Modified BMW M3 Paint Correction & Detail
 

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 ....

Marring on the hood.
