Does anybody know what kind of soap they use to clean the car at the Lexus dealership? I just got my car back from service and it's the cleanest it's ever been.

 

+1 to this question

i am dropping my car off on monday for its 1k service and some other stuff she was like it should take 2 hours with wash .. so does lexus really get down and wash ur car

or should i just opt out and wash it myself

 

Don't know if every Lexus dealer is the same, but ours here in Hawaii has their own little machine that moves back/forth along the car.

mekrew,
If you've already detailed your car or have done it yourself, I would NOT have it washed. I do believe they use the kind of wash with wax in it. Not positive, but I think.
I just did some warranty work on my car and it was pretty dirty from a few rainstorms. So, because I haven't Zaino'd my RXh yet, I had no objections. But, when my GS went in for service, I made sure that they did not get my car near the car wash machine!

 

I'm not big on dealer detailing jobs. I even go so far as to keep my car spotless when i bring it in and tell them not to touch it. I used to walk in the service bays when they were working on my car and happened to gander at the detailing bays...didn't look like it was a priority zone. But that's just me and I'm picky as hell over my paint finish.

The car wash was just a complientary service of the dealership. But they still managed to remove the brake dust from the wheels and it really makes all the difference. I would never opt out the wash, considering that I dont have time to wash it myself.

 

well they washed it today

the wheels are clean the inside is all nice , but my paint isnt as smooth as when i brought it in.

i think they took the wax and polish off because the paint feels rough

guess i have to repolish/wax this week

still too early to clay i think (1 month old car)

 

Why is it too early to clay? Is there something I'm missing? I did a full Zaino job, Dawn, clay, 4 layers of Zaino 3 days after I bought my GS.

 

I clayed right after I got the car (okay maybe I waited a week) you want to clay just to get rid of all the rail dust/ etc. etc. that has cumulated during the transport to the dealership.

 

It is always time to clay when your paint feels rough.

 

well i guess it is time to clay

I guess I will start on it tomorrow

 

+1 haha, I was thinking that yesterday and I'm going to clay today.
