When I did a 2 step correction on my GS430 (millenium silver), I noticed that the black pillars and side window trim had one of the softest, stickiest paints I have worked with. No clearcoat on those areas either so I assumed it was the same 202 black onyx.
I tried a few different pad and polish combos. My PE14 proved to fail at correcting these areas even at a low 900rpm. I guess it's because the softest 4" pad I had was a green uber pad.
What ended up working like a charm was a LC black finishing pad with 106F on my XC3401 (so glad I got a DA for these soft jobs that come along).
What pad and polish combo did you use on the entire car? And I was also wondering why there was clearcoat on the hood and some other parts but not others?

Front sections where clearcoated in my best assumption because they were repainted after the car was built. Most likely in the last 5 years or so. They did a great job as i couldn't tell the difference until i put my pad to the paint.

Nice. I wish I read about the quietness and control of the Griots DA over the PC. When it came for me to choose mine all the reviews came up about evenly between the two and what settled it for me was I happened to catch a nice deal on the PC. Maybe when I have some extra funds, I'll pick up a Griots DA and compare them two. The PC does tend to be very vibrational, that I can attest for.

I'm down here in SD till Sunday :-p
I need some paint correction to a few very small minor things around the car (I usually do details / washes / waxes myself)
I've asked a Toyota for the 1c0 touch up paint and they sell it in little bottles HALF THE PRICE OF LEXUS DEALERSHIPS!!!!
shows you how much Lexus Stealerships really rip you off.
But I'm a poor *** college student right now, PM me with a quote please
