This Escalade ESV came as a package deal.....TWIN Escalades!! You did read that right. The paint correction and coating of this MONSTER came a few weeks ago following the paint correction and coating of its younger sister, namely a beautiful 2015 Cadillac Escalade. Trust me when I say that you NEVER want to schedule 2 back to back Escalade for paint correction/coating. It was hot, it was miserable and it was a LOT of hard work!!!! I have to Thank God for my extra large wingspan because coating this baby was ROUGH!
Following a thorough bath and decontamination we proceeded to correct the paint defects. One thing I can say about this Escalade is that clear was HARD! We used LC purple wool on Flex 3401 with FG400 and I still had to chase those pesky swirls and scratches!!! Unbelievable!! I know my buddy Mike is going to chime in that I need to break down and get a rotary, and he knows how much I am dreading the purchase of a new tool, but I was at the point when I was going to get one overnighted. In any case, as Mike P says all the time, you can get it done but it will take a little longer.... and it did!
Here is a shot of the paint before and after!
Did you see that light set up Zach??? When am I going to see you with one of those boom light stand to go with your DIY light set up. It is AWESOME!!!!!!
Well, after a thorough correction came a double Erasor in preparation for the CQuartz Finest coating. Finest comes in 50ml bottle and this "boat" on an SUV required TWO!!! (for the required double coat). We did have a little left over so since we were finishing with the hood we ended up putting a 3rd layer. It was funny to see the product rejecting itself after a while.
So here are the gloss and reflection shots you waited for:
Interior was done as well!! PERL was used on the rubber and vinyl pieces and could not have been happier with the results.
Warranty card all filed out with a couple of business card to pass along to friend and family (hopefully nobody with an Escalade ESV
LOL!)
I would put the other Escalade but it is all the same as this one!! I will however share a final picture of it for your enjoyment. I was my first 2015, and I think the first Show 'N Shine with a 2015 vehicle !?!
I sure hope you enjoyed! Feel free to comment, ask questions etc...
Have a great day!
