I was hoping somebody would know exactly what the story was with black lexus paint. Just the other day I did a black 330 and a moderate amount of black came off on my pads. the car was less than 2 years old, and I thought I was sure it was clear coated. So is the factory clear have color in it, or what? Actually, this is the second newer black lexus I've detailed recently where black had drawn into my pads. And yesterday I did a black toyota highlander...same thing - a small/med amount of black came off on my pads (except for the panels that had been repaintend). I think the Highlander was an '02 or '03.



My buddy owns a body shop - I think I'll ask him tomorrow.
 
I hear conflicting stories, seems to me though, that either the clear is tinted black or their is no seperate clear coat (integrated clear).

There was a long post over at Club Lexus awhile ago that tried to get to the bottom of this. I *think* they determined that all black '02 and before was single stage and some models even after '02 were. I know every black IS300 I've worked on has been.
