    Re: Time To Show Off Your Own Car!

    When I purchased the car, wife said, "take care of it or I'll take it".
    So I went to Meguiar's Saturday school to learn the fine art of concerned car care.
    She hasn't taken it yet.

    Much care and feeding required for Obsidian Black. Meguiar's is the food.

    Nice ride David and it looks perfect!

    I love the black color of the RX's. I just remember how it gleams in the UQW quik tips video. It's just amazing.

    Thanks gentlemen,

    I've done a lot of experimentation on the obsidian paint (Lexus clear coat). The list of products used reads like the Meguiar's catalog. As someone has said, you don't own black, it owns you.

    Good golly!! 17 years old and outside all the time?!?!?!? Looks more like you drove it off the dealer lot, detailed it to perfection, and then parked it in a museum. How many miles on this truck, and is it completely original?

    Looks like you learned well, David (but then, we've known that for a long time!). Beautiful reflections here.
