2005 Cadillac STS Black

[Goonie75]

Hi everyone. Had a moment between clients at my regular job so thought I'd post a bit. Aunts car. Asked if we would do what we could while they were on vacation. Wow. Total mess.

Wash
Mr. Pink in a Torq Foam Cannon
Meguiars Hyper Wash
Clayed with Mother's synthetic clay and a fresh bucket of Hyper Wash

Tires and Wheels
Washed with LATA and GG Rubber Cleaner
Dressed with GG Black Shine Tire and Trim Coating

Correction (believe it or not)
GG 6 and Menzerna HC 400 with Orange Thin Pros and Orange Buff & Shine (not kidding. Finished out pretty darn good)
Topped with 2 coats of Dodo Juice Purple Haze

Paint numbers were all over the place with 1 panel having no clear left. It just got a CG polish which also did ok.

Engine was cleaned and topped with CG Silk Shine.

Thanks for looking and any feedback is welcome.

Have a great day.

Great work, and yeah, MASSIVE recovery! The black GM cars of that era seemed to have really hard paint!

Looks great. Hope your Aunt loves the new looking Caddy!

Thanks B5visser. I was totally shocked... she confirmed that some work had been done so maybe that helped.
