Cadillac paint finishes are engineered for durability and depth, but they still require care.
Start with regular washing using pH-balanced automotive soap. Avoid household detergents, which strip protective coatings. Hand washing with microfiber mitts reduces swirl marks. After washing, apply wax or paint sealant every few months. Wax enhances gloss, while sealants offer longer-lasting protection against UV rays and contaminants.
For long-term protection, consider ceramic coatings. While more expensive, ceramic coatings create a durable hydrophobic barrier that repels dirt and water. Don’t forget smaller exterior details—chrome trim, emblems, and wheels benefit from specialized cleaners that prevent oxidation and pitting.
