    Seriously. Those of you that do this for a living....props!!!!



    I just purchased a new Cadillac ATS in Black. The dealer had detailed it for delivery and of course that means they put a lot of swirls and halo`s on it for me.



    I have had many a black car in my day but this one is special, don`t ask me why but I absolutely love my ATS. I have enjoyed my previous cars but this car really has it all. Thus I want to take better care of her than any other car I have owned.



    So 3D Professional is what I settled on. HD Pads (Orange, Black, Red) HD Uno, HD Polish and HD Proxy. Purchased a PC7424xp, some new plush Micro-Fiber towels and some clay.



    To start 2 bucket wash followed by clay then 2 bucket wash again. Then onto the fun that is known as waxing. Long story short I hit each spot with 3x Cutting, 2x Polish and 1x wax. I started this process on Sat around 1:30pm and finished not even half way done around 11pm. I started again on Sunday around 11:30pm and finished the process at 10:30pm. I only stepped away to eat during this time. I took my time for sure but man what a learning experience. Props again for those that do this for a living as I`m not sure if this is something I would want to do every day. It`s really a lot of work if you do it right. My chiropractor is going have a field day with me for sure now



    Thanks much to this site for the knowledge base that it provides. All the information I learned I learned from here and the products I purchased for this endeavor where determined based on posts here. Thanks again.

    Glad to hear you like your Cadillac so much and that you managed to get it done over the weekend. (Heh heh...now for the *really* hard part- *keeping* it nice )
