You're probably right. My last car had a large ding in the rear passenger door for 3 years. I thought I'd get it fixed when something more worthy happened to the car. It never did, so I had to get it fixed to sell it when I got the new IS. Oh well.

Yeah, didn't we already know that..... :P

Which model are they off?

I'm happy to use elbow grease a few times a year. But would be nice if it was easy and safe, to the finish, to use some extra help. The US sites rave about the random orbit polishing machines, and appropriate boots etc. It seems the machines in US are about $US200 a pop (see meguiars and autopia-carcare). So I'm not in a hurry to import one of these, and I figured the $40 jobbies from Supercheap are unlikely to be built for performance. I'll just stick to hand claying and then hand polishing with the Meguiars NXT tech wax.

Hi folks Had my IS250 for about 3 weeks now. To ensure I keep the paintwork at it's best I'm looking at getting a machine to help with otherwise gruelling task of applying and removing buffing and polishing compounds. They rave about a "PC" machine in the US forums, but appears to be unavailable here. What are you guys using? and where do you then get the appropriate boots/bonnets to get the job done? Thanks

Has anyone had problems with metallic tints on an IS250. I have been told by the dealer not to use metallic as it upsets the sat nav, but the sat nav receiver is in the dashboard so shouldn't be affected. I don't mind losing some AM radio reception due to the tint. Thanks
