There is just something special about a Cadillac CTS-V. It’s every bit of the sports sedan that anyone could ever want and more, but it doesn’t shout it from the rooftops. While it packs a supercharged 8 cylinder monster pumping out 640 horsepower, it can blend right into the daily commuter traffic with most people being none the wiser. We like to think of it as a Brute In a Suit. With these great looks and this much power, the owner wanted to ensure that it stayed blemish free. It was brought in for a paint correction, paint protection film (ppf) and a ceramic paint coating. This not only will make it look better today, it will keep it looking great for many years to come.
The first step, as it is with many of the services we offer, is a full foam soaking decontamination bath. This will help remove and loosen any contaminants on the painted surface and get the vehicle ready for clay bar to remove the more stubborn contaminants.
You would be amazed that even on paint that looks clean how many contaminants a clay bar treatment can remove. Look at how much dirt is on this bar that was used to decontaminate a clean car after a foam bath. This clay bar process enables us to remove embeded contamination before we move on to the inspeaction and correction step.
Our lighting will reveal any paint that needs corrected such as this panel below.
This is that same panel after we do the paint correction process. Look at the depth and perfection of that shine! Not a scratch or swirl mark in sight.
Once the paint is fully corrected, we move onto applying SunTek Paint Protection Film (PPF) Ultra. SunTek PPF is scientifically formulated to maintain the beauty and integrity of vehicle finishes for many years, in all kinds of weather. This innovative film is applied to the surface of the vehicle to create a barrier against water, insects, road debris, and other stains. With either finish, there are benefits of self-healing film and SunTek’s proprietary HydroResist technology.
Once the paint protection film is installed and allowed to fully cure, we apply a professional ceramic paint coating to all painted surfaces to protect them from future contamination and make the vehicle easier to keep clean.
Just take a look at these final shots that were taken after the final touch ups with the car ready for delivery. Now, the car has looks as stunning as the performance under the hood. The best part is that this protection will help keep it looking that way and turning heads for many years to come.
