Default Detail: Cadillac CTSV

Got a text from a guy about getting his CTSV cleaned up for a magazine shoot. I'm sure most of you will recognize the car as it's the fastest stock blocked ctsv in the nation. Car was pretty well maintained minus a few spots where the body shop either drug something across the front of it or rubbed something hard on it. Either way, it all came out and I'll post up only a fraction of the photos I took. On another note this color was super hard to photograph to show the true defects and outcome. Not sure why, but even the owner said the same thing.

On to the pics.



Here you can see the sun gun showing the swirls but to the west and east of the center of the light you can see the up and down marks.

Here was a spot where it looked like they took a scotch brite pad and ran it across the hood in one section:






Door area before:


Door area after:




Mirror? Nope, just gloss:


Exhaust before:


After:


And now the afters:















That sun doesn't lie:








Thanks for checking it out!

looks good and great work as always, no offense to the owner but is that a daily driver or something? Just looks like to many blemishes for a 2011.
