Lexus Detail

[BREMBO]

Gave my Parents Lexus a going over at the weekend. Following stages were done...

Megs APC
Clay'd
Zymol Shampoo - 2 Bucket Method
Wheels Off - Cleaned + Arches (APC)
PC'd - Meguairs #83
AG EGP - 60min!
Zymol Wax
Dressings/Interior
Engine Bay

Rather pleased with the results, paint was very rough and now nice and silky! Photos not the best. Always forget to take pictures at certain stages when doing this.

[Bluebeard]

Nice work!

Although Lexus wheels always have and always will be s**t. Look at the state of the back of that wheel after!! Its a right mess!

 

[BREMBO]

Ye refurb needed!, thats more corrision, could have been at it all day and it still wouldnt have been 100%

 

[Bluebeard]

Oh aye, i'm not slating your detail, just the shockingly bad quality of lexi wheels.

 

[Ali]

Good work Ben.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

Nice job there, nice bus too.

What's the engine look like under that massive cover ? (I know it's a V6) Does the cover just pop off ? Weird seeing things all covered up but most cars are like that these days

No no mate, lol the actually have Toyota on them, those Japs!

Good work Ben.

Thanks mate.

Think its relatively the same layout as the Clio V6... just more room!, more a less a clip off clip on, just to confuse the older generation to take the car back to Lexus £££

Ah ok, does the engine look anything special without the cover on it ?

iirc, re the wheels, Lexus is the expensive brand name for Toyota, well it was years ago.

 

[BREMBO]

Cant see I have taken the cover of yet. Its the 250 model though

Indeed, they still are. Just like lifting up an Audi bonnet and finding VW badges all over the place. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was a story floating around not long ago about a Bugatti Veyron owner being very pissed off at finding VW stamped on something in the engine bay lol.

Good job mate.

The 250 is great to drive.

Check if the wheels are starting to bubble. If they are then you will get them replaced under warranty. 3 years, if i remember rightly.

PM me if you need any help mate. Used to work at Lexus.

[rob_clio197rs]

yeh get them done under warranty, im a tech for lexus and ive replaced hundreds of them, shouldnt be a problem aslong as its not over 3 yrs old or done more than 60,000 miles.

 

[Firas]

[BREMBO]

Thats a job! but will be worth it in the end

 

[Firas]

Thats a job! but will be worth it in the end
