The following precautions can extend the
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-

Clean the windows with a soft, damp
cloth as soon as possible.

When the water-repellent performance
has become insufficient, the coating can
be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.

Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as
follows:

Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral
detergent and water to clean the dirt off.

Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture.
●
To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet
wipes or a similar product.
