Finally gave her a bath... here are a couple pics

[swooopeno]

It was an 8 hour bath in preparation for a 2000 mile drive and nasty salted roads. A little wax goes a loooooong way! Hasn't looked this good for at least a year!

Here's a couple pics w/ our new, and soon to be sold is250 in the relfection.

nice looking runner

nice, any specific kind of wax you use?

Nice. We have a 4runner and an is250 in the garage. Looks we also have the same colors for both as well. Why are you selling the is250??

I used to use Meguiars NXT, but it doesn't seem to do as well on the 4runner finish. I use Meguiars Gold class liquid wax. I throw it on w/ the porter cable orbital. The combo of wax and buffer get rid of A LOT of minor scrathes. I did a 3 step scratch remover/polish/wax last year, and achieved nearly the same results as I did this time. I'm very happy!

Ahh.. the IS250. So sad to see it go. I've only had it a few months. We are making a somewhat unexpected move to Chicago next week. I won't be working, and soon to be wifey will be taking train to work... so one vehicle will be plenty and there's no way i'm selling the runner. Besides, given the winters in chicago, i think i'll trust the runner over the RWD lexus w/ 18" summer tires....

8 hour bath? Did you have 4" thickness of mud on it? Lol. I remember it only took me about 2.5 hrs to wash and wax my 4Runner on Thanksgiving weekend.
