2004 Bmw M3

[killerGLI]

So I got a call about a black BMW M3 back in December, and upon seeing it I knew it was gonna be some work. The owner took pretty good care of it, but it definitely needed some polishing and tlc. It took me about a day and ahalf so maybe 13 hours. here is the process...



Wash: cherry power and some isopropyl alcohol to strip any wax

Wheels: P21s wheel gel and some Purple power degreaser with a pipe brush

Clay: mothers yellow clay

Polish: Meguiar`s swirl x on a yellow pad and 3M ultrafinaon a white pad

Sealant: Meguiar`s #7

Wax: Meguiar`s #26
