I last detailed this car a year ago.

This time I was told not to worry about the swirls or scratches. I was needed to get rid of water marks and some bird droppings.

The horizontal areas looked creamy. Not sure if you can see it from the few before pictures.

AFTER polishing - there was so much dust & pollen today that I used a wet mf towel to wipe the residue off. What you see is water.

This picture isn't showing some of the rids unfortunately - the trunk is not perfect

All done!!

Not bad at all, Thomas, for not having to worry about the swirls or scratches! That's a pretty sweet looking M3!

Wow and you did that job out in the hot sun. Fantastic. I thought that you said they had a garage. Although i could have been mistaken. How long did it take?
