Answers: How do you detail, paint correct, and restore a neglected used car at home?

• car detailing
• paint correction
• spray painting faded car trim
• interior carpet and seat cleaning
• headlight restoration
• wheel cleaning and stain removal
• ceramic coating application

What it concludes

• Setting a minimum price filter of $250 on AutoTempest weeds out trade-in listings and people parting out cars.
• A $1,200 maximum price filter usually yields cars under $1,000 that can be negotiated down.
• Using a kitchen sponge wrapped around sandpaper distributes the sanding load evenly and prevents hot spots.
• Ceramic coating works exceptionally well on plastic trim and door handles, making them dark and deep for a long time.
