Unfortunetly all the steps you have explained you have done on the car do not reall fit into detailing what so ever. Yes it sounds like you have done all the steps you can possibly do before passing it onto a professional, and thats exactly what you need to do

The only way you will remove swirl marks properly is to use a paint depth reader over the whole car to see what panels have what thickness of paint paint and more importantly laquar to work with, then you need to use either Rotary Polisher or DA and some more up market products aka cutting compounds to work into the laquar. If you have never used a DA or a rotary polisher before i would get an old panel and practise on one first but personally id rather pay a Pro Detailer to come round and do a full paint correction, hope this helps

I also have a black lex and polish it too much but as previously said do have alot of swirl marks as soon as you get close :-(

can you give a guidence price on a full paint correction sounds like a good idea!

Very clean looking.

first thing i done was lower it 40mm on springs and have to say it was a brilliant investment, if you got the money get the coilovers tho.

And welcome :-)

Agreed find it really bad with TRC on in the snow, no control.

will / can i fit 5 x 100 to my is 200

i know it is 5 x 114 but is there a conversion kit etc, i have no idea pleas help.

thanks

Cars are definatly a she

in the past i have had names as jeramia, delila, betsy and now the Lexus is called Layla.

# 1 int the charts at the moment.

sooooooo good

Tint spray can work, but all the ones I've seen have eaten into the plastic after a while making the surface matt and quite rough. Not sure if they've used the wrong type of paint though.......

I remember one member on here a while back tinted his lights using a heavy duty tint film (similar to those used for window tints) and the result was really nice!

cool thanks for the heads up.

If you don't mind paying the price a Lexus dealer is a simple option, otherwise need to keep your eye on ebay and breakers as they're pretty rare but will come up now and again :)

i want to tint the lights and am going down the route of the tint spray you can get!

is this not a good idea?

not sure how much tax would be on it or if they are any good, think its just 3M sticky tape for it.

i have been thinking of getting this but have not yet.

Hi if anyone has standard springs for sale in good condition please let me know, want them to cut for next summer so i can slam the is200 to the floor :D

Cheers

Hello, the lex is a nice car to drive.... not so sure when its a bit icy tho

i heard they are predicting snow this week, looking forward to the drifting practice ;-)

have you got the gmax 40mm springs?

i think they are called race dynamics! they were not the best fit in the world, deep maroon in colour.

maybe a stupid question but what did u mount them with? just sticky pads or is there proper mounts that come with it

cheers

Hey people

got my lexus is 200 about a month ago and love it, just had a nightmare lowering it 40mm yesterday as bolts were seized!

so much helpful knowledge and direction on here i look forward to many an hours reading.

Peace
