I own a 2005 RX330. I understand that within the first year the dealer will change factory default settings free of cost if requested. My question is have you got any defaults changed? If so could you list them? As of now, I have this one in mind for my RX: * Unlock all doors by pressing the remote key only ONCE. Currently (default setting) I have to press it twice rapidly to unlock the doors

Thanks for all the suggestions. Want to report back that I took the car to the dealer. He used some kind of a rubbing compound/soap (don't know the name or brand) and the stain came off :)

Thanks. I don't know of any detailers in this area other than looking in the yellow pages. Would the local lexus dealer be able to direct me to a good one? Since I also want to get the sealant (exterior, interior), would you suggest I just go thru the dealer?

What is a turmeric stain? ← Turmeric is a yellow colored pigment that is used in cooking and also I believe in mustard. My understanding is, it is a dye. I read on the web that turmeric stains on carpets, clothes can be removed by an oxidizing agent but I don't know if the same will apply to car paint. An oxidizing agent can remove the paint also, right?

HELP!!! :cries: We just picked our 2005 RX330 yesterday. Color: Millenium Silver, light gray interior. To make a long story short (please don't ask what and how :( ), we now have a dark nickel/quarter size turmeric stain on the hood: turmeric+water mixed and touched on the hood. It was also put on the aluminium alloy wheels. We tried cleaning it with plain water but we still see light yellow color on the wheels and quarter size stain on the hood. We are planning to get the sealant & leather protectant for exterior and interior but the stains happened before we could do that :( Do you have any suggestions on how to get it out? I plan to take it to the dealer and show it to them. What are all the possible ways of getting it out, with the worst case being replacing the hood (is that an option, dollars aside)? I really appreciate your help at the earliest. Also, what kind of car care protection is good. I live in the bay area and plan to take it to one of the dealers to get this done.
