Just want to say this is my first Thread started in Autopia.org. And I love you guys and the whole website. I didn`t know there was so many people who was obsessed about having a clean and protected car like i am. I also consider this one of the most friendliest forums i`ve ever been on. Most everyone is so helpful and there seems to be tons and tons of information. So once again, I love you guys and the knowledge you give to help me keep my cars in 100% excellent shape.
But here`s the question for any experienced autopian - My sister in law`s toyota corolla is really in bad shape and I don`t have a PC. I wish i had a camera so i could take a picture.
Bottom line is that it has never been waxed in it`s life. there`s oxidation in various places. But the scratches and swirls dominates the whole car. I`ve tried claybarring but it only made it smooth but still looks horrid.
Then i tried using color X to clean up the paint a bit. but still looks horrid.
Then i even tried NXT but it didn`t do anything.
Is there any which way I can try to polish it by hand?
Just a quick reply is good cause for now there doesn`t seem to be any hope without a PC. Also sorry for not having any pictures.
