A few weeks ago we picked this car up from a local dealership. It is a 07 Camry SE w/ 28000 miles. It is a one owner car, and all signs show that every panel is still wearing factory paint. Overall the car was in great shape, but had some chips that needed touched up, and since it was on a car lot it had a nice amount of swirls, and compound in every crack and crevice.
I did not mess with any before pictures because I was crunched for time, and when I started I did not have any sunlight.
Here was the process.
-Wash with wolfgang car wash (love the smell) (3 bucket method, one for tires)- Blot dried w/ waffle weave microfiber
-DP wheel gel cleaner on tires/ wheels/ and wheel wells
-Clay with zaino clay and wolfgang lube
-Then I went over each panel once with a white sonus pad and menzerna P106FA (this removed 85 or so percent of the defects, and being crunched for time I called this good)
-Wiped down car with a mixture of alcohol and distilled water.
-Washed car again with wolfgang car wash - Blot dried w/ waffle weave microfiber
-Wiped car down with wolfgang quick detailer
-Applied wolfgang 3.0 sealant
-Used pinnacle plastic and rubber protectant on all exterior black plastics and trim (really deepened the color of these)
-Dressed tires with wolfgang tire shine
-Looked at car for awhile while the sealant was curing.
-Wiped off sealant about 45 min later, and was amazed.
-Took all these nice pictures.
For a sealant, the depth and wetness are incredible.
And some whole car shots.
I am very happy with the results, and the products listed. I have fallen in love with the paint on this car, and cannot wait to do it all again so I can achieve 100% correction.
