BMW M3 PAINT CORRECTION
“Two steps to a much better finish”

Received a call from a shop I do work for and he needed things done ASAP! I rearranged my schedule for the next few days and made it happen! This car was absolutely trashed from front to back, and top to bottom! Only thing I touched was the exterior as I was pressed for time on this one!

Wash process from start to finish:
Engine prerinse
Engine degrease/scrub
Engine pressure wash

Pre-rinse paint to knock off as much dirt as possible

After 10 hours of non-stop work in order to get the car done ASAP.









Owner was very please with the final result of more corrected paint (90% scratches and swirl marks removed), and the immensely amplified gloss factor on this car! The color gleams with depth and wetness once it was completed! Its now ready to look better racing around the track!
