    Customer contacted me, was local, and asked for a full paint correction and interior wipedown, plus wheel polish, exhaust polish and engine bay cleaning. I actually had severe allergic reactions while detailing this car halfway through and was sent to the ER for a little while, unsure at this point if it was the detailing products or something I ate. I'm doing okay now and the M3 came out great, so onto the writeup!

    It's ridiculously good. First car we used it on, worked wonders. Used it with 1Z Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
