Sully's Detailing: 2006 M3

[sullysdetailing]

I got a call from this client about a week ago. He just bought the car to replace his 2002 silver M3. He told me the car was in poor condition and wanted to get it looking new again. When I arrived it was over cast so the paint didn't look to bad. After I washed and clayed the vehicle I pulled it into the garage and hit the paint with the Brickman, man was I wrong. The Carbon Black Metallic paint looked flat as could be and was filled with swirls.

Thank You

Also I decided to use WGFG on this car because I was a little low on M205. Man I forgot how easy this stuff is to use. It wipes off very easily and leave a much nice finish then M205 to me it make the paint pop alot more. This was the second car I used Dodo Juice Blue Velvet PRO and I am liking this more and more for dark color cars

Beautiful M3. The E46 M3 is probably one of my all time favorite cars. Great restoration!!

I am appreciative of your work: my car is a Carbon Black 5-series and this color is tricky, almost worse than straight black because it is difficult to see the swirls at first, then when you start seeing them, they are all over! Nice work.

Great work as always Shawn. So is the Blue Velvet a new go to wax for you on black cars. I just put a coat of fusion on my phantom black audi but was wondering about ordering the dodo blue velvet pro. Always appreciate your opinion.

The car is Carbon Black, but its more of a Dark Navy. It gave the paint alot of dept but I still love Fuzion Souveran and WGDGPS. If you want get a sample and try it out
