I was contacted by the owner to correct his jet black M3 after letting him know my pricing structure we went with a single step correction. Upon receiving the M3 it just seemed pretty rough yet normal for the age and paint type. After I washed and decontaminated the finish and brought it in under the halogens I was amazed to see how jacked up the finish was. I have to say it was horrible the whole thing looked like it was washed with an sos pad. After I got done taping I noticed the entire vehicle was poorly repainted due to the horrible orange peel, heavy compound residue in crevices, and paint over spray on the A-pillar moldings as well on other moldings throughout the vehicle. It even had clear coat failure in a small area on the roof. After testing on the hood I went with Menzerna FG400 Uber Greens & Hydrotech Tangerine pads to get the best cut and clarity on this refinished M3. I can say that at least 75% correcting was achieved on this due to how bad the finish was. I didn't get any after shots because I returned it after sunset, yet the owner did take a few shots for me and sent them two days after I did the correction. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. Total time 12 hours spread out through friday to sunday last week.

that damage looked ridiculously deep! This is good proof that FG400, when used correctly is some powerful stuff. Great work!
