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.
