192,000 Mile Toyota Camry Makeover!

This old Toyota Camry was picked up by its new owner in less than desirable condition, but for a 192k miles, it's not too bad. After a thorough wash and decon, the exterior received a two-step correction to clean up most of the swirls and haziness. The front bumper and hood were covered in rock chips and bug splatter that had etched into the paint, so I filled in what I could with touch-up paint and blended it in. The headlights were sanded with 600 grit, then 1000, followed by 2000 and 3000, and then compounded and polished out for a crystal clear view. After everything was said and done, the entire exterior was sealed up with Ceramic Pro Sport.

The seats were removed from the interior so that the carpet could be shampooed and extracted, but some stains still persist, especially the rear passenger side. I'm not sure what was spilled, but it left a permanent stain behind. The seats were the worst of the interior, having a nasty discoloration from dirt and body oils deposited over time, but were easily cut through with all purpose cleaner and steam. Once the interior was finished up, all panels and seats were dressed with CarPro Perl: a general purpose, water-based dressing, to add some moisture back into the leather and plastics while also adding a natural sheen to their surface.
