Detailer's Domain: e46 M3 Carbon Black/Swissvax

This was an exterior paint correction/engine detail. Great customer! What's there to say had some really bad swirls and needed to be clayed!



Its an e46 M3 in Carbon Black. I used SIP to knock out the swirls and polished it out with PO85RD. The Last Step was Swissvax Blau Weiss.
