    Cadillac CTS

    Garage queen CTS, in for her First Real cleaning. Owner usually goes to a gas station drive through... Signs of damage are apparent.
    Overall the car was in great shape, minus the wheels which were in really bad shape. I am surprised that only the calipers showed signs of permanent damage.
    Exterior:
    Wash & wax + quick interior—Leather w/conditioner.
    Wheels cleaned with Poorboy’s Spray & Rinse w/a touch of CarPro Trix mixed in.
    Paint foamed and 2 bucket wash with Chemical Guy’s Citrus wash & gloss. Used in LSP striping dilution.
    Glossworkz glaze applied via G110v2 on crimson hydrotec pad.
    LSP: Wolfgang Fuzion.
    Tight areas got Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal.
    Interior:
    Leather cleaned with Chemical Guy’s Leather cleaner.
    All other areas cleaned with BlackFire interior cleaner.
    A few scuffs required Meguiar’s APC 20:1.
    Glass Cleaned with Poorboy’s World Glass cleaner.
    Leather conditioned with Wolfgang Leather conditioner.
    Others:
    Door jambs cleaned & protected with Ultima waterless wash w/2oz added of Wolfgang Spritz sealant.
    Closure seals treated with 303 Aerospace, to rejuvenate rubber.
    Kick panels, door sills, along with the wiper cowl, also had 303 aerospace applied.
    Wheel wells dressed with Meguiar’s Silicone free dressing.







    Dull.


    Swirls.


    Odd Grime pattern.


    More swirls.


    Yes, even the tails.


    Another painful look.


    After one shot with Poorboy's Spray & rinse w/a little Trix mixed in. Two more cleanings to come.


    Chemical Guy's Glossworkz.


    That's better.

    Barrels no longer Jet Black!


    Mean green?

    Love the color. Never really like the interiors on the older Caddys... But great job on the makeover!
