84 Cadillac with 13,000 miles

Yes, thats right, 13000 miles on this car. Unfortunatly, the few miles it had on it, someone had washed it with a brillo pad. The paint had swirls and rids ALL OVER IT. Got about 95% out, some were just to deep to chase. Spent a total of 28 hours on this mammoth. I think the hood has enough real estate to warrant its own area code!!

But enough chatter, on to the pics!!

Products Used:
Wash -
Foam gun with CGWC
2BM -w- gritguards
Uber Sponge x2
Swissvax detail brush

Wheels/Tires/Wheel wells -
P21s wheel gel
P21s TAW
Swissvax wheel brush
Mothers tire brush

Interior -
1Z Cockpit premium
CG Liquid Leather

Polish -
Menz power gloss
Menz SIP
Menz 106fa
CG metal polish

Hardware-
Flex 3401
PC 7424
LC yellow pad
Uber yellow pad
Uber green pad
Karcher Pressure washer
Ridgid 6hp vac

LSP-
CG EZ-Creme glaze
Pinnacle souveran x2



Amazingly enough, after washing, the clay hardly picked up ANYTHING on the whole car. This is WG poly clay, after the entire hood. All 500sq ft of it!!
:gasp:


After getting it under the lights.... this is what I was greeted with on the whole car.
Under flourescent

Under Halogen

Under halogen and camera flash


Here are a few obligatory 50/50 shots




Gotta love the mirror reflection shots. I usually send a couple of these to the customer via text message as a tease along the way.



Obligatory shot of LSP


Here are before and afters of the entire car.













Hope you enjoy. I am still not the most proficient on picture taking, so excuse the poor quality. If any questions, just ask. Thanks.

Wow, that paint was hammered. It looks absolutely stunning, now. Very nice job.
