dsms detail - Carbon Black BMW M3 correction

[dsms]

This car is a daily driver in carbon black.



Started with the wheels and tires: P21s gel, ARO, Tardis and various brushes used



Before

After

Fine clay, not too bad

Taped the car off, think I have enough neon going on? looks like studio 54:doh:

I was aiming for around 95% correction due to the time i had to work with the car. 3 step correction was used



Working powerfinish

Before

After

50/50 front bumper

One deep scratch needed sanding, before

During

After

Rear fender before

After

Rear bumper needed a few compounding hits

 

[dsms]

LP area before

During

After

Corrected the rest of the trunk area

DD yellow cutting pad compouding, more I use this pad more I like it

Middle step finishing

After final finishing (P203s wasnt used for this just pictured it on the car)

Cleaned up the tailpipes, Supersprint race exhaust on this car; heard it after the owner got it installed and it sounds perfect for the M3.

Tocuhed up the wheels and then sealed them with Rejex

Final shots, first time in a while I finished a car in the morning with time for pictures. Some people feel I dont post sun pics but as I state all the time, when there is strong sun after correction I post direct sun shots.



LSP: JS109 x3

Taipipes got jetseal as well

Thanks for looking

Thanks for sharing.

 

[MarcHarris]

another example of your fine work, and i enjoyed the play-by-play as well.

What blue clay is that?

wow good work!

Nice job, looks like you got really close to 100% on this one.



Love that color, got a customer with a ZHP 330 the same color.

nice work and sick car. Your 50/50 shots seem to come out pretty good. I at times have trouble shooting them with shop lights and my Nikon D60.



BTW you are the first person in a long time that i have heard mentioning Rejex. Love that stuff . . . . it's in my arsenal of products.

I really like that color... Outstanding work! :2thumbs:

Top notch work as always David!

LOL! I guess some people must think we detail cars around the suns schedule, and that we always finish at the perfect time for sun shots! :nixweiss

I find you need to have the lights in your garage off and just light up the finish with halogens and you can snap some good 50/50s, plus placing the lights at an angle and shoot on an angle helps show more defect on metallics.

Top notch work as always David!

^^ You understand my point,. If the LED, halogen and some 50/50 videos I put up are not good enough than without sun shots I should be really considered worthless. :LOLOL

nice work, looks great!

Thanks DMW

I get these questions all the time, please understand I switch up machines all the time. I use the flex and metabo rotaries depedning on what I feel like, not because one is better than the other... they both have strong suits and downfalls. When my makita is fixed I will start using that with them as well.

THAT'S THE TICKET. GREAT JOB.:wow:

thanks

Fantastic work there. :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

thanks Thomas!
