3 weeks old 2006 M3 with EVERY available option. Wheels/exhaust/H&R springs are aftermarket.

Another free detail for the owner of the shop. Didn't touch the interior. Sorry about the lack of outdoor pictures - it was raining on & off.

I think the paint came out looking awesome. Very slick as well.

He isn't my boss. He just sends me lots of clients. In return, I semi take care of his rides.

The original pictures without all the ghosting look so much better.

Thanks! I am not sure. I'll check it next time (friday) Sound awesome and I also love the F1 style tranny. In this car the steering wheel is covered in suede
 
Very nice job!! No matter how much it costs.

Had the pleasure of doing an older M3 this last summer. I found the paint very hard. I had a very difficult time getting water etching marks off the paint. Is that the case with you?

Thanks man - I am not sure how much the OCW added to the finish look wise but I felt like playing around. I really like #1000 - very slick.

Awesome BMW's! My buddy has an M3 and it's flat out amazing. The new model looks even better. Do you get to test drive them?

I tried #1000 on my front end last night, and agree that it's very slick! Have you used it long enough to determine the durability? It claims to be as durable as a sealer, but I have no idea if that holds water.

It would be nice to detail a new car for a change. I get stuck with swamp runners and tar haulers :)
 
Thanks everyone!

mgm2003 - I've had used #1000 for awhile and so far it lives up to it's reputation. Most durable wax I've used so far. It is an all synthetic product btw. Lasts a long time.

cwcad - No paint correction on the white M3. The X5 had a pretty deep scretch on the hood when it was brand new that I had to work for awhile. There is a Carbon black M3 that I do weekly that seems to be softer.
