2004 BMW M3 in Glossed up White by DJ Mayo

Not going to do a crazy write up on this one but the car looked awesome having the appropriate time put into the paint. This one took about 12 hours from start to finish. The paint was nice to work with as it wasn't too hard to cut yet wasn't soft enough to scratch up. Claying alone took nearly 2 hours as the rear was covered in rail dust and other contamination.



As always, I start with a Citrus Wash Foam to help loosen up the dirt before doing a wash

Here is a close up of the rear that needed Clay Magic Red to remove

Don't forget to remove the plates and take the same steps

Late afternoon the sun peaked through the shop doors the right way and really showed the condition of the white paint

Lookin good as always.



EZ creme glaze -

Do you like it for certain colors or, is it your go to for all colors?
 
It's funny -- white is often an overlooked color in terms of shine, but when it is clean, it looks so nice!



Slick looking M3!

Looking sweet as usual DJ! How was Columbus?



It was a good time, Jacob. We got a lot of work done in a short period of time. A few hammered cars (Rolls Royce, Maserati, Ferrari) were transformed. Next time I make my way up, maybe you can come down for a day. Thanks again buddy.

damn . . . . . never seen white look so good.



Thanks Tyson, PM Replied.
 
Looks great DJ!



Amazing how much rail dust was on that thing...



White looks so nice when done right. Awesome work!!
 
More great work DJ. The "purity" of white properly prepped and polished is always second to none. Add in your outstanding photography and artistic touch and this e46 is truly beautiful. Nicely done!

I'd definitely be in for a trifecta attack on some fine automobile art.
 
Love that license plate pic. If that doesn't teach you the importance of removing the plate, I don't know what will.
