BMW M3 PAINT CORRECTION
“Two steps to a much better finish”
Received a call from a shop I do work for and he needed things done ASAP! I rearranged my schedule for the next few days and made it happen! This car was absolutely trashed from front to back, and top to bottom! Only thing I touched was the exterior as I was pressed for time on this one!
Wash process from start to finish:
Engine prerinse
Engine degrease/scrub
Engine pressure wash
Blow Dry
Pre-rinse paint to knock off as much dirt as possible
Foaming of car to start the breakdown of grime
Washed with paint protection stripping solution
Pressure washed off
Apply wheel cleaner
Agitate with brushes
Pressure wash clean
Blow dry
Towel dry
Dress tires
Paint correction process:
Decontaminate paint and windows with clay
Wipe paint with alcohol to remove clay lube residue
Tape off trim
Test section to figure out a process
Compound paint (once around)
Polish paint (once around)
Remove tape from trim
Clean trim
Clean paint
Wax paint/condition trim
Split shot before and afters from the two steps of correction:
After 10 hours of non-stop work in order to get the car done ASAP.
Owner was very please with the final result of more corrected paint (90% scratches and swirl marks removed), and the immensely amplified gloss factor on this car! The color gleams with depth and wetness once it was completed! Its now ready to look better racing around the track!
