Hey guys and gals, here's a Lemans blue 335i. This one was done the same weekend as the black CTS-V, as you will see it in some of the pics.



I was approached by a member over on E90post about doing a correction on his car. He's Military and spends a lot of time overseas, and the car sits outside for long periods of time. He was not only interested in restoring the paint to it's former glory, but making sure it was protected against the elements as well. After multiple emails, we settled on my multi stage correction and Opti Coating treatment. Good choice Mike!:buttrock



After I worked my magic on the paint, David of Pro Shield wrapped the front end in a Venture Shield clear bra.

  • Meguiar's APC
