Lexus 2005 ls 430 80,000 miles and well maintained. $11,000

 

Very nice, good price too. I love the Lexus black paint, literally like a mirror if corrected

 

Congrats. It looks like you got a good one.

 

All I know is clay bar then wax. I am open for recommendations.

Thank you

Nice car. Good price too. I love my ls430

 

Congratulations! Nice find! Wish you many happy trouble-free miles! Car looks great!

 

It's a beauty! Enjoy and stay in touch-----

 

Nice catch. Looks like it's in super nice condition.

 

Awesome find!
Hopefully timing belt/water pump was completed in the recent past. If not get it done ASAP!

 

All dark colors pop after a paint correction. You have a good start as the car looks great. My recommendation is purchase a random orbital polisher, compounding pad, polishing pad, compound, polish, and synthetic paint sealer and microfiber towels. Best $350-400 I have ever spent as these old shoulders were complaining after every wax. I use Meguiars products but any quality products are good. Use autogeek for info on how to use. Clay, compound, polish and seal. You will be amazed how easy it is to make a car look fabulous. After the initial job you probably will not have to compound, just polish and seal every two years if the car is garaged.

 

I would change all the fluids if not done recently- Oil, transmission, brake, power steering, rear differential, antifreeze. This will give you a good baseline going forward. Brake pads, cabin filter, air filter should be checked. Hopefully timing belt has been done, if not that is a priority. Enjoy for many miles!

 

Use a decontamination spray, thoroughly wash it, clay it if needed, compound, polish, and then wax at least twice and you should be able to read a book in the reflection from 3 ft away.

 

Done.

Thank you.
