Red Cadillac CTS-V gets Paint Correction

This 2009 Cadillac CTS-V in Crystal Red Tint Coat came in for an evaluation on paint correction. The condition of this vehicle was a little rough for its age. The paint correction process on this one is going to take some time considering the the finish looks like it had been sent through a tunnel was more than a couple times. Our multi stage correction utilizes proper polishing techniques along with the best polishes to create a swirl free finish.  This picture below is after our decontamination wash and clay bar treatment.  Out in the sun you can see the swirling which has been cause by improper maintenance.
