Don`t know much about it... depends on what you already have or don`t have. If your starting from scratch, the guy at AutoZone said good things about pinnacle. Then again, he works at AutoZone so I`d be more inclined to hear other`s thoughts :)

This is the kit you need for a wet / shine look. If the paint is in bad shape you might want to add a additional step of polish to start with. Menzerna Final Polish or if need something even more Menzerna Intensive Polish. Menzerna, Germany`s Best Polishes (http://www.properautocare.com/mengerbespol.html)

The dark gray on Lexus IS300`s is Graphite Gray Pearl or GGP for short. I would clay, polish with M80, then top with M21. If you don`t have a PC then get one. Polishing swirls out by hand isn`t impossible but it`s close.
edit: realized that your post said it will be a new paint job. In that case it really depends on what condition your paint is in when your shop hands the car over. Don`t touch the finish for at least 30 days. There are some body shop safe products out there but the paint needs to cure for at least 30 days.
