9 hours on this M3

Never have I removed more clear on a car than this one.

There were many scratches on this car that were way too deep to remove. I tried my best.







YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



REAR OF THE CAR: ( the rest was ok except for the imperfections )

Re: 9 hours on this M3

What is that meter you are holding? If its a paint thickness gauge, I've never seen one before, that's why I'm asking.

thanks! It isn't too bad. It rained all day and polishes don't like humidity.
