ClimbingDad Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 2014 Cadillac CTS4 2.0T Luxury edition - black. 18" factory rims. Massachusetts. I have what I guess I would call hobby level + experience with detailing - although if you asked my wife she would say I spend too much time cleaning my car. I took a body shop class after work number of years ago to refinish my 1987 Chevy Caprice - which I sold. I always have questions when I am looking at how to clean this or tha t and I decided this might be a great resource. stalebreadjr, Nickfire20 and SgtLip 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfire20 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Nice whip, and it sounds like you will get along with all of us very well 😬👍 I am in Maryland and have my prized possession is ceramic coated(2019 Tahoe Premiere RST). The 2 dailys we own, I keep up on very well, my Silverado has spray coating on one side and on the driver side I have different stuff on each panel for experimental purposes. Do you have any experience with coatings? ClimbingDad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbingDad Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Nothing with ceramic yet. Curious about that. I'm really comfortable with a DA. I try to clay it every spring and have been trying different polish / waxes on top. Looking for a good combination to take the black deeper.

Nickfire20 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I gotcha, Adam’s Ceramic Spray coating is really awesome and easy, lasts 6-8 months. He also has boost and a paste wax which are phenomenal products adding gloss and longevity. This picture is my old Tahoe after a wash and a layer of Brilliant Glaze, BG doesn’t offer any protection but I use to use it all the time to make it look like wet paint.

RayS Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Welcome David. That is a good looking car. ClimbingDad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Beautiful Cadillac. I did my black Equinox with the Ceramic Spray Coating and it looks so deep and wet. I'm no pro, and I'm 73 years old, so if this old man can do it, so can you. Welcome to the forum David!
