i was wondering how most of you guys with white cars clean them and keep them looking good?
when i bought the car it had some grease marks, cant get them off. i washed and used turtle wax but not too much luck. little better but not gone. also i tried taking the factory stripes. they done come off, and when they do they leave marks. ![]() ![]() ![]() should i try clay and polish? ive NEVER used either so any tips? this is the plan i have in mind: wash usingthis kit pretty much This post has been edited by Malhar95: Nov 18, 2012 - 10:26 PM -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

![]() That stuff is my best friend when it comes to my white Celica. It gets rust out of the finish, grease, stains, leftover gunk and sticker residue... it's amazing. As always, go over the areas with wax afterwards. Turtle makes ****ty products that don't work. Just because they've been around for forever, it doesn't mean they actually do as advertised. Zymol is the best cleaner wax I've ever used, and Meguiars makes the best paint restoration system I've ever used. There are videos on youtube on how to use it, but what I've found is if you use a terry towel with plenty of pleats and fibers, it grips and polishes better. Then you go over it with a microfiber to finish it off. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.
