My Lexus IS250 Build Thread

by dougie175, 13-03-2024, 04:29 PM

Only just found the forum so will copy and paste most of my posts from another forum, so if something doesn't make sense please bare with me.

I will split it up into several posts as there has been quite a bit of progress and a lot of photos

How my car started the day, hadn't been washed for 2 weeks any good build thread needs a clean car to start with!





So I gave her a full wash and vac then got some masking paper out and gave her a complete machine polish top to bottom

Half way through



All de-hologramed and ready for paint treatment



This is a bottle of stuff that 1 of the valeters at work gave me he said its amazing, so stuck some of this one next as the paint was as clean and free for dirt as it had been since the day it left the showroom so seemed the ideal time to add some extra protection





Once that was removed it was a final coat of HD Wax and complete clean off, paintwork protected and looking great again, took about 6 hours to get the paintwork back up to scratch but worth every second really happy with it.

I forgot how much like hard work polishing cars with wax on and off is, I spend my life at a computer now body wasn't used to a bit of actual work









Next up was to give the interior a valet to match the following weekend

Under bonnet cleaned and made shiny, not much to see other than lots of plastic covers, there is a V6 under there somewhere I'm sure



After that it was time to, clean and re-dress all the leather, dress all the plastic, clean all the glass, then vacuum and clean everywhere, feels like brand new when I get in it now, there's nothing better than that freshly dressed and valeted smell either.

Newbie found you guys @ Japfest

Had my IS250 F-sport for about 6 months now and had been posting on a Lexus forum, but its very quiet and most of the members are not into tinkering so thought I would join up here and find a few like minded people.

Noticed a couple of modified IS's so thought there might be a few ideas on here

Last October I purchased myself an IS250 F-Sport, it was a massive investment for myself and bit of a dream car.

Loving owning it and its a pleasure to drive, however the urge to start to tinker with it is becoming too strong. I am a qualified Sprayer and now work as a qualified Vehicle Damage Assessor so tinkering and fiddling with my car is in nature and cant help myself

For anyone who I interested here are a few photos of the car before I touched it back in March











Will start a build thread and post to keep you up to date with progress
