This was my favorite detail to date. I love all M3's especially E9X's so working on this beauty was definitely a treat for me. The exhaust note on this car is stunning as i heard a preview of it's potential while i pulled the car in and out of my garage to check it's progress in the sun.
The car arrived at 7am on Friday morning in the following condition:
These wheels were no exception to the BMW dusty pads rule. You can actually see little piles of brake dust in between the spokes of the rims.
Interior wasn't bad either, just needed some minor work.
Starting from the base up, the wheels received a deliberate spritzer of Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner. The tires were cleaned using APC cut at 5:1.
Car was then foamed, rinsed and dried. Now it's time to check the damage under sunlight with no LSP covering up defects.
Various wash marring, light swirls and buffer trails were covering the car.
Car was given two IPA wipedowns at a 60/40 solution, then all trim pieces were taped up.
Correction was completed in three steps:
Microfiber Cutting Discs W/ M305
LC Tangerine w/ 203s
Uber Green 106FA
Front fender 50/50
The clarity that paint corrections bring out is enough to make the paint seem a totally different shade!

Some guys just can't keep up with the pace of a paint correction.#
Man down
B Pillars coming out very nicely#
At the beginning of the second day of polishing i attended to the interior and few minor rock chips around the car.
Pulled the car out to check the progress after the first step was completed
The last two steps were completed sequentially...
Final polish broken down on the Caboose
Two IPA wipe downs then final correction shots were taken
Pulled the car out for the 26th consecutive time to get some final correction shots before the wax dipped in Titanium kryptonite carnuba was applied...
LSP was then applied in two separate applications.#
Not only does Crystal Rock look unlike anything i have ever seen in person, but application is a dream. It goes on extremely easy, wipes off easy with absolutely no smearing! It smells like a mix between coconut, pineapple and... car wax. It really is an amazing thing
Rim's sealed with two layers of Rejex polymer sealant
For the last time, the car was taken into the California rays for the final showcase of 23 hours of cumulative work
Enjoy,
Thanks for looking!
