Cut And Polish On Is 300

[Headache]

Hi all.

I own A factory navy blue 2004 IS 300 and I am wondering if it would be alright to give it A cut and polish after A routine wash and wax? Sorry if this has been asked before but I don't know if it has metallic paint or not.

Oh and I might be back with A lowering and suspension question but I will do some searching on the forums first.

Thanks for the answers anyway

What's wrong with the paint for you to want to do that?

Blue should be code (8M6) Spectra Blue Mica, which is a metallic. Pretty uncommon colour for an IS300.

Dont cut the paint unless its badly weathered , and don't use a polisher unless you are well practised, or you could end up with a disaster. I use Auto Glym resin polish then coat with Auto Glym sealer .I have also seen a VW Scirocco which came to my work which was gleaming ,the guy said he used Turtle Wax Ice, but i dont know how long it will last before it needs to be re-applied, I reckon the longer it takes to apply, the longer the shine will last.
