Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

Working from top to bottom, liberally 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 waterproof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) part (GS F)

CFRP is used for the parts shown in the illustration.

Self-restoring coat

*

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coating 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 contain abrasives.

*

: CFRP parts (GS F) do not have a self-restoring coat.

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime condi-
tion:

As the CFRP parts may change color if they

are exposed to ultraviolet rays for extended

periods of time, Lexus recommends that your

vehicle be stored in a place where it will not be

exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

CFRP parts may get scratched when using an

automatic car wash.
