Thanks! Had a paint correction done in March. I run 3m synthetic wax and xxx hardcore carnuba.

These pics are of McGuire's ultimate tech wax 2.0 and 3m spray quick wax as I woke up a little bit late.

Here you can can see some of the beat up, torn OEM cradle bushings. I'm going to overall everything. This is simply unacceptable now. The more I am performing maintenance on the car, the more the weaknesses show as I accrue more mileage with this chassis. Here are some photos. The rear had mis-matched Torx screws. One side was T30 and the other side was T27. And no corrosion was not an issue.

Before. Some very dusty and aggressive pads or seemed so because they have life left and dusted like crazy. Here are my beat, chipped, and ugly calipers. Sorry folks, but I inherited this I suppose.

Talking First track day in the V is a success!

Wow What a fun drive down to Florida and back.

Brakes and tires were great!!!

~915 miles one way, double is 1,830 miles. Flawless operation. GM is a great engine maker.

The chassis was very comfy on the ride as expected and the car was very soft on the track. We were at The Firm in Starke, FL.
Lots of fun, lots of three wheeling, and now I have a much better grasp on what I would prefer done to my CTS-V1.
I have more pictures that I will load in the next few days. Bare with me as I just got back in and doing lots of clean up and maintaining.

Few pics on the track during parade time.

Lovely Nissans.

Here is how much lateral grip those tires were able to provide to the soft and comfy Caddy chassis.

Here is a sweet photo I was able to take while in the paddock on the road course.
