11chevz71 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Introducing my grandmother 2005 Cadillica CTS. Well least is up soon and is time to give it back. Thank goodness my grandmother does not need to be driving anymore. The wheels are terrible. The carpet is horendiss. The leather is crack and dirty. The paint is scratch swirled city and anything else you can think of. The engine has seen its better days. So if there is anything to keep in mind let me know. And the bad thing about this car is it only has 16,000 miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi Jesse - Looks like you have your work cut out for yourself, but really it's just a lot of small things -- take your time, work through it and that car's going to come out looking really good. After what we've seen you do on your truck and your dad's truck, I have no doubt you're going to make that Caddy shine.

Baron_Von_Awesome Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Only 16,000 miles? Was it used as a rally car?! That scuff/scratch can be diminished: it will take a few passes, but it can definitely be done. As for the rest of the car...it's just dirt - don't let it scare you And you can always bounce back here for advice if you need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 16,000 miles of driving down logging roads maybe? LOL first of all do you have a PC yet? The new 4" pads look like they could also be put to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 If it is a lease car...turn it in the way it is. The dealership doesn't appreciate your hard work and effort plus it will give the porter something to do. If there is major damage to a lease car she will be charged anyway.

Going to take the scratches out so she does not get charged. and hopefully i will get paid on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnitetrain Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 FWIW after you clean it up make sure to document the turn in with pics/time/date to avoid/fight possible damage/mileage claims months down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
