Default just came back from the carwash...

it's a 91 accord.

i believe the clear is fading/ or nearly completely gone. i have a bunch of hairline fractures in the paint and since i'm an avid diy'er there are some stubborn greasy marks on the fenders, hood, trunk, and near the door handles. what's a good way to get rid of the grease.

first and foremost, i know i need a paint job, but i just want to know if there's a way to get the car looking decent in its current state. any tips?

try clay bar first and see how that does since you have to do that if your gonna buff anyway. You might be surprised at how much gets cleaned up
