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

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.

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

Great gloss!... love the door shots (after).  


 


I bet the owner was 'sick' that he had to take the M3 back to Alaska after the roads (near me anyway) have been just soaked lately from de-icer and gravel.  I was just on I-205 today and it did have some accumulation of 'muck' typical after we get ice/ snow.
