2015 M3 Detail

[Stone150]

One of my co-workers had a blow-out in his 2015 M3, He brought it to me to get it cleaned up, the rear bumper will need to be replaced thought. It doesn't show it in the pictures but the car was pretty rough. Clayed, sealed, and waxed the entire car. Only compounded and polished the affected areas and a few random scratches.

the black you see is the plastic under the paint

Man, No love, I'll have to get better close up pictures and interior next time, but I was under the gun.
Got a close up in the parking garage, he will need a new bumper/rocker, but for now he said he is happy. You can't see it in the picture, but the clear film is still there, I was able to clean it up.

Nice job on a great car. I've always liked the M line, and you did that one proud.

Thanks,It is an awesome car, it drives night and day compared to that wagon in the background.

For those wondering, this is the assessment of the damage:
The front rocker plastic is split in one spot and it is missing a little plastic in a few areas. the quarter panel has very little damage at this point and is missing paint in a few spots, but nothing bad. The rear bumper is has a bout a 3 inch split in it, all the black areas behind the wheel are where the steel belts of the tire had a whip effect and damaged the bumper. There is about a 1 in x 2 in area of plastic at the very bottom of the bumper, right behind the wheel, that is missing. It is that last part that pretty much insures the bumper will need to be replaced. Any remaining black areas you see are plastic missing paint.
The car is a lease and the owner doesn't want to really do anything until it is time to turn it in. The wheel and tire cost him about $2K. He just wanted me to clean it up and see if how good I could get it to look.

Great work. Is that an M3 or M4?

My mistake. It's only the coupe and convert that are M4's.

Always have been one of my favorites. That high revving v8 sounded so good with an aftermarket exhaust. Came close to getting one but wanted something a little more aggressive that I could modify.
