Hi Folks.

We just picked up a Lexus LS460 FSport in UltraWhite. Previous to this we had a 2005 Lexus LS430 in Moonlight Pearl. The LS430 had a very soft paint, that was easily handled once I figured that out.

Anybody care to share their take on the newer models and the best way to handle the paint during cleaning and polishing?

Also I am considering a seal coat after prep and polish. This is would be new to me in that I have never used one. Advice here or links to advice would be pretty swell!
A few products that I am looking over. Please feel free to criticize, add or tweak my current selection. Remember, new at this stuff and I am feeling a little in over my head.

McKee`s 37
GTechniq EXO
Cquartz UK Edition
GYEON (not sure which....Prime or Q2)


Thanks!

I used griots boss creams on our Lexus is250 f sport with great success. The exo is good but using csl topped with exo is excellent from what I have seen. Make sure to due the prep work with any coating for success
 
McKee`s 37 is the easiest to use of the coatings listed (and the least expensive). I`m my opinion coatings are not all that difficult to apply. The first time you do anything it is a little intimidating. Just remember to polish the paint well because a coating will not mask any defects like waxes can. Just follow the manufacturers directions and watch a few installation videos and go to it. You can search here on the forum by coating name and you will find help with each coating.
 
Congratulations on your new ride! The LS 460 F Sport is sweet!! Please post up some pics.

Of the coatings you listed, I only have experience with the Gyeon line. Gyeon Mohs is their top consumer coating offering and the one I would recommend. The application is fairly easy and the kit comes with everything you need.

Gyeon also just released a finish polish/coating primer called "Primer." I would use that as my final polish before coating with Mohs - especially on a white car. Should really amp up the gloss before coating. Then apply two coats of Mohs.

If you wanted to get really crazy, do 3 coats of Mohs and then top it with Gyeon CanCoat! This was recommended by a Gyeon representative for insane gloss!

GYEON Q2 Mohs Ceramic Paint Coating - 30 ml

GYEON Q2 CanCoat - 200 ml

Doesn`t look like Autopia or Autogeek is carrying "Primer" yet, but it is out there... just do a google search.

Whatever you end up choosing please post pics of the finished product! Good luck
 
Thanks. The Kamakaze is new to me gotta check it out.

Lots of new products and pads since I last spent the time to stock up. The Rupes line interests me, however it seems to be for randoms rather than rotary polishers. That true?
