    M3/Opti Coat before returning to Alaska

    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

    This is what the paint looked like though

    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.

    HD CUT and LC pink cutting pad
    HD POLISH Black pad
    Strong IPA
    Thick layer of Opti Coat

    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

    Thanks guys! Unfortunately, the car received some PDR work the day after and the paint received some scratches.
