2009 Jet Black M3 Detail

[Thomas Dekany]

This is the same car that I did last year when it was new. Same owner as the A5 and Cayenne.



I was told that the condition of the paint was still in very good condition.



Unfortunately that wasn`t the case as we all know what happens to JB paint.



I spent 2 days on it instead of the scheduled 1 day and corrected as much as possible but the paint isn`t perfect. However at the end of day 2 when both of us were just looking at it, the paint looked so black and glossy even I had to just stare at it. I really wish I was able to capture the look but again it was pretty dark and didn`t have my tripod.

You like that Uno with the XC3401. I couldn`t get to like it that much. Must try it again sometime as most of my work is on German paint. What pads are you polishing / finishing with?



Great job all the same. Nice results are always..... niiiice!

Looks mint!

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you guys very much.



Yes I do like UNO with the flex. What was the issue for you?



I usually cut with wool, and finish with red/blue or black pads
