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. frown.gif

if you wanna bring some shine back..but not to much work and not to much effort...a good rubbing compound. It will bring some of the colour back..but not fix it totaly. I had some dumba$$ rub his bumper against the side of my car at a drive in just after i got it..and my paint looked like that. So, i used some of that..and it came out pretty decent. Just dont use too much.
