1995 Blue M3
Belongs to a 19 year old who works at Martin Motorsports.
He is leaving for the beach on Wednesday and wanted it "waxed"
I'd say 70% of the swirls were removed. Spent alot of time on the interior/trunk removing gunk and what have you.
Process:
wash
clay
ec/op mix on a foamed wool pad 1500rpm
op mix (op/oc/ohc) pc 6 orange ccs pad
poli seal white ccs pad pc 6
opti seal red ccs pad pc 6
Z16 on tires/trim
================
vacuum
steam
nl on everything inside
FK1 #425 on trim

Re: 1995 Blue M3
Great work Thomas - I'm surprised you cleaned out his trunk lol, I usually don't do the trunk or charge bigtime extra if they leave the trunk a mess.

Re: 1995 Blue M3
Thanks themightytimmah!
Actually I didn't clean the trunk itself (did vacuumed aroun his stuff), but what I did clean is the painted areas under the trunk. I gave him a friend's price. He is a good kid and helps me if I need help with my car.
I always do the trunk, unless I am told not to. Plus I charge by the hour.

Re: 1995 Blue M3
Thanks guys!
I have to say that Poli Seal is an amazing looking polish. After all the correction was done I gave it another wash. Dried it and the car looked real good. As I was doing the Poli Seal treatment I couldn't believe how much darker and wetter the paint looked. Almost took a picture of it. It looked like a 50/50 before & after. Love it!!!!!!!

Re: 1995 Blue M3
Awesome work Thomas. 
How do you like OS?
We need to get together again sometime if you ever get some free time.
Martin Motorsports keeps you pretty busy with some nice cars.
