Holder Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Picked me up a new ride. It's a 2014 Phantom Gray CTS V Wagon. I purchased the car in Dallas and I drove it back the 400 miles or so back to Wichita. After turning down the last new V because of flaws that were not repairable I chose not to have this one delivered and go down and inspect it my self. It didn't hurt that this car was built about 3 weeks ago and only had 5 miles on her. Delivery Day Time to get to work. Saturated the Bugs with Rinseless wash solution before we start on the wheels to soften them up. Adam's Deep wheel Cleaner doing work. This was just an initial cleaning. They will get pulled to go a little more in depth. Wheels and calipers getting prepped for a permanent coating. I also thoroughly cleaned the under sides and applied Super VRT to all the plastic. While the wheels were off I also threw on the lowering springs. Stay tuned for more. Aaron@P2PQD and Redbeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holder Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Engine bay was pretty easy, A light clean up and Super VRT and IN and OUT spray did the trick. Multiple applications of Quick Sealant on the black chrome grill. Super VRT on the tires. Michelin's love some Super VRT. Rear quarter polished. After a full inspection and a few test spots it was clear all she needed was Paint Finishing Polish with a White Foam Pad, I love that rear end!

Holder Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Before any sealant or Wax and after the lowering spring install. The rain was about to come down so I pulled her back in to finish up. For now it's only wearing Liquid Paint Sealant on most of the car and a permanent coating on a few choice areas to see how it does. Next week I'll get her out and put down a layer of Brilliant Glaze and Patriot Wax. b_pappy and Redbeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holder Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 The interior didn't need much. A quick vacuum, cleaning with Total Interior Detailer and lathered some Leather Conditioner down. For all the Piano Black and wood trim I coated them in a permanent coating. These are real easy to scratch I don't even like to touch them or look at them. Glass Sealant was applied to all exterior glass including the beautiful ultraview sun roof. That's pretty much I for now. It goes in to get the windows and sun roof tinted, possibly windshield as well. I also removed the CTS and Sewell badges on the rear. No performance upgrades are planned just yet. I just want to enjoy the car for what it is for now. b_pappy and CMDChase 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle Chest Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Congrats on the new ride! It is awesome. Love those cars in all the forms. Excellent color choice too. It looks great. Good call on the springs. Looks so much better with a little drop. An excellent review and a great job. Keep us posted! Holder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyAcadia09 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's all good. When I bought our new cars my wife said "well I know what you'll be doing tomorrow" she's pretty cool about it as she likes clean cars. The funny thing is when she rides with friends and tells me how horrible the inside or outside was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
