    Hey Guys,

    For this detail, the vehicle was a 2007 Lexus IS250. Hence the title, I "IS" Ready...=)

    This model car is one that I've always wanted to own, and I still do! Of course, I would like the IS350, but the styling is still the same. The exterior body is just so nice, the front end is good, but the back end is just so damn fine, and the tail lights just fit like a glove.

    However, after having sat and crawled around the interior of this vehicle, I actually have a sense of how small it is in there! I've always known that the interior space is not too large, but after spending some time in there detailing and addressing every aspect of the vehicle, I kinda have doubts on it now.

    Anyways, onto the pics of this beautiful ride:

    Nice job buddy! I noticed you still do a lot of interiors. How often do you get paint corrections?

    People around here don't like paying for paint correction.

    Really? I guess people here are more worried about their image. What's important is how others see your car here :p I get more "make the exterior nice and never mind the interior" than you'd think.

    Still a great job though, Alex. :thumb:

    Not as often as I would like. But then again, I don't do this FT and I have limited time that I can put aside for detailing.

    Thanks raven, I used OPC and then for extra peace of mind I followed with 1Z CP

    What I've notice is that people don't want to be embarrassed when carrying others in their vehicleso they want a clean interior. Nothing is worst than opening a door to a dirty interior when givin someone a ride...lol

    Thank you supercharged and Lopealle
