Previous owner had...
The previous owner had wheel warranty and, simoniz system 5. I know wheel warranty transferred, what about the paint product? Can anyone tell me about these items more in depth and what they include? I have already had a bunch of items/ issues fixed under warranty, but I am looking for more education on some things. Thanks.

Wheel Warranty, that usually is road hazard tire and wheel protection. What that does is it protects the tires and wheels against damage via potholes, blowing out the tire, puntures needing patches etc. Tires are fixed or replaced depending on damage, not due to premature wear. Wheels will be replaced if the it can no longer hold air pressure with the tire. If they can hold air, sometime it will be fixed or not depending on the company. Simoniz system 5 is a paint protectant that is basically a teflon coating over the paint. Protects the paint against any harmful products such as acid rain, love bugs if you live in the south etc. If paint shows wear thru the 5 years of install of Simoniz it will pay for that panel (s) repair or respray of paint matching it with the rest of the car. I am a finance manager for a Toyota store and thats what I sell, along with extended warranties and such! Hope this helps, I tipped the surface there, without going into too much depth. Yes all of those products are transferrable unless the previous owner cancels those contracts for his refund.

^^^i recommend you take some pictures, post it on here and one of us can help you, or go on Meguiarsonline.com and register as a forum member, post your pictures, and someone will make a recommendation on how to fix it if it's possible.
Or post it under the Automotive Care & Detailing section and i'm sure someone can help you.
Marbleized etching could be clear coat failure...which i doubt you have, but, you never know. Pics or it didn't happen...

I can't get the darn light for photos to reveal this paint issue. Looks like somebody resprayed a clear coat and let it dry outside. Thus leaving imperfections all throught it! Any advice please!

The only ppl that have had the car is a local Lexus dealership. They sold to a lady new, she traded it in. Then I got it. So it leads me to believe they've done something to the paint. Idk, sorry to bore y'all, just getting ready to make an appt for another issue and wanted some ammo on this.

Took car to Lexus today, they think it's acid rain eating at clear coat! No go on covering it under warranty. Super pissed! Going back for other issues on Friday, anybody got some ammo for me?
