    CTSV Wagon!!!

    Soo have sooo much to say about this one. It was brought to me and it had been driven I tell ya. The customer wanted to have a ceramic coating applied. So, first step was to wash and decontaminate the paint and wheels. I spent about 2 hours on just the wheels alone. It was hard to tell if the iron remover was working on the paint, but I saw a lot of purple on the driveway! The paint was clayed as well. I had to get the clear even due to a few defects. After that was done, I polished the paint. The inside was cleaned and sealed. After that, I went back to the paint and applied the coating. This is a 3 year coating, so it should keep the paint looking right for a while! This car came out looking it’s best I tell ya. There is nothing cleaner that a black car when it’s flawless!!!!

    That wagon looks great! The high performance wagon segment is terribly under appreciated in the US. Those CTS-V Wagons will be classics like the the Chevy Nomad in a decade or two.

    Re: CTSV Wagon!!!

    Sure! It was a mixture actually. I started with a good decontamination process. After the wash, I sprayed it down with Ironx. Then, the entire car was clayed. After that, I went with Meguairs 105 to level things out. Then I went to Sonax polish. After the paint was completely clean and smooth, I wiped it down with some oil remover and then I applied some of McKee's coating. It was a full days process. But the ending result was perfect!!!
