Car Forum / Lexus Cars / September 2007Wax for new ES350
I have a simple question (simple mind?). We just bought a ES350 about a month ago. It is a beautiful shiny Ruby metallic color. The Avalon that we previously had was maintained with an (expensive) Toyota sealer. The manual supplied with the Lexus does not mention anything particular for waxing the car, and we haven't yet checked the Dealer parts department (40 miles from the house). Does anyone have any suggestions? Please don't say Simonize it! Graybeard > Does anyone have any suggestions? Please don't say Simonize it! Here you go: http://www.chathamjournal.com/weekly/living/autos/cr-rates-car-waxes-60626.shtml Thanks Travis. Exactly what I was looking for. I just bought the new ES350 and the Ruby Metallic finish is so shiny that I have been afraid of dulling it. So far, I have even been washing it by hand. Graybeard >> Does anyone have any suggestions?

I finally took the advice of Consumer Reports years ago when they rated NuFinish highest. I still use that, once in a while I'll try something different but always go back to NuFinish. Hard to believe something you can find in a local drug store, market, etc. works so well, but it does. BTW, I've seen that Lexus red, it's gorgeous. Alan Now is a good time to wax your new car. I use "Blitz Wax" by One Grand. Here is a link to a site that provides great tips on how to care for your new car. You can also order a variety of car care products from the site as well: http://www.carcareonline.com/ Enjoy your new ES!

I've used the Armor All Ultra Shine: http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=20&main_group=4&cat egory_index=new But in my view the good old Turtle Wax Zip-Wax is great. And I don't need the excellent Meguiar's. But do check out their car care videos. http://www.meguiars.com/about/ > > Won't the stealership wax it when they wash it at service time if it > > needs to be waxed?
