The client lives in an town home complex where all the garages are lined up along an alley and people usually back up to get out. So as I was applying the wax, the neighbor was backing out his Toyota Sequoia and BOOM!

The culprit.

The client has always babied this car and now he has to report that its been in an accident right before he sells it.



Back to the detail now. here are some afters

Interesting choice in putting japanese wheels on a german car. To each his own.

Volk LE37's are one of the lightest forged wheels available for the E46 M3. Very agressive looking too with a nice BBK behind them.
