    the front de-icer is just heating elements under the wipers. it also heats the washer jets, the idea is in the washer fluid you have deicer,. the heater heats the wipers and jets allowing you to 'swash' the front and have the de-icer in the washing fluid do the... well, de-icing. left on long enough the front window will begin to heat up and defrost. but its only supposed to heat the wiper area.

    I find all HID lights to be over bright. It always seems like their brights are on and can be painful to look at. While its good for the driver as they can see more the other vehicles (like me) are dazzled. Not really safe :S you can see but if the others cant they may still hit you.

    i was thinking of repainting my calipers but i dont think im brave enough yet (not much for modding my cars to be honest). Had a look though and they look fine, no rust or corrosion so will leave alone. Might just stick some logos on though :D Well, day 2 of my cleaning marathon and ive now hoovered and polished the windows. Apart from the lower part of the rear window which was sent to this earth to just wind me up :S

    deffinatly says 38-39 for my tires :S

    oh yeah, forgot the mention its the 17" Z rated tyres. looks like the 39psi in the manual is a little higher than most have.

    i got the same ones as jiberjaber when i got my is200 the other day. thats all i got though, half a tank of petrol and no other freebies :( really wanted a cargo net to secure things in that big ol' boot of mine

    Thanks folks, took the color magic back today and got me some auto glym resin polish... and super gloss... and glass cleaner always happens, its like sending me out to get a loaf of bread.

    hi, dont shoot me but im confused. According to the manual it says (based on my setup) that my tyre pressure should be 38psi front and 39psi rear. But according to the FAQ's on this site is says they should be 35psi front and rear. Which one would you recommend

    well looking through the forums and not being able to get any mer... before the weekend i think im gonna go for the Auto glym polish and high gloss for afters. after ive used the bucket and sponge to start with :P
  16. mercenary
    what about hiding those swirls in the paintwork, the Autoglym any good at that?
  17. mercenary
    any idea of cost?

    anyone know where i can get a cargo net for my lex from, ideally not a dealership as my nearest one is a good few hours away. a halfords alternative will also do. Thanks

    Hi, new here and just got me an IS200 :P and its due a clean and polish and I need your advice. I bought some silver Color Magic from turtle wax to wax my car after I finished but im not sure if this is the best stuff. Im limited to buying only whatever my local halfords has so turtlewax and auto glym are my limits. What do you think of the color magic stuff and what would you recommend doing to my paint after its been cleaned i.e polish, gloss coat etc.
