Driven Auto Detail: 2004 Cadillac Deville

[Driven Auto Detail]

This 2004 Cadillac Deville was a referral from a local body shop. Any GM paint that I work on always seems to be on the tough side. This vehicle had some swirls but weren't that noticeable until I got the halogens out. I couldn't see any with the Brinkmann handheld light gun. This was a Full Detail and in this package I provide one polishing step.

Unfortunately, the sun was MIA once again. I took some after pics inside and some outside after the rain let up.

Looks good! I don't know why they put such light carpet in car. It's a PITA to keep looking new.

Thanks guys! For whatever reason, this car was a real workout for me. Not sure what the deal was but I was pleased with the final outcome. GM paint can be such a bear to correct.
