Recently completed job in the shop, Alpine White with every mod almost that can be installed on a late model M3

The vehicle had some paint work done and the finish was not "finished down", with sand scratches and deep tracers along with built up marring.



After a wash/Iron X/clay step i proceeded to the paint correction ....
