Nice work Todd. It'd really piss some people off if you show'd the badge on the back of the car.

Never met him in person, but I do know the car.

TSC17- Nice job! As an E36 M3 owner I found the Leatherique info interesting...I have their stuff sitting on the shelf and when I get around to the interior I might give it a try.

Heh heh, lucky you that one pass with SIP/white was sufficient; when the paint on those cars is trashed it's a *real* PIA to correct.

Amazing work! That silver looks WET!
Great job on the Leather too, thanks for the informative write up

Thanks Accumulator. It's definitely good stuff indeed. I just recommend patience and allow the product to work.

I could tell that the paint would be difficult to work with if I were going for full correction. Lucky for me this one was silver, and well kept. The purple one here in a few weeks is going to be another story though. I'm glad I did the silver one first so I have a better idea on what to expect with the paint.

Thanks Kaval (Kevin, right?), I appreciate it.

Awesome work ... the M3 is a timeless work of art and one of my fav cars. I still remember when they came out in 95 and the promo car was the dakar yellow ... sick.
