Detailing your MR2 Smokey Color?

91MR2Turbo · 04-30-2008, 12:52 AM

well about a week ago i lent my car to my dad so he can take it to his job..when he got back it was covered in dust and dirt

so i took my car for a power wash. it looked fresh after the wash but when i got home i noticed the paint looked like it was faded and the whole car had a smokey look to it..not only that, the power wash didnt even clean it all the way

the color didnt look the same. and now im pissed and dont know wat to do.

Any Advice???????????

Probably needs a good clay bar and a coat or two of wax.

yeah just give it a run with a clay bar and a nice wax job, and it should turn out fine

buffing if possible?

hand washing and drying it maybe? Lol also go ahead and clay bar and wax it. You can get a kit for like $18 at advanced and I think walmart sells them too.
