Low resolution image pixelated

I have an advertisement jpg image sent to me by a client that is clearly low resolution (almost like they copied it down from the internet). I have been asked to take out some of the text and a logo on the image but can't figure out if there is a way to make the image sharper so I can do an image trace and remove certain parts of the ad. I can't simply highlight any of the text because they are not clear letters. I do have Enable Preserve Details 2.0 checked in preferences. I have watched a ton of youtube videos on this subject over the past few days and am stuck.

I am using Photoshop 2020 v21.1.2 on a PC. I also have Illustrator 2020 v24.1.2.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

»I do have Enable Preserve Details 2.0 checked in preferences.«

What do you mean exactly?`

And asking for advice about editing specific images but not showing them is often pretty close to pointless …

I'm sorry. I can't show the image because it's a clients advertisement and hasn't been released yet.

See the image I've attached and image that I need to remove the Hyundai logo and the wording but it's a low resolution photo and very pixelated. Is there way to clean the image up?

That image is pretty bad.

If your client’s file is actually their own material they should provide the original, open and un-jpg-ed data.

To alleviate the color artefacts it can be useful to use a blurred version set to Blend Mode »Color« above the image upsampled with »Preserve Details …«.
