2004 Caddy DeVille

O RLY?
I did this detail on Tuesday and I was too lazy to post pics until today. :D



Anyway, this car came to me pretty clean, so it wasn't much of a hassle. I vacuumed the interior and dressed everything except the seats with Adam's VRT. I used PB's NL on the seats and leather pieces.

For the trunk, I used In-N-Out Detail Spray that Adam's sells. This is a really cool product for exterior rubber and dark rubber pieces. Very glossy with a dry feel.

Exterior: I used PB's PP, EX-P, and Natty's. This is a really great combo for light metallics. If you remember, I've used it on our E320 with Desert Silver Metallic (very light silvery champagne color) with great results, so I figured I'd use it on this. This silver paint has a BUNCH of flake in it, and the EX-P made it pop. Natty's adds a glowing warmth to the effect EX-P makes and adds a really wet look. Adam's VRT is on the tires.

Now, as for the pics, it was really late when I finished, so the sun was pretty much set. The past 2 times I've detailed with this combo there hasn't been a single cloud in the sky, so reflections are limited to trees. I couldn't bring out the metallic in any of the pics due to the lack of sun, so my apologies in advance. I still think they came out o.k. though.

Enjoy!
 
Thanks guys. Sean, I agree with you. I've driven both the current generation and the previous one and the new ones are so much better to drive and to look at. The only downside is that transversely mounted V-8 and front wheel drive. I'm fine w/ FWD on foreign cars, but a big, heavy, American tradition boat? No way.
 
Excellent! Like Sean, I also like this latest incarnation of the Deville.



Tough this time of year finishing and getting pics in good light, isn't it?
 
Definitely. I got the car at noon and by 5:00 (when i took the pics) it was almost dark! The house to our right blocks some sun as well, so that's not a plus, either.
 
Porkanbeans,



Great detail. Natty's and EX looks great on that finish. I think the new DeVille is looking sharp as well.



Are you in the Atlanta area by the way?
