Just bought a LC 500 sport plus need advice

[Winston]

Hi I have just bought a 69 plate LC 500 sport plus (my first Lexus)

it’s not being delivered till next week, is there anything I should know about driving / running it.

or anything thing to be aware of, and should I need to do anything to protect some of the body work

Etc.

any advice would be welcome as I am a newbe to the forum and Lexus

Thank you

Take it to a detailer and get a ceramic coating put on to protect the paint.

The front bumper and bonnet likely will need PPF to protect it from stone chips too.

Thank you Ratana for replying 

 

do you think the ceramic coat would be better than putting the film coating on the bumper and bonnet, I don’t particularly want to spend fortunes but want best long term solution

I can highly recommend PPF. My bumper, bonnet, front wings, A pillars, mirrors and headlamps are covered. Needless to say there is not a visible mark on any of those surfaces and the film itself is self-healing.

One other area that would also be worth covering is the rear of the side skirts, which, like so many cars, will be prone to stone/chip damage.

Icing on the cake would of course be a ceramic coating, but PPF probably offers the best physical protection in the long run. Btw, the chances are before the PPF is applied the paint will be thoroughly cleaned/machine polished.

You need both really. 

So the PPF will go on the front and the ceramic coat on top. Otherwise the water behaviour will be different front to back

Great thanks both of you
