M Kube detailed: Jet Black M3
Hello all :wave: This past weekend I got the chance to detail a nicely modded jet black E46 M3 which was brought in by a local forum member (really cool guy btw!). The JB paint was in need of a good polish as the previous "detailers" failed to correct the annoying swirl marks shown under sunlight. An engine detail was done well as a full interior cleanup. Just wanted to share with you all how a JB car should look. Enjoy!! :thumbsup2:
