  1. So I did the tires b4 and after photos of meguires tire dressing (never used it b4) I think made all the difference!?
  2. Is the 2nd gen IS 250 exhaust tail stainless or chrome? I'd like to know what metal polish to use.
  3. My polishing serves as an exercise for me to learn all the imperfections. (Credit is due for the AG wax, it did return results with little effort.) In 3 months I will for example know to clay- bar the front bumper and compound the rear bumper. Those pesky 'detainees' ..I knew what u ment hehe
  4. That did include cycling to get car shampoo haha hosed down, then 2 bucket and mitts method wash, microfiber dry and 30min wait, machine polished and buffed every panel and door sills with AG super resin polish. Waxed with AG extra gloss protection microfiber then machine buffed, then glass cleaner windows n mirrors. Rained alot 2hrs later. photo of results /beeding attached:
  5. The scratches are still there. The good paint looks good and overall better. I hope the finish lasts. I should have used a compound 1st or more abrasive pads. The saving grace is that as you say- the finish lasts well. I worked for yrs as a finisher in the BMW MIni paint shop.
  6. 2x wash is keen!! Is Meguiars polish or wax? I need clay! Whats in the spray bottle? 🙂
  7. Polished n waxed on Sunday 12yo (didnt do the wheels/tires)
  8. After spending nearly 5hrs polishing with autoglym super resin polish on Sunday, I was not impressed with the results and I wish id used something better (possibly abit more expensive.)
  9. Hi My spare key fob and passenger door puddle and door red light are not working. So far tried putting a battery in the key fob. Not sure where to start with the door. Any advice would be muchly appreciated!
  10. Ive been wondering since I brought the car why there was a battery in the ashtray! Cheers 🙂
  11. Hondaman! Can you RIP me a copy of the disc or do you have a link or were there any distinguishing features?
  12. Hey scudney. she has all the equipment except the sonar distance cruise control, sunroof and the cubby hole for sunglasses. As i only paid 3700, it would take approx 5yrs to see those benefits assuming a 2010 of the same spec condition and milage (say 2k more!?) NB. Passed your way twice yesterday 🙂
  13. "SOLD..Hold out yah hand!" I bought it. Full lex service history not a mark on it both inside and out (I mean it's like a 2yo car) Thanks for your guidance gentlemen.
  14. If I like it it will be a 133mile drive home. It has been sorn since January other than a foot pump what should I do before driving it? (It has a new battery)
  15. I felt cheeky doing such a diesel petrol u-turn after a month of looking. I was unaware of a 200d!I? ..I would have been looking alot older than 2011 mind you. By this time tomorrow it looks like I will be the proud owner of a 250!
  16. Thank you for your wisdom Paul and I totally agree - ive just seen how much that would be to tax! That being said it does look like a gem and I should be going to test drive it tomorrow 😄
  17. I joined LOC yesterday. I am looking for the same (IS250 SE-L) My budget is currently 4k. Did i read somewhere your budget was 6k? Good luck!
  18. Thank you Colin.. Wise words im sure. I dont want an IS200 id rather a 320d BM my research has turned me away from 220d. An example on my budget, thoughts?; https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202002197485247?advertising-location=at_cars&price-to=4000&radius=1500&postcode=ox263xf&price-from=2500&model=IS 250&make=LEXUS&sort=mileage&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&page=1&modal=custom-social-links Who knows what with the economy and my saving more £ will bring... Oh and being on the LOC! 🙂
  19. Thank you for having me Steve! I would be an 220d owner by now if it had not been for lockdown. If my patience and continued saving prevails, I will be an is250 owner 3.5-4k+ budget permitting.
  20. Hi all (brand new member here) I am looking for an IS250 to buy with a current budget of 3.5 - 4k. Preferably less than 70 - 80,000 miles. I'd like a service history that shows regular servicing and either Lexus or independents. (I can make time and have essential tools) Would prefer leather interior. Must have either parking radar or camera. Mark Levinson stereo. I'm in Oxfordshire and will travel national (for a gem) I've been scanning autotrader Gumtree FB and eBay. (I changed my mind about a cheaper 220d after looking for a few weeks) Thanks in advance.. Jim
