Detailer's Domain: e90 M3 Paint Correction/Full interior

A 2009 BMW M3, okay no bashing the customer has absolutely no time in to keep up with this car. It sits outside and its a daily driven car. He's in the field and he lives in it. So after this full paint correction inside and out he has agreed to give us the car every Friday to upkeep it and keep it looking like this.

Take a look.

- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels were protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
- Tires dressed with einszett Vinyl Rubber Care
