I've owned my LX570 for a few years now and I've always tried to be careful with washing, but somehow the paint has accumulated so many fine swirl marks that it looks dull in direct sunlight. I think the previous owner probably took it through automatic car washes regularly, and I've just been living with the damage without ever getting it properly corrected. Now that I've decided to keep this car long-term, I really want to get the paint back to that deep glossy finish Lexus is known for. The problem is I'm terrified of handing it over to the wrong detailer because I've heard horror stories about people ending up with holograms and even thinner clear coat from aggressive polishing. I've been searching for luxury Lexus auto detailing specialists in Abu Dhabi because I figure someone who specializes in these cars will know how soft or hard the paint is and what approach to take. I came across Exotic Car Care and they seem to have a dedicated section for Lexus which gives me some confidence. I'm thinking of doing a full paint correction and then a ceramic coating to keep it protected. Has anyone here had their LX or Land Cruiser detailed by them and can speak to the quality of the work? I'm especially interested in how they handle the larger panels and if they're careful around the edges where clear coat is thinner. Any before and after photos or experiences would be really helpful before I make the drive down.
