I'm super picky about detailing so I usually get my car sent to get PPF'ed (in a place I vetted and trust) upon delivery.

I told them it was a deal breaker.

This reminds me of the old polyglycoat crap (based out of Boca Raton Fl) many new car dealers used to use as an add on until they had their asses sued as it was essentially nothing more than a glorified wax . Btw, I’m in Fl so SE Toyota distributors gets their hands on every new vehicle that enters their region and they are notorious for add on crap like the infamous gold emblem packages they were also sued for forcing their dealers to install. I never thought Lexus would be affected by this.

The only thing they install are OEM port installed options, unlike in Toyota land where they have their own region specific options and accessories. SET processes the vehicles but other than that they don't really interfere in the Lexus operations. So much so that SET uses their in house trucking company for Toyota's, but all Lexus' are transported via a third party called Centurion. This option is being pushed by the dealer, not the distributor. Which dealer are you dealing with?

Still hoping this works out well but I'm now not so sure...what a poor way to do business.
