BMW M3 Paint Correction Detail

Detailers Domain · 09-24-2009, 09:25 AM

This one needed a bit of work....compound was needed to lighten up the etch marks but that being said they were not removed completely. The etching was in there good.

We had Menzerna and a Paint Guy look at this car when they were in for meetings and they both agreed that this car needed to be wetsanded down and re cleared it was pretty bad.

E46 M3 w/Comp package is still a sweet looking ride. S54 engine is a screamer.
