Forum member "GoBlue" and I first met about 3 years ago when I corrected his S52 M Roadster. Since then Todd and I have stayed in touch, and when he picked up this '88 HennaRot M3, it was scheduled for a bit of TLC. This car is almost 26 years old, and is nearing 200,000 miles on the odometer. It's spent it's recent life as a track car, and sports a Euro S50B32 motor. The exterior had seen better days and was heavily oxidized. After going over our options, Todd decided on a single stage paint correction to rid the surface of oxidation, clean up some of the swirling, and substantially punch up the gloss! I also fully degreased and cleaned up the engine bay while the car was in.

50/50s on the hood, for some reason the light didn't turn out well. The in person results were DRAMATIC, though the photos don't exactly show it
