2008 M3 Correction and Opti Coat - Auto Salon Works

[drew935]

Car had a lot of tar build up.

Not a lot of pics before as I needed to get down to business. There was marring on several areas of the car and polished the clear bra as well.

Paint wasn't too bad, just some marring.

After opti coat. Car is so bright that my camera is lowering the ISO and giving the car shadows and different shades of silver.

Andrew, did u use an AIO product or did you a light compound or medium polish and then the LSP? Very curious as I have a RX7 full correction this weekend in pretty bad shape and if I can get the job done with a 1 step...Paint on the M3 looked great in the "after" photos btw.

Scholls/ M105/ D300.
on the Rx-7, if the defects are deep, you will not be able to remove them unless you use M101/ S3 Gold. The clear coat is med-hard. The bottom half can be done in 1-step as it has a texture to it, but there may be haze on the rest of the car.

Here an RX-7 that I did:
