What is this ‘clay bar’, that you and others speak of?…The weekend car gets an annual hand wash, clay bar,…
I only use hand wash and mine does this. I set the keys off to the side since this issue is not specific to the LC or Toyota/Lexus Brand and seems common with these new cars.Have any of you hand washers noticed that the LC locks the doors and folds the mirrors when the mirrors or doors come into contact with water? I have noticed it several times. Not sure if there is a setting that is causing this??
… my side mirrors have not folded in.Have any of you hand washers noticed that the LC locks the doors and folds the mirrors when the mirrors or doors come into contact with water? I have noticed it several times. Not sure if there is a setting that is causing this??

So maybe that’s a setting somewhere?
My doors do lock every time water hits door handle - but my 2019 LC did the same thing
It's because you have the fob in your pocket and run your hand (or sponge or whatever) over the spot that locks the doors. I usually leave the fob in the garage while I'm washing it.Have any of you hand washers noticed that the LC locks the doors and folds the mirrors when the mirrors or doors come into contact with water?

A clay bar is a lump of clay that is used before any type of protective coating is applied. It traps and removes any foreign particles etc.......... some people clay bar before each wax.What is this ‘clay bar’, that you and others speak of?…

If you ceramic coat it and use a garden blower such as the ego with a soft rubber tip it works great. Cut down my drying time significantlyHand wash and yes the vehicle takes forever to wash and dry. I never go through an automatic car wash it will put swirl marks in the paint.
But will u need to “polish” to get any scratches out ? I think when the dealership did a fast detail and dried it, there’s real light swirl/scratches on it in a few places - I’m thinking of ceramic coating myself and I was going to use clay bar- but I would need to polish also right?A clay bar is a lump of clay that is used before any type of protective coating is applied.

Correct, in order to remove swirls, you will need to polish them out.But will u need to “polish” to get any scratches out ?

I’ve never done any of this before
As others have already responded. Best way to describe it is it’s similar in malleability to the putty you would play with in arts and crafts but with a tackiness of sticky tack.What is this ‘clay bar’, that you and others speak of?…
