A Miracle Detailing
2018 Cadillac XT5 - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Finest Reserve
I must admit Caddy has ramped up its game in the last few years.
2018 Cadillac XT5 - SUV Crossover - Pretty nice for a soccer mom.
I usually do not do this but...
I was asked to do ad nauseam detail about what was done so here goes...
Interior
Fortador Vapor Steam Cleaner powered by Lamborghini
All leather, carpet, a/c vents etc. disinfected and bacteria free
There was jeans dye transfer on the tan leather seats. It was gone.
Leather conditioned with Waxaddict Leather Balm applied with fingers.
Oddly enough, that was the only "chemical" used inside the vehicle.
For hauling around to kids it turned out pretty sweet (showroom new).
Exterior
Engine bay steam cleaned and dressed with Sonus Motor Kote
Presoak foam shampoo then two bucket wash method with Reset
Minor swirls, a few small surface scratches, and a little PDR work.
PDR was odd? On the rear hatch, the dent was an outie, not an innie.
Decontamination:
IronX then flush then Immolube and Nanoskin Autoscrub (FINE) mitt
Compound:
Rupes 21 MKII w/5" backing plate
5" rupes green pad with Scholl Concepts S3 Gold
Polished:
Rupes 21 MKII w/5" backing plate
5" Carpro gloss pad with Scholl Concepts S30+ Nano Compound
Wheels cleaned and tires coated with OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Matte
Coated:
Paint cleaned with Eraser and two coats of C.Quartz Finest Reserve.
Final baking at 140 degrees for 20 minutes with a shortwave IR light.
Short version: Cleaned, compounded, polished, coated and cooked.
Now on to some visuals...I hope you like `em.
Video:
1080p HD (Please use gear bottom right to set to 1080p) Only 60 sec. The ending is pretty good.
I feel I have gotten a little better at the 360 walk-around vid. Not bad for an old POS iPhone 6.
The biggest improvement (for me) was using a Zhiyun gimbal. It reduced the shake and wobble.
Before my vids looked like they were done by Michael J. Fox on 5 Red Bulls in an earthquake.(sigh)

The End
Thanks for looking...Feedback appreciated.
