Looks beautiful. I hope you get to maintain it so it doesn’t end up a swirled mess. Dark blue is tough to keep clean.

Thank you. That is very kind.

For those folks that wish to maintain it themselves, I instruct them on the Two Bucket Method and supply them with the tools and products to get them started.

That blue is rich! Looks great with dark windows and the chrome wheels. Incredible work as always.

Hi Mike, I know I’m resurrecting an old thread, but I just bought a 2018 Lexus LC500 and it is supposed to have one of those magic paints that heal themselves. Did this LS 500 have the same paint and did it give you any special problems? Thanks

Holy Ghost from the past! Congrats on the new car…. Beautiful ride.
