2006 BMW M3(With Factory CSL Parts) Correction
Just recently completed in the shop, this "New to my client" M3 is nice............the theme was everything CSL including the Carbon fiber Roof.
On to the work.
One of the wheels needed to be sent out for repair.
Just a little bit of road grime.
The wheel repair guys love me because I send them the wheels to be repaired like this............. after the wheel came back the rest of the wheel weight residue was removed as they only painted the face this time.
Underside of the car had a "Layer of dirt".
As the entire car was re-sprayed, I would later find quite a bit of "Sand scratch tracers" which are worse than DA sand scratches...............and the tracers were deep in some areas due to dry paper and too much pressure.
Car is lighter now with the removal of the mud bath it took.
Close up of the defects.
Making good progress during the heavy compounding step.
Another example of the deep marring/RIDS.
Trim was looking awful.
Trunk 50/50.
Left driverside rear quarter.
Levelled but with compounding hazing to be polished out.

Cowl area with marring.
Defects levelled.
RIDS near trunk keyhole.
Making headway.
Rear bumper was especially messed up, as bad as it gets.
Cleaning up the severe defects.
50/50 on the topside of the rear bumper.
More defects on the passengerside door.
Previously mentioned sand tracers near gas filler door.
After heavy corrective steps.
Evidence of the re-spray(Other than the sand scratches that is) with a smooth texture devoid of the usual heavy orange peel on factory BMW finishes.
Mirror during medium polishing step.
Fine polished.
Crusty dry wheel wells.
Much better....to show the KW tightness.
Had a deadline to keep..........so sometimes a "All nighter" is required.
Purple like substance all over the Nav screen, so here is 50/50 to show just how bad it was.
A very slight amount around the leading edge of the screen was just not coming off(1.5 hrs later).
