I've never had an issue with microfibre, laundered at 40c and tumble dried they come out soft as a baby's posterior. If you are experiencing scratching/marking you are doing something wrong!

You don't say what trim level you have, vinyl or leather seats etc.. The owner's handbook usually give basic cleaning recommendations for the various materials. On my leather seats I just gently vacuum and wipe with a damp cloth. If I feel it needs a deeper clean I would use Dr Leather wipes. Lexus recommend a dilute solution of wool detergent in water. On the dash and door trims I dust regularly with a microfibre cloth and a spray of Meguiar's quick interior detailer spray. I would avoid using leather conditioners as any leather would be sealed and impervious to these conditioners and simply leave the surface coated, attracting dust and grit.

I only ever feed my cars with V-Power, no need to but on the miles I do it's not worth worrying about the additional £6 or £7 a tank full and it gives me peace of mind that the fuel system is being kept clean...

I had a red interior in my Mercedes C class, it divided opinions but generally was applauded. I also had red in my second RC, similar comments again I think a red interior is a statement and one that you must feel comfortable with... How about a Hazel or clove colour interior as I had in the red RC, I think it would go well with a black exterior, quite classy? I found the red did take a bit of looking after, depending on one's daily attire but nowhere near a much as the clove. Black does have it's advantages!

Because they only 'cloning' the signal not the physical components

I've always used Nextzett gummi pflege stift on all my rubber seals at least twice a year. Prevents them freezing shut in the colder months. https://www.amazon.co.uk/nextzett-91480615-Rubber-Stick-White/dp/B004B8GTQG/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=gummi-pflege&qid=1693580246&sr=8-5

Not necessarily, the fault that needs the recall was only introduced after yours was built. A completely different batch of (now faulty) components by then

I suppose this is what the Lexus "self-healing" clear coat is meant to reduce/repair. Exposure to heat/sun activates the healing process, according to the handbook.

My handbook specifically states not to use waxes that contain abrasives ...

Toyota production line shut down and investors simply shrug, that's the level of confidence they have in Toyota's resilience .... https://www.moneycontrol.com/europe/?url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/toyota-shuts-factories-investors-shrug-thats-resilience-11281081.html&classic=true

Which model and year, exactly, do you have?

You only need to disable the intrusion and tilt sensors during a ferry crossing. The button is usually in the overhead control panel, a button with a picture of the car with a wavy pattern inside. If you have the NX450+ it's on the shortcut menu touch screen

Never noticed anything like that in any RX I've sat in. My F-Sport is very comfortable (as was the F-Sport RC I had previously) and I've done a number of extended, non-stop drives of 4-5hrs without any discomfort.

WD40 is a Water Displacement spray not a lubricant...

What was the "other stuff" you did to the car?

Glad I signed up with SAGA and their 3yr fixed premium. That'll take me through to 2025 and then, of course it will be Maybe I'll save enough over these next 2yrs to cover the 4th year increase ...

It matters not what one pays for a second hand car, it's the list price when new that determines the VED

I had the same model/year/grade and experienced the same creaking. I just asked the dealership to lubricate the sunroof (it was in for a service) and that sorted it perfectly.

I agree Lexus cars are terrible, they spoil one's experience in any other marque 😉😁

Have you tried adjusting the distance settings? Set to the longest might better match your braking points?

It's worked flawlessly for me every time I've bought from them ..

VED is calculated on the list price for the car when first registered not current market price

I use a Dyson stick vacuum with their auto accessory kit. Powerful enough to get the footwell mats pristine and gentle enough to de-dust the centre console switches etc..

Our driveway is pebbles and the kick sensor works every time, never a problem...

From the LC500 handbook ■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) part (if equipped) ●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. ●Do not use automatic car washes as they may scratch the CFRP parts and damage the paint.
