Thank you!

One of Lexus’ best designs in my opinion. I absolutely love the headlights especially. Timeless. The current generation is a downgrade in the looks department.

Thank you :folded_hands: I agree! I like the rear quarter panel on the current gen, but everything else is better on the 2014-2016. The DRL separate from the headlights, the stance, functional brake vents, trunk, and the wider front fenders make it stand out.

Any tricks you do to keep them looking clean? Looks as fresh as new!

My 2007 ES was Obsidian. I loved that color.

My 2018 ES is Atomic Silver. It’s beautiful, but… my next Lexus will probably be a return to Obsidian.

Never take your car to a car wash. It just damages the paint.

Basically, I use a dual-action polisher. Since I’ve done correction on the paint, I’ll use a cleaner wax then a liquid polish. Then my choice for a paste wax or a liquid wax, or ceramic liquid wax.

Best products I’ve found are from Germany and the UK:
