E46 M3 in for a 1-step
"plus" correction and PPF removal. The "plus" part is because I wanted to try the new CarPro Essence sample so I step up my correction step and used Essence as a finishing polish to refine the paint and amp up the gloss.
When I finished working late last Saturday night on this car I still had to do the windows, exhaust, and a few other misc items and planned to take full car after pics when I was done. Unfortunately delivery of the car was pushed out to 4 days later and I had forgotten to take after pics with my SLR, so all I have is a few with my iPhone after I was done polishing.
Process:
Wash - ONR
Wheels - Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus & various brushes.
Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
Tar Removal - Tarminator
Paint Prep - Nanos Skin Towel and Glide as lube
Paint Correction - Groit`s Fast Correct Cream on the G21 with Griot`s MF BOSS pads followed by Essence on the G21 with yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupes LHR75e
Exhaust - Optimum Metal Polish
LSP - Decided to top Essence with 22ple VS1 at the last minute.
PPF FUN!
NOT!
A little over an hour later...
