Keep Exterior Clean With Dark Blue

[rhwimmers]

Proud new owner of my first Lexus. I got a 2003 GS300 - Dark (midnight?) blue with black interior. Have had it about 45 days now and only 1 complaint - Its harder than crap to keep this thing lookin nice! I guess this is really the first dark colored car ive had! Just a short rain and it looks like crap again! Any suggestions on how to keep it clean? Doing the DIY wash doesnt even work well if you dont manually dry it or it shows all the water spots - even with the "spot free rinse". Ziebart has that extra coat of clearcoat ive heard about but im not sure if that would help or not?

Any help would be great!

Also - looking to see a bunch of GS300 pics to get some ideas on what kind of rims/tires to get for mine and what types of mods people do to theirs.

Thanks

All the info you need is in the "What do I do first" sticky on top of this forum. Read that and come back to us with more specific questions.

Do not buy the Ziebart stuff though, thats just a bulk grade polymer sealant. Spend the money on a professional detailer instead.
