extremely weathered, use a car −cleaning polish, followed by
a separate wax. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the
chrome trim as well as the paint.

remains on the surface in large patches.

blocked, contact your Lexus dealer to have the vehicle
serviced.
