I just bought a 98 Corolla. I was wodnering if anyone knows of anything I can do to sort of freshen it up. You know, like remove/hide some of the scratches and chips, or clean up the inside a little. Preferably things I can do myself for not a lot of money. Thanks.

DO WHAT YOU JUST SAID : remove/hide some of the scratches and chips, clean up the inside a little

Wash it an put a good coat of wax on it. Frebreeze the inside and go to the car wash and use the high powered vacs.

Dont try to hide bad spots - you will only make it look like it has measels. Just clean it out and be honest.

Well do u want it to look nice or run nice 1st off. looks tint the windows buy drop coil springs off ebay for like 20 bucks then look for ground effect kits maybe 150 and rims always sets a ride off if u wanna go in side buy a nice head unit stereo and a coo pair of subs bufff out the car with a mothers wax will do alot to the apperince right away

the easiest and best way would be to spend the $ and take it to a detail shop.They know what to use to make it look its best.As far as with the paint chips you either repaint,,or go to your local parts store that has an automotive paint department,they can get your paint code and will sell you a bottle of touch up paint.just remember ,,DO NOT leave the touch up paint in your car ,when the temp goes up the bottle will break and then you will have a kewl paint stain and a smell to go with it
