      Back in the day owning a Cadillac was a sign you were very successful in business, and even though this is no longer the case they are considered luxury vehicles, I've even had a 97 deville myself a few years ago despite not having a big income, I got quite a few compliments from strangers, but sadly after dads passing things got tough and had to let the caddy go for a small cheap on gas Mazda, and even though it's been a few years now, I miss both dad and driving the deville, maybe one day an opportunity will happen for me to get another in the future...

    Does the moisture from the steam and carpet cleaning ever damage or affect the speakers or other electrical components even though the battery is disconnected?

    • @RuiRex
      @RuiRex Před rokem +7

      If the cones on the speakers are made from that "cardboard like" material (don't know the actual name for it) I would say it's not a great idea to use steam on them. Or spray them with any liquid.

    • @ericingram7864
      @ericingram7864 Před rokem +9

      I have commented on many vids about the amount of liquid used on the carpet, and doors. Yes, will destroy the paper cones of the speakers. And these guys are NOT lazy, I can't figure out why on ones this bad, they don't pull the carpet, because the jute (the padding stuff) under the carpet is not dry when they are done. It can't be. But the visual transformations are awesome.

      Ozone machines work great but are usually used when the smoke is really embedded and most common with cloth seats since those are what absorb most of the smell. The carpets do absorb but when cleaned the way he does it, a lot of the smoke smell gets pulled out. Leather doesn’t absorb the smoke hardly.
      Also, when a car has been ozoned some people hate it. It’s hard to explain but think of having literally no smell in the car. And it’s like that for at least a month usually. It’s a very unusual smell.
      Hope that helps you guys understand.

      Keep in mind this is a Canadian car. Some of it looks like damage, some looks like rock chips that peeled and continued to rust, but the rolled portions of the rear fenders are rusting from the inner edge out, too, which is down to the environment and the quality of the metal and finish from the manufacturer. GM always loved to leave the inner edges of fenders exposed, meaning rust starts there and works outward into the body.

      Try living in the rural. Not all vehicles are trashed up, but I plan to put down plastic and fabric over my seats as soon as I can to keep the seats themselves from strong dirtiness and trunk from dirt on it as well. I keep a garbage can in there for garbage and take the garbage out.
      Edit: I'm sure many folks do not understand my idea or level of clean, but I'm from the urban where having a dirty car is not something to be proud of.
      I understand many rural people farm or do outdoor work, but can still keep a clean car and put stuff down to not let the seats, trunk, floors get dirty.

    • @wit2pz
      @wit2pz Před rokem

      I came here to find this comment... I just made the last payment on my 2013 and I can testify; it's not a good quality car to own! The dash and door sill material is NOT LEATHER! It melted under my bare arm on a mild 70 degree day, like when you hold a Twix for too long and pull your finger back and the chocolate comes off? I've had a Geo Metro that didn't melt under my skin! The driveshaft bolts sheared off because of poor design and there was no recall. I had to find out the hard way and fix it myself or pay $4000 for the repair with redesigned bolts. Overheating was a continuing saga after replacing all the gaskets, I finally found it was the cooling fan motor that failed and replaced it. Seat squeaks at 25,000 miles sounded like old bed springs. The saving grace about this car is that I can burn 87 octane, but that's nullified by the terrible gas mileage! It's marginally better than a Jeep Wrangler on big tires! I know that because I drove a lifted Wrangler while working on the CTS. The other saving grace is that oil changes are super easy; everything is under the hood; you only have to get under it to drain the oil. 20 minutes to complete. Headlight changes take 1.5 hrs because the entire front fascia has to come off, followed by the headlight pods, and each bulb has a cap with 3 hex head bolts that need to be removed.
      They look nice, especially cleaned up, but the quality and workmanship are very much sub-par! I rate the Gen 3 CTS a 3.5/10. Can't wait to get rid of it! It's like rolling the dice every time you drive it, just waiting for what's going to go wrong next!

    Mitch- in regards to the floor mats? In many self service car washes, they have a few wall mounted heavy duty clamps that you can put the floor mats on to. Being on the wall, this will a) make it a bit easier for you, since you won't have to stand over them, or bend over them, as they are on the wall, and B) Since they are VERTICAL, the water should drip off them and allow them to dry a LOT faster! Have a good one, and happy new year!

    I just have to say, I’m so glad you give credit where it’s due. Cadillac is an iconic and deserving name badge and a brand of quality and craftsmanship. Many car companies ride on their name and produce subpar products. Cadillac isn’t innocent of that; they cut some corners in the past. But the CTS is a reminder of their return to concern for the standing of their name and this is a beautiful example. It’s a shame that the previous owner abused and neglected it like they did, but you’ve given this old chap a new lease on life! Great job!!
