How to Make Your Lexus Look and Feel New Again 

Buying a pre-owned car can be a great way to upgrade to a better model without the expense of buying a new one. But if you crave that ‘new car’ feeling, how can you make your pre-owned Lexus look and feel showroom fresh again? At Al-Futtaim Lexus, we have a full team of experts offering a range of aftersales services that will keep your Lexus performing at its best and looking amazing too. Here are our top tips to keep your pre-owned Lexus looking amazing and running smoothly.

1. Regular detailing and polishing

A full car detailing and polishing can transform your tired-looking Lexus and bring it back to life. The interior is cleaned using specialist products, removing any stains from the upholstery and freshening up the entire cabin. Outside, top-to-bottom cleaning removes dirt from the paintwork, revealing its true colour and shine, which is locked in with a complete wax and polish. Have this process done every six to 12 months (or if you’re planning to sell your car in the UAE, just before you put it on the market) and your car will look its best and be protected against deterioration.

Please note that exterior polish is not applicable for cars with Paint Protection Coating or Film, as it may void the warranty.

2. Keep up to date with your services

While the aesthetics may be important to make your Lexus look new again, it’s what’s under the bonnet that really matters when it comes to performance. At Al-Futtaim Lexus, we offer both new and pre-owned service packages that make staying up-to-date with your services easier and more cost-effective. Interim, minor and major services are all important, not only to ensure your Lexus is running at its best, but also to provide a full service history when you come to sell your car.

Lexus dealerships are linked to a network that gives technicians instant access to all of your car’s history and details, no matter where you have your car serviced. With new Lexus service packages, you can even transfer the package when you sell your car, making it even more attractive to potential buyers.

3. Clean out your engine with an engine flush

The more kilometres you drive, the greater the amount of carbon build-up in your engine. This is why your engine oil looks black when you change it. An engine flush can help to thoroughly clean and remove that excess carbon by adding a special additive to your engine and then carrying out a full oil change.

4. Protect your paint

Adding a layer ofPaint Protection Film to your Lexus can help prevent minor scratches, UV exposure and constant exposure to pollutants from tarnishing your paintwork. PPF can be applied to some or all of your bodywork, depending on how much protection you want. You can also protect your paintwork with a Paint Protection Coating, which adds a transparent layer to the surface of your paint, sealing in the shine and protecting your car from harmful pollutants. The high-gloss finish gives your car a showroom look, ideal if you’re planning on selling your Lexus in the UAE.

5. SMART Repairs

A minor bump or dent can be flawlessly repaired without resorting to a respray or filler using SMART Repair technology. SMART stands for Small to Medium Area fast Repair Technology and can eliminate cosmetic damage without the need for an entire panel to be repainted.

6. Fresher air for a fresher feel

Air conditioning is essential in our hot climate. But if that cool, fresh breeze is not quite as cool as it was, or is starting to smell musty, it could be time for an AC refreshment and AC gas top-up.

All of these processes can help to keep your Lexus looking and feeling like new. You can book any of these aftersales services, and more, online at Al-Futtaim Lexus, or contact us for more information.
