Several months ago I was contacted by one of my client's who wanted to give a Christmas gift to one of his friends. The gift would be a complete detail of three of the friends cars. The cars to be detailed are: 2007 Bentley Continental GT 1971 Cadillac Eldorado 2006 Cadillac Escalade This is the first of the three details. This car is by far the largest vehicle (other than an SUV) that I have detailed. The view from the interior looking over the hood is that of being on an aircraft carrier. The car is a luxuary car in every sense of the word with every bell and whislte you could think of in a car from 1976. 500 cubic inches of engine wasn't bad either. The paint was in so so condition with sevearl issues including cracks and flaking of the paint in various areas. Since my PTG is still on order and not to do potential damage to the paint, I decided to go with a light polish to remove some of the surface marring and scratches. My fear was that going more aggressive would cause more harm that good. The owner was extremely pleased with the result. This was my first full detail outside and I hate it....:down I had to deal with landscapers cutting grass around me, wind blowing materials from trees next to the car, and a 30% rake on the driveway which caused my bucket to roll to the end of the driveway everytime I turned around. Yes..I am garage detail spoiled. The car was so large that it wouldn't fit into the client's garage. The weather was ugly today with it looking like rain at any minute. I did the best I could with pics in dodging landscapers and the ugly skies. Detail Time: 7 hours Foam with CG CWG and EO Wash Soap in Foam Gun Wash with 2 Bucket Method and Ultima Wash Soap Clay with Megs white clay Interior cleaned with Woolite 6:1 and Optimum Power Clean on soiled areas.

Pat...Awesome Job...it looks great..the paint is superb...the interior is normal for you..Great....one thing I did notice...is no cracks in the steering wheel..the old plastic type like that always had a crack and separation...lol..but that ones perfect... Oh..the engine compartment is great also...little dust in the intake tube...LOL..J/K Nice AL
WOW what a boat!! Outstanding job Pat! Thanks for sharing and giving me a laugh :giggle: I could picture you turning around and realizing your bucket was gone :rollinglaugh: I am sorry.... I am sure it was not funny. But I did LOL :rollinglaugh: Does he keep the car in the garage... but there just was not enough room for you to move around? The bumper looks to be in great shape also. Any pitting? Again.. great job as usual!
Very nice job on a great looking Cadillac! Yeah, not very many of them are in this condition. 8.2 lliter V-8, huh? That engine must be thirsty!
Excellent work my friend...I believe it has more paint than a SUV...LOL...The car looks beautiful....The pics you took look awesome.....
Great job Pat! Those Caddies were huge. I never knew GM made an 8.2 litre V8. That thing must get about 8 miles per gallon. lol
