I don't want to get locked into an endless discussion about car care products, but you should really consider investing in a Rupes 21 Mark II, power sprayer, MTM Hydro Foam Lance (or better), CG CWS_402 soap, light clay or nanoskin fine grade, P21S paint cleaner (very important!), and Cquartz or McKee's 37.

For now, it's in an insulated building with no leaks. Haven't seen this car clean and in decent light in so long I forgot how much I like the lines on the V1. I really like it a lot better visually compared to the V2 sedan.

And then of course there's the obligatory slammed CTS-V from Forgestar's site:

Already have the KW V3s installed. Not adjusted though. Have some 360s coming eventually but I think I am leaning more to the F14s by the day. I know everybody is doing it but there just aren't many V1s around me and the two I have seen are stock. So I may jump on that wagon with the rest here pretty soon.
For now, pulling the heads to send the intake valves to Del West for a free polish. Risk of guide issues otherwise. Common to the LS9 and LS7 heads. But while that is going on I can do the new oil pump and get the bellhousing aligned. Progress soon I hope once I finish moving into the new space.

Your car is definitely a lot cleaner looking then mine, my front bumper is faded, paint coming off the side mirrors and the plastic trim on roof. Hopefully when I get her running, she will get a fresh coat and some new rims, and some lights, and some.... ****

Yeah no crap...Where is the tumbleweed emoticon?
For now just a daily... Mods? Yeah when traction falls out of the sky.
BTW got $10K off MSRP because PO bought and traded in with 307 miles on it. That also qualifies for Cadillac "certified" pre-owned so something like 6 year 100K warranty. I lucked up and couldn't pass up. Shipped from Scottsdale, AZ.
The V1 is still going to be more fun once done...And far more gnarly.
