Hi guys,
My grandmother had her 2005 Camry in a local body shop to have the front bumper refinished due to a collision with a dog. The car was in the shop for about 4 days in January. Since I only visit her about once a month, her car only gets cleaned about that often. When she got the Camry back from the shop, it had apparently not been washed, and it sat outside (as it always does) for about a month afterward. Prior to the body shop visit, I had thoroughly cleaned the surface, used a clay bar, waxed, and even threw on a coat of Turtle Wax's Wax-As-You-Dry (the surface was glass smooth). The Camry's surface (after washing) now feels like sandpaper, even though it still has a nice shine and beads water. I tried the clay bar and wax again (even some Meguiar's ScratchX), and nothing touched it - same feel.
What the heck happened and how do I fix it? I don't have a rotory buffer, nor am I familiar with polishing. Thanks for any input...
