So, this is my second celica. The previous owner did not take care of it, at all. The paint is faded, oxidized, stained-like.. completely messed up. Waxing doesn't help. I don't know, I did a search. Wasn't too much to work with. Clay bar? Wet sanding? Give me an idea. I do not have enough money to get it repainted.
I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. It's depressing.      Any tips would be appreciated.

For all the chips in the nose, check out touchup123.com. The vette' guys turned me on to this and I've seen results that show it works really well.
The oxidation..........that looks pretty bad. It's most likely going to need a good sanding and repaint. --------------------  |
