Hello Lexus Family!

Been out for a while but I am back in the US. Hopefully last overseas assignment.

Just wanted to drop a line as I will soon be looking for help on this site on restoring an SC 430.

My last SC was an SC 400 several Lexus over the year but this new to me SC is one car I always wanted

It needs some help as it looks as the previous owners just drove the car and serviced it but never detailed it


cant wait

Hopefully this week I shall have my 02 SC430 Indigo ink pearl

 

Congrats and good luck.

 

welcome back and get your tools ready.

 

here is an update, just finish 1st stage paint correction and replace the wheels and tires.

 

looks good.

 

Sad update after careful consideration and further inspecting the car I will be trading it in and moving to a new car. The used car market is crazy.... The car is mechanically sound just fond some issues I cant live with....

So, moving again to a new IS this time I am done with the used car market BS....

 

What issues are you dealing with?

 

Playing dumb guy here, what is a "paint correction"?

 

Paint correction is a process that removes impurities, scratches etc usually by using special polishing compounds, buffers to bring back the original paints surface. Depending on the condition of the paint, the process can be as long as eight M/H plus material. $1,500.00 isn't unheard of here in SoCal. This process is normally done with paint that is going to be coated with ceramic coatings and wraps. Its the only true way to restore paint.
