Car Detailing for Cadillac XT5

Detailing your Cadillac XT5

XT5s are common in Richmond Hill and Markham as a family's nicer car, and they tend to come to us with light leather that has gone grey on the driver's side and a cargo area that has carried a few seasons of sports gear. We clean the leather gently, dry-brush the suede headliner where fitted, clear the roof-shade track and extract the carpets. The chrome gets polished, the paint gets a polish and sealant, and the toggle shifter area gets treated with care.

What we watch for on a XT5

• The electronic toggle shifter and the glossy trim around it scratch; we use a plastic-safe cleaner and plush microfibre
• Microfibre headliner on Platinum cars needs dry brushing, not a wet cleaner
• The UltraView roof shade track collects dust and the big glass panel films over inside; we clean it with the shade open
• Light leather on Premium Luxury shows dye transfer and dirt in the perforations; a foaming cleaner and soft brush lift it
• Chrome trim and the wide grille pit after winter; polish and sealant keep them bright

Midsize SUVs: three rows of places to hide crumbs

With a third row, a big cargo area and plenty of child-seat anchors, midsize SUVs hide a lot of mess. We work through each row and each seat track so nothing is left behind.
