Good morning. I had purchased a ls430 and I finally got to washing it. I started to notice black on my waxing job on my cotton rag (I know its bad) I was using. But now all these chips on the front hood and several large scratches on the bumper that were not there when I bought the car. The other issue is wax will build up in these scratches and make them pop out.

I cleaned the bumper off and got the wax out of those ones but they are deep through the clear coat and to the paint, some even going to bare metal.

Would anyone happed to know of a product that would hide these for a Lexus with black paint?

I haven't personally used it, but I've heard very good things about Dr. Colorchip.

Cool thanks, that even matches the paint code. I don't think this dealer went to that much trouble, more of a black wax or something?
I think Ill try that kit although expensive. The problem with these kits is they only last so long, if it lasted a year I'd do it.

They used a heavy glaze to hide them...washes right off. Dirty dealer trick.

The Dr Colorchip kit is touch up paint, it should last longer than a year. I personally would pay a professional to touch it up.

As Steve said it's a trick they use when they know you are coming to look at a car, I also agree it's best to have someone who knows how to do so perform a touch up/correction to make everything nice again.

The best thing, short of repainting or correcting, would be a dark pigmented wax for dark/black vehicles. turtle wax makes one and it's cheap and it works.

i'd do a correction then that.

I've use Dr. Colorchip for years with very good results.

I've also had really good results using Dr. Colorchip on multiple vehicles for the past 15 years.
