6-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Maintenance and care
Unlike a vehicle with a normal clear
coat, special care is necessary to pro-
tect the appearance of a vehicle with a
matte clear coat. (
Working from top to bottom, liber-
ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use car
wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.
Wipe away any water.
Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) part (if equipped)
●
As the CFRP parts may change color if
they are exposed to ultraviolet rays for
extended periods of time, Lexus recom-
mends that your vehicle be stored in a
place where it will not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
●
Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
■
Black stainless steel window moldings
The stainless steel window moldings are
made of black oxide coated stainless steel.
When cleaning the vehicle, do not scrub the
moldings with an abrasive cleaner as their
finish may be damaged or the color may
change.
■
Self-restoring coat
*
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●
The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from
when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
●
The restoration time differs depending on
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature.
The restoration time may become shorter
when the coating is warmed by applying
warm water.
●
Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
●
Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
*
: CFRP parts (if equipped) do not have a
self-restoring coat.
■
Automatic car washes(vehicles without
CFRP parts)
●
Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi-
cle. Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors
before driving.
●
Wash the vehicle with the active rear
wing retracted. If the vehicle is washed
with the active rear wing raised, depend-
ing on the type of automatic car wash, the
brushes of the automatic car wash may
become stuck on the active rear wing. In
Cleaning and protecting the
vehicle exterior

eled. Be sure to prepare a clean cloth and
use the clean portion of it to clean the sur-
face.
Oil-based substances: Dab a cloth soaked
in benzene, lukewarm water or pure ethyl
alcohol (for drinking) within the dirty area
