What should I do to my 1994 Toyota Celica GT?

I have a 1994 toyota celica, I was wondering what I should do to make it look better. The paint looks dull doesnt really shine like a new car how can I fix that? Its silver btw. Also the rims are very dirty and i tried using rim cleaner and it does nothing. Interior also I want to make it look very flashy. Can I get prices too and if you think its even really worth it.



Thanks for the help.What should I do to my 1994 Toyota Celica GT?Celica's are highly sought after cars so keep it. A paint job can fix the exterior. while you can pay $300 for a MAACO cheap job, find a custom shop and pay $600 - it will be worth it. New rims can be pricey but may be the way to go if you want "flash". Steam cleaning or using a high pressure sprayer will get the dirt off. If they are painted, be careful as you can get too close and blast off the paint. Harder to spiff up the interior cheaply. Seat covers, of course. But if you have leather, use Armor All to make it shine. Just be sure it dries completely!What should I do to my 1994 Toyota Celica GT?Things get worn so much that no amt of cleaning will make them shine again. Paint and rims eventually just need replacing. Especially if they're 15 yrs old in the atmosphere of sunlight and the weather.



Getting new paint is cool, because you can choose any great color you want, especially the many neat "electric" colors. Should be my age when we onlyhad about dozen colors to chose from now, you've got about dozen HUNDRED colors to choose from!!

And rims are much better new anyway. Yeah, can cost, but they'll really make that new paint job really POP!!

And if inside is old, new upholstery would also add greatly to that new paint job.

Yes, Celicas are in demand, so spending couple thousand on car to look new would be good idea!!What should I do to my 1994 Toyota Celica GT?its hard to tell without a pic



but

Meguiars Smooth surface clay kit: 15 bucks

Meguiars ultimate compound: 8 bucks

Meguirs cleaner wax: free ( sample of it comes with clay kit

Pick up some microfiber appicators and towels: 5 bucks?



1. wash car

2. clay car, this removes stuff normal washing wont get off, pretty self explantitory, spray the clay lube, and rub the clay over the paint a little bit, wipe off, move onto next section

3. ultimate compound, its a paint cleaner, to remove oxidation, scratches, swirl marks, etc. apply with microfiber applicator, work in about a 16x16 in section, apply UC in the section for about 30-60 seconds, wipe off with MF towel, inspect, repeat if necessary, or move onto next section

4. Cleaner wax, its a paint cleaner (wayyyyy less aggressive than ultimate compound) polish and wax all in one, apply like a normal wax, just with a little more passion behind the pad



Interior: Meguiars natural shine or supreme shine protectant

can be used on dasbhoard, trim, tires, bumpers, etc..



and for the rims, you could probably also use the UC or CW on them to, do a test spot first, to make sure its compatibleWhat should I do to my 1994 Toyota Celica GT?
high speed buffer and cherry glaze should do it. use bleech white on wheels and let it soak
