Black M3 Overspray Removal Detail
 

As the title states, this car had a little "Overspray" problem that the owner experienced while he was stationed overseas in the Navy. As he is a hard working sailor in the Naval Special Warfare Community I did my best to take care of him as I am prior "Blackshoe" Navy who rode Grey ships and his job is a LITTLE harder than that and he deserves a little something coming home as guys that do what he does do not get the pay or kudos they should.

Richie aka "The Bing" helped on this job, here is the initial pics of the overspray which in later pics you will see reached every possible crevice.

Conventional clay works great, but this is where the surface prep towel shines................ working sharp edges like the thin OE spoiler.

We finished the car late into the evening before the delivery next morning early, so it was a scramble to snap a few sun pics across the street where there was a sliver of sun poking thru.
