Rasky's Auto Detailing: Black 2007 Cadillac DTS
2007 Cadillac DTS 48,XXX miles...my sisters car
She bought the car used so the neglect in the paint is not all from her. She only wanted the interior cleaned but since I had the car all weekend I thought I'd be a nice guy and 2-step the exterior...baaaad idea!
This car has had several panels repainted, and they did not appear to all be done to the same time, based on paint texture. She also has an unlimited wash package at a locus full service wash, which she uses at least once a week. She has never waxed the car before but after washing it there was evidence of some sort of protection....whatever it was it made buffing a PITA (some rainX crap she said the offer with the upgraded wash)! The car was also covered in fine black over spray, and the roof had some larger gray specs too.
Please keep in mind I was only getting paid to do the interior on this one so some of the extra things I do on a full detail may have been skipped
Process was as follows...
Wash - Megs Gold Class 2BM
Tires - ARO and Megs Hyper Dressing
Wheels - Separate wash mitt and bucket, Mothers chrome
Wheel wells - APC+ and Megs Hyper Dressing
Tar - Tarminator
Clay - Megs clay and Last Touch as lube followed by 2 IPA wipe downs
Correction - M105/Flex 3401/Orange LC Classic, followed by Menz 106ff,rotary,W9207 pad followed with another wash
LSP - Blackf1re Wet-Diamond x2
Carpets - LGM with Folex solution
Vinyl and dash - 1Z Premium Cockpit Cleaner
Leather - Zaino Z9/Z10
Glass - Megs D120
Jambs - Wiped with Last Touch
Before
new clay
after half hood!
Gray specs on roof were scraped off with plastic razor blade and then clayed
One of the repainted panels had a texture that did not match the rest of the car and looked pretty bad, I gave it a quick wet sand to better match the factory finish. Megs 1500 followed by 3000.
After sanding
Bad marring/cob webbing
50/50 after 1 pass of M105
After M105 and 106ff

LOL....I knew there would be a comment about the wheels!
FWIW, her b/f bought the wheels and while she likes the look of them, she wishes they were smaller...20's would have been better.

Thank you!
The white car in the garage is the 2nd of two '63 Austin Healey's I'm working on. The first one is done and I have a thread posted for the work on it if you wish to check it out.
The white one is actually going to be getting a full restoration. I should be starting on the body work with my old man when I get back from vacation on the 18th.
