So Gregk24 kinda inspired me to get off my lazy behind and clean up the Camry. It hasn't been shown serious love in quite some time.
Dirty...
So just a good scrubbing made it look halfway decent.
But we can't stop there. Needed to clay the entire car to remove any contaminates from the paint. I was really surprised at the lack of them; the car hasn't been decontaminated since we bought it May 2015. This was the hood.
I was prepared to do a polishing step, but with proper washing over the past 2 years, I was able to skip it!
Tires were dressed while I was letting the sealant cure. Always have washed the inner barrels so they always have come clean with ease.
The engine needed some attention too. Before.
After:
End result after a coat of sealant and wax.
Products used:
Meguiars Hyper Wash
Poorboy's Bug Squash
XMT Speed Clay
Nanoskin Instant Detailer
Poorboy's EX Sealant
Poorboy's Liquid Natty's Blue Wax
Meguiars All Season Dressing
GTI did get some love too...
