We bought this car back in January. It was a Cadillac dealer demo, & had obviously been through their "scratch machine" car wash. (It won't while I own it!) After decontamination I 2-stepped it with Menzerna SHC 400 & SF4500. Knowing that Menzerna polishes are very oily, I decided to do a double wipe down with Gtechniq's Panel Wipe. This was my 1st experience with CSL, & I have to say everything I heard about how easy it is to use was right. I broke the individual panels down into sections, & it was simple wipe on, wipe off. It left an extremely smooth, slick, & glassy finish. And I've got a little more than half a bottle left!

Thanx guys! We really like the car (It's the wife's, I'm a devout Ford guy!) although the auto stop/start is kind of annoying. The engine automatically shuts off when you come to a stop, & re-starts when your foot comes off the brake. It's ok at a light where you're stopped for bit, but it's annoying when you stop at a sign & it shuts off & immediately re-starts.
