......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...

    Considering OCW instead of QS....

    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...

    Need help cleaning headlight lens

    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...

    Anyone here in San Antonio?

    I am looking at a vehicle on EBay for sale at North Park Lincoln and would sure like to have an Autopian opinion as to the condition of the vehicle. The interior looks immaculate but I don't trust pictures for paint condition. I would be willing to compensate you for your time. I just hate to...

    What color LS 400 to buy?

    I am going to buy a used Lexus LS or GS 400 with relatively low mileage (something under 100K and probably closer to 60-70K) and don't know what color to get. Black and gold are not even under consideration. White and silver would be ok if the car was perfect but they are not my first choices...

    GEPC/SEC compared to VM

    I was looking at the thread comparing the GEPC/SEC to AIO and couldn't help but think that with all of the oils in the GEPC/SEC that they reminded me more of VM than AIO. I know that VM is much more versatile (glass, trim, etc.) but what would the primary differences be between VM and GEPC/SEC...

    What is the most pollen resistant LSP?

    I have about a 3 month period of heavy pollen here in Nashville and was wondering what LSP would show the least accumulation of pollen. I was thinking about trying UPP but was just told in my thread asking about UPP that it might be a bad choice? What do you recommend to resist pollen?

    UPP question

    I recently got a 3 oz sample of some UPP through the Autopia trade thread. I wanted to use it as a LSP this spring during the pollen season due to its reputation as one of the slickest products around. I will be using it on my 2003 Accord Coupe which is graphite pearl (kind of a dark...
