Making lighter colored paints POP!!!

Lighter colored vehicles are often very difficult to achieve a very deep wet gloss like jet black can produce. Todd defies the odds during this detail by making SGM look dripping wet. Read the entire BMW M3 article and detailed information here.

Some teaser shots:




Thanks for looking!

CLK 500
Great job on the detail. I'd like to try out the Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant in my silver CLK. How many coats did you apply on the M3?

The detail was done by Todd from Esoteric Detail so I'm honestly sure. From what I've read it seems like one coat of the Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - 16 oz. It's an excellent sealant that is super durable and very sharp looking. It applies with ease and and you only need about 1oz per coat. Let me know if you have questions.
