Detailer`s Domain: BMW M3 Competition Package - Alpine White

[DetailersDomain]

This beautiful BMW M3 e92 Competition Package car came to us for the full works on the exterior prior to leaving the NY/NJ for a new life in the southwestern part of the country.

The best part is the car came to us cleaned up so there isn`t much for us to show in the prep except for the quick wash and decon. We tested out the Sonax Fallout Remover for the decon step, a new product we hope to have in 2014. Since the car spent all of its life in the tristate we expected the usual: fallout, rail dust, and various contaminants.



We also used the Sonax Multi Star on this car, on the motor, bug and tar, as well as cleaning up the tires.

you can get the shirts here click here (https://detailersdomain.com/Detailers-Domain-Id-Wax-That-T-Shirt--Black-_p_933.html)

[Catch-22]

Nice work. One of my all time favorite cars. You guys sell products and detail cars? That has to have some perks.

[DetailersDomain]

it`s good because we get to test some products for manufactures that sometimes never make it and some that are extremely hot now.



the best perk for our customers is we only sell what we use.

[Catch-22]

Good to know.I will check you guys out.

[DetailersDomain]

we have been around for quite sometime as well as a sponsor here for awhile now.

[Scottwax]

Looks awesome in the after shots!

[DetailersDomain]
