    Right had this lexus with me for the last few days, didn't plan a writeup but it's pretty extreme. Lexus black paint is normally soft and this had seen a fair bit of paint over the years, so a sensible correction was chosen.

    So onto the correction, this was the first step and due to the soft nature a further refinement stage was needed:

    Then refined with the following combination:

    Panel wiped and onto the coating:

    It wasn't fully finished at this point but with the rain spitting I took my chance and rolled it out for some nearly finished pictures:
