    A first for me. 2018 Cadillac Hearse!!! Corrected and coated!

    So over the summer I had completed 2 vehicles for this client. A Mustang and a Dodge Ram Power Wagon. When he picked up the Ram he had mentioned that he and his brothers owned a funeral home and had a 2018 Caddy Hearse that they had got earlier in the year but was in need of some correction and a coating being black. He offered up his nice heated garage and a date was set on the schedule.

    I had 2 days to get this done as it can't be down for much more than that. Luckily he already had it washed so prep work wasn't needed really.

    Prep/decon

    Quick waterless wash with AMMO FROTHe and light clay with nanoskin fine towel.


    Correction- Now for the fun part. To say this paint was hammered was a under statement and to top it off it mainly rock hard but in some areas kind of soft. Most of the vehicle got a heavy cut with M100, Rupes 21 Mark ll and a twisted black wool pad. Some areas only needed microfiber and M100. The adams swirl killer mini and Rupes ibrid were also used.

    Finish polishing- Again most of the vehicle responded with 3D ONE and Rupes yellow pad with the Mark ll. Some areas needed Hyper Polish and Rupes yellow.

    Wheels/Tires- Wiped down with AMMO Frothe and dressed with hyper dressing

    LSP- IGL Quartz+

    Wow. A lot of work went into that but the look of that black paint was worth it. That vehicle is a great way to go out in style.

    Wow that paint was dead and you brought it back to life.

    And yes that was a bad joke.
