1999 BMW M3 convertible

[sevenrd]

The owner left this car with me while they went on vacation. It was really nice having the extra time and being able to work on it for just a few hours a day, rather than spending one full tiring day with it. This car was a respray with very soft clear.

Very nice job!! Great turn-around. Love the metal flake paint on that one.

WOW, I have that exact car, and I'm just catching the detailing bug, and I hope I can get my car looking as good as this one.

I just did an exact same one but on a 325i, I wish i had a better camera on me though. 106ff works wonders on the car doesn't it?!
