Well i picked this 04' camry up not realizing what i was getting myself into. the owner says she was a saturday morning washer whent the car was new, but got to busy with kids and work. she really neglected the car over the past year or so.

as you can see, the paint had little to no reflection or shine, even on the sides!

i started with MENZERNA on the hood, you can see under the windshield fluid sprayer where i haven't worked yet.

You can see here where i ran tape down the center of the trunk and polished to the right of it. pay attention to the shine where i have worked and where i accidentally went over the tape slightly.

I have to put some sunglasses on!



:LOLOL That reminds me of when my brother got his Challenger repainted white years ago when we lived in Arizona. I worked graveyard for Jack in the Box and had been asleep maybe 30 minutes when he woke me up to look at his newly painted white car in the full Arizona sun. I don't think sunglasses would have helped!



Wes-great job on that Camry, the paint was really dull. You really brought it back to life! :)
