2009 BMW M3 in Space Grey Metallic by Got Leather

Here we have a 2009 BMW M3 in Space Grey Metallic. The owner just purchased this car and wanted to have the car taking care of the right way from the start. He liked to do the occasional wash and wax day on the weekends but leaves the rest up to the pro's. After meeting with him and discussing a plan of attack, we settled for a 1 step polish with protection. The car had minimal swirls and a few light scratches that came up with 1 pass. Claying alone took about 30minutes. The car was pretty contaminated. You will see the clay bar in the picture below after just doing the hood. After the detail, the car was 99% defect free and looked extremely awesome. Honestly, the pictures don't do the car justice of how good and beefy the car looks in person. Great Car. Not bad for a family cruiser with 414hp.

I didn't bother taking before pictures.

Wash via ONR
Clay
Optimum Finish via Green LC Pad @ 900-1400-900 RPM's
Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze
Opti-Seal
Magic Wax via Blue LC Pad @ Speed 5 on PC

Wheel received Optimum Poli-Seal.

Enjoy!

Car with 300 miles...

Optimum Finish then removed with Detailed Image "Great White" MF Towel. New favorite MF.

It was a beautiful day for detailing and made for some decent pictures.

All metal was polished with Optimum Metal Polish. Great product here.

Very nice. Looks fantastic!

If he plans on keeping the front of that car nice, I'd recommend something like Clear Bra. After just 800 miles on our car it has tons of damage. The front end is like a magnet. If I could go back I'd do it.

By the way, you did a great job on it. I really like that color.

look again closely. He already had the clear bra installed

Thanks guys.

Can you say...POPPING FLAKE! Berry nice DJ. You made silver exciting. Those wheels look like a pain to clean. Make sure you get to clean them often before they turn nasty.

Looks great DJ, and nice reflections shots as well for a silver car!

Is this the M3 you were telling me about?
