More rain today as Hurricane Ike comes ashore south of us. \u00a0Hopefully everyone stays safe from the storm.<\/p>\n

Grabbed this shot of my Cadillac CTS with my Kodak C875 on a tripod. \u00a0Looks like the Meguiar’s Tech Wax is still beading up very well after week 2 of real-world use. \u00a0The paint feels waxy, silky good to the touch. \u00a0Click the image for a close-up link to the larger file.<\/p>\n

After another week or so I want to use Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax, then top it with a coat of NXT Tech wax and see how that looks.<\/p>\n

The grill medallion to the left is a Heritage Of Ownership medallion. \u00a0These are originally ordered by the Sales department at a Cadillac Dealer and presented as a ‘gift’ to the vehicle purchaser. \u00a0The number on the medallion indicates the number of Cadillacs you have owned. \u00a0In my case the list includes a 1992 Cadillac STS, a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood (briefly), a 1996 Cadillac STS, and a 2004 Cadillac CTS. \u00a0Between my 04 and 05 models I have 75K+ miles in CTS’s now; they have been great cars.<\/p>\n

Next time I think I definitely want a sunroof. \u00a0I had avoided the sunroof when I got my CTS’s due to the loss of head room and to the extra weight (racer Bruce lol) an (cough) cost. \u00a0 I think a sunroof can add a lot to the enjoyment of the Cadillac though, so if my next Cadillac is not an XLR (hardtop convertible) then it will definitely have a sunroof.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
