Well i gave the lex a facelift a couple of weeks ago with the headlight conversion and i finally got round to giving her a damn good polish.

This was using the method of:
1. Wash & Rinse
2. Clay bar
3. Rinse to remove clay residue
4. Polish
5. Seal
6. Carnauba wax

Wow shiney !!!! Definitely worth the lost calories it looks great

That looks amazing, really need to do that to mine but I'm too lazy and keep putting it off......

Nice job. If the weather was the same as over here, you really lost some weight today, haha!

looking good mate!!

Where did you get the yellow bulbs for your fog lights? seen that on a few cars and looks pretty good, very european i'd say.

Looks good. Mine's getting the same treatment on Monday if the weather is ok. I do it once a year as it takes about 5 hours

I got the bulbs off flea bay. They were from a US seller so they took a while to arrive but i couldn't really complain at 11 bucks.

Looks really nice

Thanks very much, my next job is to smoke the front fogs so they're nearly the same colour as the bodywork.

The rear lights were a bit of a pain in the arse but very worth it. I did a write up here [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=62219"]Click Here[/url]. Hope it's not too ambiguous. It just takes Patience, Guts and Patience oh and Patience, hehe hope i stressed that enough.

Looks amazing mate I picked up an is200 sport last week same colour as yours and if i manage to get it half as good as yours i'll be a happy bunny lol :-)
