good news is that it can be buffed out out using a mini pad on a good orbital buffer.

 

Weird... my exhaust isnt like that (the mesh part or the peeling part) on my 2010.

 

Well the only thing I've had him use to clean my car is Meguiars --> http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...car-wash-64oz/

This shouldn't have caused the problem, I've been using it on all my previous cars and my other cars I have at the moment with no issues to the other cars.

If he was using Fairy dish washer liquid or something then yes I would understand.

Yeah I checked the other side last night and sure enough it is also bent,



I think I'll be looking at getting the welds strengthened up as well for the future.

No one has touched the interior of my car in terms of cleaning it, so no one has used any sort of degreaser or any sort of cleaning up liquid on the interior, I haven't let anyone clean the inside of the car.

Very weird, maybe they've changed this on 2011 models on wards.





Thanks for the feedback guys, at least I know the exhaust metal mesh bend is ok.

As for the chips in the tips I will have the dealers look into that, as well as the interior AC display.

I really hope the AC display just has a plastic cover on top because I didn't have time to check today, I'll try tomorrow and see if I can see any protective plastic film on top.


Being a first time Lexus buyer I'm already shocked at how the "said" quality of Lexus isn't coming true for me at least. My 2008 G35 sedan didn't have this many problems even years after ownership.

Still love the car but these issues need to be sorted out by the dealer when I take it into service next time.

With the car only 1 month old!!!! these issues should not happen unless I have intentionally abused the car which I never do, and I'm actually very **** about who touches my car and what is done to it.

 

but it would work!

 

Is it possible to replace that plastic piece where its hazed around the clock or does the whole section need to be replaced? I noticed the clear section around the shifter also gets easily scratched if not cared for correctly.

 

Yes I realized that also wish I put some film on the clear plastic near shifter

 

To the OP...

Addressing both issues at your dealership, will result in both parts being replaced via Factory Warranty...

Since they are simple minor cosmetic issues, I don't think its really a big deal at all.


^^ Almost invisible.. There is a usually a clear film on it from the factory... Sometimes you just have to PEEL it off...

Let your cleaning guys' insurance company pay for the damages.

 

Thanks for the clarification Joe Z, I'll see what happens once it goes in for service

 

Some cosmetics happen I had my new isf washed at Lexus was in a rush and forgot to tell them no wash.
Picked it up and rushed to work and got out a nice Scratch on the rear bumper!
I never brought it up since I left the dealer ship with out showing them they would try saying it was there.
