This camry was a headache especially when it came to the buffing. I talked a little about it in the "sticky paint thread." It was a lot of trial and error i guess you could say but finally got it worked out. They have a Tahoe and a F-250 next and the Tahoe had the sunroof open for weeks in April and got rained in plus whatever else so gonna have to check it out before i commit to anything lol. Overall i am pleased with the outcome and it was a good learning experience. Sorry I cant figure out how to get the pics bigger.

Great job!
HUGE improvement shown in those side by side shots.:xyxthumbs:
 
Nice job, that car was Hammered, did they ever wash or do any cleaning to this car ?!??. You sure salvaged the car putting it back to near new shape. Thanks for sharing

Good job there---I like your side by side shots. I need to do better with my photo documentation.

What did you do to resolve the sticky paint issue on this project?

I dont think so the paint was horrible for a 2010 not to mention the inside but its people like this is why we have cars to clean. Sometimes i wish i got some easy ones though lol

I used Mckees 37 APC one leather diluted 8 to 1 with the little yellow mouse looking brush lol and also used my vapamore mr100 steamer on the heavily soiled parts of the carpet along with Mckees 37 APC. Then presoaked with folex and extracted with bissell little green proheat. I protected everything with Mckees 37 interior surface protectant.
 
Yep, that single stage white Toyota paint is some tough stuff. Once they start getting oxidized they look horrible. I use a rotary and wool as a first step on the paint. Makes it a piece of cake. It turned out great!! If you didn't use a rotary with wool I know how hard you worked. Great job!!
