07 Cadillac Escalade Detail

**hXc drummer23** · 05-18-2008, 06:40 PM

This beautiful Escalade is my Uncle`s. This is my favorite detail I`ve done so far. I love everything about this car. Well anyway here we go.

Process:

Exterior:

The car was already washed before I got there, so I did a quick ONR wipedown.

Clay with Zaino and Sonus Green with ONR as lube

Seal with JW Acrylic Jett

Wax with S100

Wheels polished with Mothers chrome polish and sealed with KAIO

Megs Hyper dressing on tires and in wheel wells.

Interior:

Vacuum all mats and carpet

Scrub and extract all mats and carpet with Megs Apc 10:1

Leather cleaned with Lexol and conditioned with Zymol

Damp microfiber towel wipedown on dash

I think that is it.

Sorry for the quality of pictures. I got a Nikon D40 yesterday, but my dad was using it when I left. The pictures were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix E550.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks. Oh, I forgot to add, my Uncle hooked me up with a Jaguar XKR, a Surburban, and a few boats. I`m also doing another one of his cars during the week.

Tires look kind of greasy but everything else looks great!

tires remind me of mcdonalds frys. dilute HD down a bit. 4:1 should be the strongest you use, whats that 2:1? Blondes make cars look better
