Cadillac CTS-V with some custom stuff around it

Client wanted 3 step paint correction and full interior clean-up

Process took around 25-30 hours in 6 day process (mainly after college plus the weather was really cold and snowing)


Process:
M105 and yellow pad and some places purple pad with rotary
M205 on yellow pad with DA
NXT 2.0 wax on black pad (DA)
HD 4:1 on engine
Interior detailer on dashboard
NXT Glass cleaner on windows

Washed it, claybarred and then took some pictures.

Id drive the **** outta that thing.


NICE JOB!

Me too. It has different blower, headers, full exhaust, tuned at 8 psi, making 502hp to the wheels. The clutch is soo sensitive (light flywheel) never driven on one till now.

Haha, I wish :) lol

Yeah, it was pretty cold and it was minus 5C or 25F at some point where I had to heat up my garage pretty good, because working time of the polishing compound was really really short at cold temperatures.

Smooth like a babys butt good job

Lol, thanks.

Woah how much did it cost you to do all that ?? and how much did you charge him ? I wanna detail my car =X DIY perhapse ? lol

Well, I gave him a discount because he brought me some of his friends cars, but the 3-step package starts at $265, but that was for this year, for next year I am planning to raise prices just a bit, maybe, we'll see.

If you look at my other detail threads, you will find a lot of info (or even search here on forums) you will see I posted lots of info and suggestions. Good luck :)
