  • 2000 Cadillac Seville

    2000 Cadillac Seville, 55k miles.

    Client wanted the interior cleaned up and some protection on the exterior.

    All of this rain has been slowing me down, having to reschedule, pick the days carefully, etc. I have been watching the weather like a hawk.

    Some befores:








    I started by washing the wheels, tires, and wells with Deep Crystal Car Wash, Super Degreaser, and Wheel Brightener along with various brushes.








    Front done, rear dirty:




    I then went ahead and washed the car with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and liberal amounts of Body Solvent on the tar.






    I dried it with some Water Magnets, then took these shots of the interior:












    I did a dry brush and a vac on the carpet, then cleaned all the hard surfaces and leather with All Purpose Cleaner, cotton cloths, and various brushes.

    The carpet was cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, warm water, and a carpet brush, then extracted with my shop vac, water, and then drie with cotton towels and the blower option on my shop vac.

    Everything was dressed with Quik Interior Detailer, glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate, jambs were wiped out with All Purpose Cleaner and a microfiber.

    Interior after pictures are not the best, I was talking on the phone while taking them and that was a bit distracting.


















    I clayed the car with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1. I then applied #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) with my G110 at speed 4, I used several W8207 pads working the #66 in really well.

    The tires and wells were dressed with All Season Dressing, the wheels were sealed with #20 - Polymer Sealant, all glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate.

    I think it turned out nice for a basic detail, looks pretty good for a ten year old daily driver.

    The Seville looks great. The inside cleaned up very well. The paint looks great.

      I'm really glad you mentioned M66, I use it as a final jeweling for detailing, just adds that final touch before the final wax.

      Looks great!

        Nice job on that caddy. Too bad it was raining afterwords

        Btw how many towels do you usually use for interior? Mostly when you clean carpet and seats.

            Thanks.

            Around twelve for the entire interior, it depends.

                      The rain can be a real pain sometimes.

                      Hopefully nobody else cancels this week.
