dsms detail - BMW M3 carbon black correction

This car is a daily driver in carbon black.

Started with the wheels and tires: P21s gel, ARO, Tardis and various brushes used

Before



After



Fine clay, not too bad



Taped the car off, think I have enough neon going on? looks like studio 54:doh:



I was aiming for around 95% correction due to the time i had to work with the car. 3 step correction was used, M105, Powerfinish/205 and then 87mc.

Working powerfinish









Before



After





50/50 front bumper



One deep scratch needed sanding, before



During





After



Rear fender before



After



Rear bumper needed a few compounding hits







LP area before



During



After



Corrected the rest of the trunk area



DD yellow cutting pad compouding, more I use this pad more I like it



Middle step finishing



After final finishing (P203s wasnt used for this just pictured it on the car)



Cleaned up the tailpipes, Supersprint race exhaust on this car; heard it after the owner got it installed and it sounds perfect for the M3.





Tocuhed up the wheels and then sealed them with Rejex





Final shots, first time in a while I finished a car in the morning with time for pictures. Some people feel I dont post sun pics but as I state all the time, when there is strong sun after correction I post direct sun shots.

very nice work ... well done

 

Amazing work, Dave! Did you use MF towel on a brush to REMOVE sealant?

 

Nice job Dave!

 

Great work!

One question, why do you switch from the rotary to the da? It seems most people use one or the other?

 

very nice Dave. The car came out great!

 

Excellent work as to be expected Dave, thanks for sharing :thumb:

What BP are you using for the spots pads if I may ask?

 

I think maybe couse da is good for lap and final polishing?

 

Looks awesome Dave, nice turnout!

 

Great work Dave car came out sweet as always

 

Looks great as usual David!

 

I did most of the cutting with the rotary, switched to the DA for medium polishing because I can make my way around a car much faster with it. People underestimate the power of the DA, with good pressue you can definately do nice correction work.

I almost never finish with the DA, I prefer the rotary for that.

Thanks, the BP is the deatailersdomain 3", works great and is pretty much indestructible.
