    this beautiful (but pretty dirty) 2009 M3 made a quick pit stop for correction and Opti Coat.

    After a thorough wash the paint looked a lot better

    With the Rupes and a compound it started to improve

    I finished the paint around 3 am so I only took a couple of pictures before retiring for the night. There were still little details to be done in the morning before I went to pick up the customer from the rental agency.

    I got up at 8 this morning to finish up all the small details

    Tires were dressed, exhaust polished, license plate cleaned etc...

    Final result

    Looks great! I'm loving the reflections. The tire dressing you used looks good, do you mind me asking what you used on them?

    Thank you both! The tires received 3D's TRIM CARE - it is like a tire gel, but has no smell.
