  • 1976 Cadillac Coupe Deville

    Here are a few pictures of a 67 caddy I was lucky enough to recently sort out. I had a fun time with this one, a true classic.
    Now, seeing that this is my first post, you will have to excuse the lack of before and after shots, but here are a few before and afters. Hope you enjoy.


    Process:

    Rinsed
    Foamed
    Wheels cleaned with various brushes
    followed by wash with a sheepskin wash mitt and 2bm
    de tarred
    clayed using megs mild
    rinsed
    then brought inside to polish
    Menz 203 on a Gloss-it light cut pad on the Makita (this removed over 90% of the swirls, as the paint was surprisingly easy to work with)
    then followed by Menz 85rd on a Gloss-it blue finishing pad again on the rotary
    full IPA wipedown
    then topped with Pinnacle Signature II (customers request as he already had a pot)
    Wheels polished with megs nxt
    tires received megs #40
    Engine cleaned by hand with megs apc, all britework done with megs nxt
    Final wipedown with Ride Shine QD


    Before:







    After:




















    A big thanks to the client for letting me sort out his caddy, I had a fun time with this detail.

    Best regards

                  Nice work and cool Caddy. If the grill is original, it would be a 1979.
