Terrible day with my ES350 :(.
On my way home this rainy cloudy day the TPMS light comes on 
....already I am thinking $250 wasted....as I pull into my garage I am in quite a hurry to check which tire is flat...so I misjudge the garage and whack my mirror. .
Now I am really
....I check out the mirror damage looks bad....so I pull into the garage as normal....
I have this 3M scratch remover which I used when my BMW was whacked into the garage that was NOT ME....
...and it works like a charm! And I think the TPMS is just on for no reason because each tire has ample amounts of air.

Terrible day with my car :(.
I know I don't have a GS 3G...but I may get one soon ..and I know many of you guys care about your car as much as I do...
My car is a 07 ES350...SGM. The product 3M remover was $10.

If any of you guys have any light surface scratches or even something that MIGHT look DEEP....this will get rid of them...I have used this on my Lexus and BMW.

Ya I went crazy with my Mom's '07 about a year ago trying to get that stupid light to stay off. Finally gave up as I assumed the brain or a sensor was messed up, and took it to the dealer. They told me about the spare, sure enough it was a little low. Never figured the spare would also communicate with the system, pretty slick.

moved to detailing forum where stuff like this belongs and cleaned up from OT and rude commentary.

it doesn't look all that bad, but definitely a strong rubbing compound with a scratch remover. its a garage. tight quarters and plenty of things nearby- stuff like that can easily take place. hopefully it's an easy fix so that it looks back to before. the scratches don't look all that deep, just need some good elbow grease or a buffer. best of luck!

Others work well to in this case, like Optimum Compound II, Meguiar's M105, Meguiars Scratch X 2.0, Menzerna Power Gloss and also 3M scratch remover with our Orange CCS Hand Power Pad Applicator.

looks like you can buff most of that off but you do have some deep areas. have you looked into http://drcolorchip.com/ ? this stuff works great and the color match is on point!
