Only a picture so should help. Does take a while to build up the layers. Best of luck with it Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

I repaired marks / holes around the centre vents in mine before I sold it. I used one of those kits off of Amazon. Takes a while to do but it takes your eye off it. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Same as me. I'm considering moving into the valeting / detailing business as I'm facing redundancy again. Really want to do something I enjoy for a few years. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

If you sign up for detailing world and ask the question there you will definitely get your answer. Many of the guys have brought the simple Ebay ones and have been happy with them. They are a handy thing to have but I have not got one yet. Depends on what you are aiming to get done or do regarding polishing or compounding and to what degree.

Just get the autoglym kit from halfords, easy to use and great results. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

I only ran mine in v power or nitro as it's now called or Tesco momentum is just as good. You dont need to add anything else apart from that then give it the beans. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

I'd be surprised if the water pump hasn't been done already as they have about 10 years in them before they go, if not it probably wont be long until you hear it if it's not been done. They are a fixed price at Lexus and it's worth going there to get it done. To my knowledge you get new coolant added at the same time. Spark plugs to be honest I wouldnt bother with they will be fine and it's a big expense to get them done. I would however look at the brake calipers on these as they are a known issue and seize up. The slide pins need regular greasing and Lexus dont do it. Simple to do yourself though or a trusted mechanic. You should get many more miles of motoring out of it they are fantastic cars.

Just buy the whole thing it's so much easier. Probably cheaper as well. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

The blades are made by denso. You can get them from euro car parts Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

That's a very open ended question. Depends on how its applied and what your trying to achieve. As mentioned what protection are you going to use after? Will you clay the car prior? Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

I have that issue on the wifes side. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

5 and a half hours on the youngest little Yaris last week. Was much better after that. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Out doing a detail on the daughters tomorrow, unfortunately its not an ISF. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Give some of this a go on the tyres prior to application. Cleans the rubber superbly and gives you a good clean base to work on. Might need a couple of hits but it's very good, you wont believe the muck it pulls out. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

The best bet if your budget will stretch would be a SE-L model as that has all the gadgets if that's your thing. Look out for Mark Levinson audio as its brilliant. I wouldnt advise a manual as it's not great and the road tax is a small fortune, best get a smooth auto and relax plus lower road tax. You dont say your budget but there will be a few things to look out for when buying. So what BMW did you come from? Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Looks like it has some marks on the rear bumper and the number plate is wonky. That would need sorting for that kind of cash. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Had grooved ones on a car I used to own. No real difference to be honest apart from the noise when braking from speed Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Brembo disks and pads on eurocarparts come to £213. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

For the sake of a couple of hours work I'd save the few hundred quid and do it myself. Theres no way on earth I'd pay that kind of money. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Gyeon tire express is superb and leaves a lovely natural finish. Autoglym tyre gel is good but can sling a bit if over applied. If you can make sure these go on a clean tyre they will last longer and regular topping up seems to help. Gyeon tire express on my Mazda a few weeks ago. A little goes a long way.

Good shout on the battery. Replaced mine at about 12. One caliper and a water pump at 10 years which is common. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

The main issues are sticking calipers, water pump and look at the exhaust. As long as it's been serviced regularly preferably by Lexus it should serve you well. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

Good timing. Made up your mind as to what you will go for? Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk

I would call in2detailing up and ask about ceramics as the list is endless. Imran is the guy who runs it and is very knowledgeable and very helpful. I can list lots different ceramic coatings but he will know far more than me. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk
