I bought a Black Onyx 2006 Lexus GS300 a few weeks ago and need some advice on how to keep it as good looking as possible. This is the first car I've owned worth being proud about, so I know next to nothing about proper car care.
I've read countless documents about detailing, polishing, waxing, etc, but have no idea how to create a good routine based on my needs and limitations.
I park outdoors and the black seems to pickup dirt very quickly.
I got a membership at the local hands only carwash. They do an OK job, but there's much more room for improvement.
I'm a workaholic most of the waking day and go to school the rest. Any suggestions how I can get into a process of using the carwash as a pre-clean and possibly polishing and waxing afterwards myself... considering time as a factor?
Thanks!
