M3/Opti Coat before returning to Alaska

[Thomas Dekany]

this beautiful (but pretty dirty) 2009 M3 made a quick pit stop for correction and Opti Coat.

After a thorough wash the paint looked a lot better

With the Rupes and a compound it started to improve

I finished the paint around 3 am so I only took a couple of pictures before retiring for the night. There were still little details to be done in the morning before I went to pick up the customer from the rental agency.

I got up at 8 this morning to finish up all the small details

Tires were dressed, exhaust polished, license plate cleaned etc...

Final result
