    Well, I was honored to be asked to do this one. 1 of only a handful here in Hawaii, 4 at last count. I thought it was a simple wash, clay, Cleaner Fluid, and Swissvax Mystery. The customer then said he noticed swirls. Brought out the Brinkmann and couldn't find anything. So I brought out the halogens...and look what I found. This was the only "before" pic that showed the damage.

    So, I brought out the Flex 3403, White CCS pad, and some 3M Ultrafina SE.

    After a couple of passes on each panel, Cleaner Fluid, and Swissvax Mystery, we took it to the park for a little photo shoot.

    Thanks for the compliments. Love the quad exhaust debate going on here. I questioned it myself. It is an actual dual-exhaust system (2 mufflers) and sounds like lions! But yes the quad tips are just for decoration. Ha ha, and no, they're not photoshopped.

    ISF is a crazy car for the price, if i get rid of my G35 ISf is the next car. 4 Door 450HP and all under $60k can't beat that. i belive F stands for FAAAAAAAAAAAAST...........

    Actually, 416Hp. But its funny that although the prices start at under 60k, for 65k, you get your choice of a GS460, GSh, LS460, and IS-F. I guess its all about personal preference. Even if I were single, I'd still be torn between the GSh and the IS-F. The LS is too "old" and the ride's too "bouncy" for me yet.

    Ha ha, great catch Nica! You spotted weesped himself with MY Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS L lens. He was trying it out and wouldn't give it back.:fs: I think out of all my lenses, I like that one the best. Not the widest, or longest, but very crisp and fast.

    lol...some peoples kids I tell ya hahahaha just teasing.

    Funny thing is that, that's the exact lens I'll be purhcasing next. It's a great lens and I agree with you it produces very crisp images and has great speed :thumb:..oh and one more thing is that it's IS too :woo: :woo:

    You take some nice pictures tod, I assume the pictures were taken with the Canon 70-200mm lens?

    Thanks for sharing, I still think that's a great get together :gidiup:
