Car Care Tips from ‘Ask Lexus’

Just purchased your dream car?  Congratulations!  Here are some car care tips, courtesy of Lexus Magazine,  offered to help keep your vehicle looking new for years to come. 

What’s the proper way to wash and wax my Lexus, and how often should I do it?

Let’s consider the finish on your Lexus. At the base is a primer/sealer that has been formulated for flexibility; this elasticity makes it more responsive and provides greater protection. Special chip-resistant coatings are added to areas subject to high wear, such as on the hood and around the wheels…

All of this combines to make the finish on your Lexus among the most durable in the industry. And regular washing and waxing will help protect it even further. But there’s a right way to do it.

For starters, hand-washing is the way to go. (Lexus owner’s manuals warn that commercial car wash facilities may scratch your Lexus.) The idea is to hand-wash your vehicle regularly to remove grime and contaminants that can abrade or mar the finish, and apply a high-quality paste/hardened wax only periodically, as needed—primarily for UV protection.”
