Car Detailing for Lexus NX

Detailing your Lexus NX

The NX is the compact Lexus on every third driveway in Markham, usually leased and usually driven through the winter on brush washes that leave swirls. We correct the soft clear coat lightly, seal it and clean the wheel barrels and sills that get looked at on return. The cream NuLuxe gets foamed and brushed, the piano-black console and big touchscreen get a soft cloth, and the plug-in charge port is cleaned by hand.

What we watch for on a NX

• This is the Lexus we see most in the GTA and most are leased, so we concentrate on wheel rash, sill scuffs, rear carpet salt and the glossy trim inspectors notice
• Piano-black console trim and the large touchscreen show fingerprints and fine scratches; a plush microfibre and a screen-safe cleaner only
• Rich Cream and Hazel NuLuxe show denim dye and juice stains; a foaming cleaner and a soft brush restore the colour
• Plug-in NX 450h+ cars have a charge port on the rear fender that collects salt spray; we clean the flap with a brush and damp cloth
• The soft Lexus clear coat shows brush-wash swirls on Caviar and Cloudburst Grey; a fine polish and a sealant restore the depth

Compact SUVs: cargo areas that do everything

Compact crossovers are family cars, gear haulers and dog taxis in one. The cargo floor, the rear seatbacks and the door sills collect the most dirt, while taller bodies catch more road spray along the sides.
