Car Detailing for Lexus UX

Detailing your Lexus UX

The UX is a small Lexus that lives in downtown condo garages and does short hybrid commutes where the salt never dries off the lower body. We decontaminate the cladding and the rockers, restore the faded plastic and seal the paint. Inside, the paper-textured dash stays matte with a damp cloth and no dressing, the piano-black console gets a soft microfibre and the thin cargo carpet gets an extraction so it does not smell musty.

What we watch for on a UX

• The washi-textured dash panel is designed to look like Japanese paper and should not get a glossy dressing; a damp microfibre and a dry buff keep the texture
• The cargo area is small with a thin carpet, so salt and slush from bags soak in fast; an extraction keeps it dry and fresh
• The piano-black console and the touchpad surround scratch easily; we clean them with a plush microfibre and no abrasive cleaner
• Black cladding around the wheel arches fades grey and holds salt film; a trim restorer brings it back for months
• The low roof and short body mean the rear seat is tight to reach, so a narrow nozzle and a crevice tool are needed for the rear footwells

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.
