Detailing Tips to Keep Your Cadillac CTS’s Interior Shining Like New

Like luxury leather seats and premium features? What about sports appeal like power and speed? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, then you should check out theNew Cadillac CTS.The CTS is a midsize sedan that provides sharp styling, a well-trimmed cabin, and an engaging performance – all things that make it a standout amongst luxury sedans.But when you own a luxury sedan, you want it to keep its premium appeal for as long as possible. There are many ways to do this. For instance, to keep the CTS running smoothly and quietly, it’s important to stay on top of regular maintenance services like oil changes, tire care and so on. Another way to keep your CTS feeling as fresh as the day you bought it is to keep its exterior and interior clean. This can be a hard feat considering many of us live in our cars several hours a week, collecting dirt, grime and trash. To keep your CTS’s interior shining like new, here are some helpful tips on how to detail your car.

Leather

An easy way to pick out a luxury car is by its leather upholstery and seating. As upscale as leather can feel and look, over time it becomes worn and dull. Leather requires special cleaners and conditioners in order to keep it supple and soft. Ignoring cleaning and conditioning the leather in your car can actually lead to cracks, which will require new seat covers to fix. Opt for spray cleaners, applying them onto a clean, soft cloth or directly onto the leather. Wipe dirty areas until clean, but be sure not to scrub too hard because you may clean straight through the color.

Nooks, Crannies and Crevices

When you look around the interior of your car, you’ll notice a mega amount of nooks, crannies and crevices. Spots like these quickly and easily become caked with grit and grime. To clean spots like these, Q-tips are the optimal tool. Q-tips have just the right size, shape and strength to get into all those hard to reach places that a regular cloth can’t. You may bypass areas like these, but when you take the time to really focus on detailing, you’ll be amazed by how nice your car shines.

Clean the Grain

If you look at the leather in your car, you will notice it is full of little crevices along seat arms, the dashboard, etc. Dirt can hide in between these crevices or “grain”, which can cause your car’s interior to look dirty and dull. Areas like these are often overlooked, but they are definitely worth cleaning. To clean the grin, use a soft bristle toothbrush in a slow, circular direction. This will loose and remove any dirt.

Carpet

Carpets are easily one of the dirtiest, albeit, grossest, parts of a car’s interior. Even if you haven’t owned your car for that long, carpets quickly become filled with stains from food, drinks and pets, and dirt our shoes have tracked in. If you want your car to truly look and feel clean, , it’s important to always pay attention to all carpeting.

The best method when tackling your car’s carpeting is to vacuum first. This will eliminate all loose dirt, old food, etc. Then, treat any stains with a spray-on stain lifter. Be sure to really sock the stains. Scrub the worst stains with a plastic bristle brush, repeating the application process if necessary. Using a clean cloth, wipe up the residue lifted from the stains. Finally, after the cleaner dries, vacuum your carpet’s again to remove any last remnants that may still be lingering.

Barbecuing Excellence Means Smoking with Wood Chips

Looking to up your game on the barbecue this summer? By smoking your meat with wood chips, you can gain an added dimension to your meatman empire. But before you lay your first bag of wood chips over that glorious flame, you first must consider some very important wood wisdom.Use and understand these woods and you’ll be well on your way to grilling glory.

Fruit bearing trees like apple, cherry, and peach are great for smoking meat. These woods impart a mild sweetness to the flavor of meats and are excellent choices for chicken and fish and pork.

Birch wood is considered a good mild wood to use and is great for salmon and pork. Mixing birch with fruit bearing woods can increase the flavor profile.

Medium woods to consider are hickory, maple, pecan, oak. They also happen to be the most available. These woods are the workhorses of wood smoking. Pork does excellent with any one of these and beef benefits from these medium woods by receiving a smooth, mild but rich flavor profile.

The Five Categories of Tires

Tires, tires, tires, our friend’s underneath. Unheralded and probably underrated, vehicle tires are more than just the rubber workhorses that get us down the road. They deliver added performance, play a significant role in safety, and can even help us improve fuel mileage.

That’s not all. Tires are also engineered for specific purposes as tire manufacturers have spent millions of dollars in discovering and developing the magical combinations of compound materials and tread configurations to enhance our drive.

There are essentially five types of vehicle tires drivers can choose from. Here is a look at them all.

All season tires: the name sums it up, these tires are versatile and the most common choice, and are designed as the optimum choice for most types weather conditions. All-seasons are also constructed to withstand normal driving and the standard terrain most drivers experience.

Winter tires: for those living closer to the north pole or drivers who prefer some extra security in winter driving conditions, tire manufacturers have developed the winter tire. Their tread compound is engineered to stay pliable as the temperature drops below 45and grooves are widened to take on slush, ice, and snow.

All-terrain tires: best suited for trucks and SUV’s, all-terrains help give drivers that extra oomph in various off road scenarios. These tires have traction lugs that are spread wide apart and act like cleats on a pair of athletic shoes. They also have the wider grooves of the winter tire.

Run-flat tires: run-flat tires maybe a final answer to potentially doing away with the spare. With wide wall construction, they are designed to function with significant loss of air. Long enough for drivers to make to safety.

Sports performance tires: sports performance tires are built specifically to achieve more precise traction and hold car control while accelerating and turning in and out of corners. Their profile is much wider than the average tire and grooves are thinner with the surface being smoother. They can add to the performance of any vehicle but are not so great for winter driving.

That intoxicating new car smell can often cloud our judgement when shopping for a vehicle. If you happen to be exploring a vehicle like the 2017 Cadillac CT6, or any other Cadillac vehicle for that matter, it may be doubly difficult to keep your thoughts in order.

With the 2017 CT6, Cadillac launches an all-out assault on the large luxury sedan market i.e., BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. The CT6 will come in an all new hybrid for 2017 that delivers 30 miles of all electric range before a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder takes over, producing 265HP and zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds.

The CT6 will also be smothered in all of Cadillac’s advanced information, safety, and performance technology. Cadillac plans to leave no doubt in buyer’s minds about its seriousness with the 2017 CT6.

So, you can just let that new car smell overwhelm you when it comes to the 2017 Cadillac CT6. It is stylish, has luxury overload, and a performance package that can be increased to 335HP V6 or a 404HP V6 twin turbo with AWD.

Vehicle Ownership Winners and Losers

When the new car smell begins to fade, less obvious elements of car ownership come to the surface. For a look at some, and a little fun, here are a few leaders in car ownership categories that often escape our notice at first, according to automotive.com.

Best car for a tall person: your thinking something massive, right? A large SUV, a van, surely one of the many full sized sedans? No, it’s actually the Hyundai Elantra. With 40 inches of head room, multi-adjustable driver seat, and unusual space in the driver’s cockpit, the Elantra is a surprising winner in this category. So, if you see someone pulling into the parking lot of a big and tall store in a Hyundai Elantra, you’ll know why.

Least ticketed vehicle: Not sure what’s going on here but the Jaguar XJ is the vehicle less likely to get ticketed. It could point to the demographics of typical Jag owner being older but other vehicle have similar demographics with this British automobile. Oh well, cheerio, no need to step on it, we’ve only just said goodbye!

Least stolen vehicle: Mercedes Benz E class is the least stolen vehicle. Valet parking, protected by large estates, the Benz E class is simply out of the reach of car thief’s. Oh, and its security system is world class.Ugliest vehicle: The Dodge Caliber takes the top spot for ugliest vehicle – no argument here.

Cheapest vehicle to Insure: a top-notch vehicle like the Nissan Frontier is cheapest to insure. Fantastic!

Highest cost to own: the Audi 8 is a great vehicle to look at and drive, but when it comes to reaching for the wallet to insure, gas, and maintain, owners will be doing it again and again.

Most expensive vehicle to maintain: The Mercedes Benz SLK class is the most expensive to maintain because of obvious use of costly, high end parts, but it also can suffer from parts shortages due the exclusivity of the Mercedes brand vehicle. Cadillac shares many parts with Chevrolet, making maintaining a Cadillac much less costly than Mercedes and BMW.

Vehicle with highest repair costs: For the same reason as the MB SLK, the Mercedes Benz GLE is the vehicle with the highest repair costs. As an SUV, its parts are even more rare, making its repairs higher in cost.

The innovation, at all levels, is unmistakable in theCadillac Escalade.Big power comes from a 6.2L 420HP V8 engine. An intelligent ten speed automatic transmission smoothly changes gears with tight rope precision. The Escalade’s stunning power is strong enough for an 8,300LB towing capacity.

Cadillac follows through with its innovative with the safety platform it delivers. An ultra-high-strength steel alloy safety cage begins Cadillac’s ground up approach to safety design. Radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors are in all the right places to detect potential hazards. The Escalade is designed to help you feel reassured in every scenario.

Given the world class design, quality, performance, and safety of the Cadillac Escalade, it may be tempting to forego using our own senses in monitoring possible maintenance problems – assuming everything is ok.

But paying attention to what our vehicles are telling us, even in a Cadillac, is still necessary and is essential in preventing problems from escalating into costly repairs.

Maintenance care in today’s vehicles is becoming increasingly easier with technology and ever-improving quality. It may seem like we can relax when it comes to paying attention to our cars, trucks, and SUV’s. To a certain degree that is true but as mechanical entities, vehicles are still susceptible to having something fail.

Respond to Cadillac’s Many Sensory Indicators

It is not always easy to detect if there is a potential problem brewing under the hood but it is important to make ourselves aware of the signs.

• One of the most obvious is the engine light. Responding to this early warning sign and examining the problem is an important first step in preventing a large and costly repair from occurring.

When an engine light illuminates, it could indicate that the ignition, fuel injection, or emissions control are malfunctioning.Rely on and Trust Your Senses in Detecting Problems: Noises, Smells, the Sight of Smoke

• Unusual noises coming from the motor could also be a que that something is going wrong. Noises that indicate problems often are harsh sounding and easily noticeable. Hissing, squealing, grinding, and thumping noises are the most common when an engine is experiencing problems. Even if these noises are intermittent, it is still important to respond quickly.

Peculiar odors could also be a sign something is wrong, so don’t ignore your vehicle when it emits a strange odor. The smell of burnt rubber, burning oil, and gas fumes may indicate leaks and malfunctions.

Excessive smoke from the engine is another sign of a problem and could mean a leak. Sometimes engine oil can get into the motor’s combustion chamber. There, it burns with the engine’s fuel, causing a great deal of smoke. A smoking engine could mean serious engine problems.

A Little Bit More on the Dynamic Cadillac Escalade

The Escalade is showered in Cadillac swagger and slathered with unfettered performance and luxury. There is very little that large SUV buyers will be “doing without” in this vehicle powerhouse. Generous power, an impeccable interior, and classic Cadillac style is rolled into one versatile and dynamic vehicle.

Remember to trust and rely on your senses to detect any maintenance issues. Contact a Cadillac dealership immediately if something doesn’t seem right. A Cadillac technician would be happy to examine the problem and answer any questions you may have.

Precise and perfectly balanced, Cadillac delivers an impeccable luxury performance vehicle. And with the 2017 ATS Coupe, it does so in every way possible.

Two dynamic engine choices are available in the 2017 Cadillac ATS Coupe – the 2.0L Turbo engine offering a high-performance 272-hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. And for those looking to increase the performance even more, the 3.6L V6 engine bringing a commanding 335-hp.

All that luxury and performance is deserving of a good relationship with its lucky owner. Determine your level of commitment to maintenance when considering the incredible ATS Coupe.

Sugar Daddy or Mama, Good Partner, or Just Not Into You

If your car could rate you as a caretaker, what do you think the results would be? Are you a sugar daddy or sugar mama? If you are, then you do everything you can to treat your car like it’s something special. You shower it with regularly scheduled maintenance check-ups, give it oil changes with synthetic oil as soon as it asks you, and you always drive it with its well fair in mind.

You also do little extra things like winterize it, keep it clean both inside and out, and respond quickly when it tells you something is wrong. Other things a sugar daddy or sugar mama does for their vehicles are protect it against the elements with products that keep the exterior and interior free from harm. And give it a good place to rest at night in either a garage, carport, or at least off the street.

A Good Partner to Your Vehicle

If you are not a sugar daddy or sugar mama for your vehicle, are you a good partner, then? If you are a good partner, you love your vehicle but sometimes you have tendency to let things slide. Overall, you do a good job of taking care of your car but an occasional oil change is scheduled later than it should, or when it comes to regularly scheduled check-ups, one or two might get missed. This is where most people fall, so give yourself a pat on the back if this is you.

Being at least a good partner to your car is commendable and can go a long way in preserving a long life for your vehicle. With our busy lifestyles, rising to the level of sugar daddy or sugar mama in the care of our cars can take near herculean dedication, but you are not too far off.

Committed to Your Vehicle Maintenance but Just not Into it

Are you in a relationship with your vehicle but not fully committed? If you are in this category, you can be indifferent to the care of your vehicle. You oftentimes ask more out of the relationship than you put in. Yes, there are motions toward establishing good care. You keep it somewhat clean and try not to miss oil changes. But overall your care can be inconsistent.

But there is hope. You can move up from “just not that into” your car maintenance, to good partner with relative ease. Be consistent with oil changes and drive your vehicle in way that best preserves it. These are good places to start. Before you know it, you can begin to reap the rewards. And maybe, just maybe, you can wear the supreme title of sugar daddy or sugar mama and your vehicle will show its love with many happy miles.

The 2017 Cadillac ATS Coupe, with its sophisticated art deco styling, new lighter weight chassis, and a choice of two pulsating power trains, make it the new American hope in finally dethroning BMW and Audi from the top of the luxury performance coupe market.
