Driven Auto Detail
This 2004 Cadillac Deville was a referral from a local body shop. Any GM paint that I work on always seems to be on the tough side. This one was no different. This vehicle had some swirls but weren't that noticeable until I got the halogens out. I couldn't see any with the Brinkmann handheld light gun. This was a Full Detail and in this package I provide one polishing step.

Did you intend to post up 5 or 6 threads on this? Would you like me to clean those up for you if so?

Nice work BTW.

That's weird.....didn't realize I had dupes. I remember having issues with the page loading so that was probably it. Sorry about that, and thanks!

Nice work!
Did you notice any of the dye from the leather comming off when you cleaned it?
Driven Auto Detail
Thanks Ron. I didn't seem to notice any dyes coming off the leather, however the driver's seat did not want to come clean. I doubt it had ever been cleaned before. I used the steam on it but it just seemed to streak (meaning you could see the trails where I cleaned) with a small nylon brush attachment and a small MF towel wrapped around it. I couldn't get it to even out though. That's when I decided to switch over to the Woolite/water and a leather brush.
