i spent the day yesterday test driving Various ES sedans and left with my 2020 ES350 F-Sport. We just bought a GX two weeks ago so I hammered away on the price and love my deal. Invoice was just over $50k and I paid $48k which included All Weather Mats, Clearmask and Lifetime Wheel Repair. Took advantage of the 1.9% for 60 Financing as well.
You mentioned you got the "Lifetime Wheel Repair". If you are referring to the Tire and Wheel protection offered by Lexus Financial, I got the same when I purchased my 2019 ES 350 F-Sport. It was the Tire and Wheel Protection Platinum Plus. You may know this already but that only covers wheel damage to the extent that a wheel won't hold a seal. It does not cover cosmetic road rash. It is also good for up to 6 years.
Actually, the dealer offered me their Wheel plan that covers wheel repair for life. The put it in the deal because the F-Sport does not offer the panoramic camera.

Lexus dealers now offer PPF and ceramic coating for their cars. Considering all of the rain you get there it maybe something you want to consider. It would definitely be worth the investment.
Very nice car! I have a 2020 silver model. You mentioned the "Clearmask", is that a plastic film that goes on the frontend to protect from rock dings/chips? I'm interested in that product, if you have the information. Enjoy your car!!!

Yes. Protective Paint Film (PPF) or Clearmask can actually be applied to the entire vehicle. Most people opt to have it applied to high impact areas of their vehicle like the front bumper, side view mirrors, front quarter panels, and the hood (which is what I had do e). Then you can have ceramic coating applied to the rest of the vehicle or in some cases it can even be applied over PPF if the film is ceramic based (like I had done to my vehicle).
My advice to you is to check around in your area to see who does PPF and ceramic coating for vehicles. Also check your local Lexus dealership to see if they offer this service. Find out the pros and cons of doing this.
Finally, understand this isn't a cheap service. I spent close to $5000 to have this done to my vehicle to include getting my rims ceramic coated. But I consider my car to be an investment and I plan to have it for a very long time.
Some people just choose to do ceramic coating because it's less expensive. But understand that will only protect against the fading and swirls in the paint. Hope this helps.
