2011 Caddy DTS tinted clear gets Kenzo'd

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Well now that I am officially a authorized IGL Kenzo Installer I was able to upgrade a client who was originally going to do one of my mid grade coatings.

This 2011 DTS came in a little rough but in very good condition with only 35k miles. One cool thing about this color is that it has factory tinted clear coat.

Thanks guys! Yeah this color combo is a little on the rare side from what I've been told. It's very eye catching outside.

Very nice job , car looks better than new .
I had a 2010 Cadillac SRX that was painted this color , Crystal Red Tintcoat , It was actually an option for that year .
It was a great color to take care of , in the sun the metallic really stood out and had kind of an orange hue to it and on cloudy days looked almost Candy Apple Red .
All I ever used was products from Meguiar's and the Ultimate Wax and detail sprays darkened the color .
Even the lines you got on the carpet n mats were super straight . Awesome

2011 Cadillac w/30,000 miles and it was that crudy? Wow. I guess the weather out there had alot to do with it but still...

What's your method for final wipedown on the center console and the rest of inteior surfaces? Looks great.

Did you get that residue from the 205 or the compound? Or both?

LATA is a great product. Bought a case of it for 12 bucks. What are your dilution rations for the different spots

On the wood trim areas and dash I used stoners trim shine. Works great. I just knock down the shine with a microfiber towel after applying.

Both but seeing as my cutting pad is black it doesn't show up. So that picture was with 205 and a white Rupes pad.

I only dilute it 50/50 for engine bay, tires, wells and initial door jamb cleaning.
