Hello, all. This is my first post as a member of the AutoGeek forum.
My question today is one related to my personal motor. As you can probably already tell by my username, I have a sliver 2000 Toyota Celica GT. I bought the car in February as the opportunity was right. It belonged to a middle aged woman who kept it under a carport and only drove it a few miles from her home (it has 44,889 miles currently). She also kept all records of oil changes, maintenance, etc.
I've been using the Surf City Garage system on it which, is a paint sealant, carnuba, and a glaze. It has a nice shine to it, however, I just think it could have a more brilliant appearance - maybe more depth in the paint. I've come to AutoGeek to research possible products that could give me the desired shine. I've purchased the Wolfgang leather interior kit for use on my mother's 2007 Toyota Solara convertible, which is a great product line. I've been considering wax from the Dodo line, formulated for light colored vehicles. Has anybody used this or have the same dilemma I have?
Also, being an 11 year old car, could it be that the age of the paint has a factor? It's a very nice vehicle and I can tell you, I wouldn't have bought it if the paint were not in very good condition.
Thank you in advance for any and all feedback.
