Man, that looks great.

What is your process going to be for the detail and paint correction?
I’ve got a couple different DAs to choose from. I use some quality correcting compound, followed by polish and then wax. After the polish, if it still needs some help I’ll throw in an all-in-one as a 3rd step

What DAs do you have? Do you have different sizes? I have a Rupes Duetto. This has been something I have wanted to do for a long time. I cant believe how many different products that are available, its crazy. I don't even know where to start haha. I have read up about 3M Perfect-It kit and have a couple of different bottles of Chemical Guys VSS and Jet Seal. My paint is rough, it will need some serious attention. You Caddy looks great.

I have a griots with a 6” backing plate and an Adams mini with a 3” backing plate for the smaller sections. Also have a Porter Canle with a 6” backing plate that I recently got from Fosscore because he can’t use it where he’s going.

I haven't clayed it yet. I will definitely be claying though.

Ahh very cool, nice collection you have. I'm going to be getting the 3" conversion so I can do the same with mine. The duetto has a 5" backer and I have a decent selection of pads.
I was just reading and watching about claying. I have the nanoskin clay towel but I'll be picking up a couple of bars of regular clay. It definitely needs it, I regret using my Tahoe as a work truck.

When you add 22's to a Suburban. Why do you need spacers? where is the wheel rubbing?

It doesn’t. They were for the rears to bring them out just a little bit to match the track of the front wheels
