2009 Cadillac CTS-V Black Beast

[02accordSE]

Friend of mine has had this car for about 5-6 months now. I did a correction detail on it the weekend after he bought it because he bought it before the dealer even vacuumed it out. This vehicle was owned by an owner of a local Cadillac Dealership. Not too bad of shape. Swirls weren't too bad to start with, so I corrected it to 90% and went on my way. He was in no way looking for perfection. I've detailed it twice since the original correction and this is the way it has been every time. He doesn't wash it in between details. I probably detail it (wash, wax, vacuum, etc.) every 6 weeks. So it's kind of depressing to see all my hard work not even getting a washing every so often. But it's probably for the best, it would probably have swirls galore if it was washed by him regularly... So on to the pictures.

Before:
These are not the 20" graphite accessory wheels either...

Cleaned up his parents Camry while I was at it too.. And of course the detailing machine, the 99 Lexus...

Huge difference after just the wash. Car looks really good. It's a shame he doesn't have you do bi-weekly maintenance washes on it. It would make a world of difference.

Great results on that beast buddy .

Nice work, the reflection pictures are great!

Thanks guys.
He's, unfortunately, a little cheap and thinks bi weekly washes are a waste when I can do it all at one every 6 weeks. But hey, whatever floats your boat...

Those wheels remind me of an Audi A4 I did a few weeks ago. Owner just bought the car and thought his exhaust tips were matte black but to his surprise, they were beautiful stainless when I was finished haha
