    I have always loved these M3's and almost bought one but we ended up with the 335i since it was a better choice for the wife. This is one of the nicest color cpbo's out there with the red interior.

    I wasn't able to capture the flaws via a picture but this car was HORRIBLE. I actually had to polish it with my rotary and a Black Edge Wool Pad. I used both M105 and 3M 05093 which is my all time favorite. I have to say that the M105 is a very nice compound and I am glad to see Meguiars putting out a good product again. Here are a few in progress shots.

    It is polishing up nicely. I even had to sand a few areas with 3000 to remove some deep scratches.

    After the 105 I went to a Green Foam Edge pad and some Menzerna PO106ff.

    Next I pulled it out to inspect in the natural light and wash polishing dust off.

    Removed the tape and after a wash.

    Finished it up with a few coats of Zaino Z5p and CS/Z8. Spent most of my time on paint correction and didn't even touch the interior.

    Very nice work Frank! The M3 has a very nice gloss.

    Some of your pic links are not setup correctly.
