Where to start....swirls, swirls, and more SWIRLS! This 2011 Jerez Black E92 M3 suffered from some of the worst wash/dry induced swirl marks I have ever seen. Pictures, while telling, do it no justice. The owner likes his car clean, and was unaware of the damage that the local detail booth was inflicting. After viewing the car in person and discussing the reason the car looked the way it did, we went over his options. He had originally been interested in a one step polish, but due to the car's condition, we decided we'd better go all out! The car required about 3 full days worth of work, and I needed every minute of it! While the car was in I also tended to the interior as well.



The results are truly stunning, and the pictures speak for themselves. This Jerez Black beast has all the tools to be a magnificent machine, now it looks the part!

HAH! Thanks Thomas, though I still think the majority of your shots are far beyond what I get.
 
What the hell were they doing to that car??? OUTSTANDING result. The owner must have been blown away! WOW.
 
You did start the thread mentioning swirls, swirls and more swirls.....but mate, those were beyond swirls - they were almost proper scratches. Good job bringing that paint back from the death gate.

i noticed you mentioned you only using one buffer the entire time.....how do you fit the big rupes 21 in small sections like the trunk and around the license plate? and those tight sections of the front bumper?
