The wine country in Missouri is where I'll be. It's just a 6 hour drive for you. Come on down!

Can you get me some info for that? That might sound very intriguing for me. Last year, I went to Galena and did not see any fall colors at all.

Try some of these sights. The whole area in south and southwest Missouri is gorgeous. (Very near St. Louis) The two lane roads corkscrew through thick forest and beautiful countryside. The best spots for me include Hermann, MO where the Hermanhof winery is located. http://www.hermannhof.com/

You can also go to Augusta, MO, ride bikes on the KATY trail (crosses the state) and drink great wine at the wineries.

This car is a daily driver in carbon black.
Started with the wheels and tires: P21s gel, ARO, Tardis and various brushes used
Before
After
Fine clay, not too bad
Taped the car off, think I have enough neon going on? looks like studio 54:doh:
I was aiming for around 95% correction due to the time i had to work with the car. 3 step correction was used, M105, Powerfinish/205 and then 87mc.
Working powerfinish
Before
After
50/50 front bumper
One deep scratch needed sanding, before
During
After
Rear fender before
After
Rear bumper needed a few compounding hits
LP area before
During
After
Corrected the rest of the trunk area
DD yellow cutting pad compouding, more I use this pad more I like it
Middle step finishing
After final finishing (P203s wasnt used for this just pictured it on the car)
Cleaned up the tailpipes, Supersprint race exhaust on this car; heard it after the owner got it installed and it sounds perfect for the M3.
Tocuhed up the wheels and then sealed them with Rejex
Final shots, first time in a while I finished a car in the morning with time for pictures. Some people feel I dont post sun pics but as I state all the time, when there is strong sun after correction I post direct sun shots.
LSP: JS109 x3
Taipipes got jetseal as well
Thanks for looking

I did an E92 in the same color not too long ago, the paint is night and day! The newer water based BMW paints are terrible, the E46's really do clean up well in comparison!

Great correction work Dave, glad to see someone using 87mc! Great to M3's being work and corrected. Thank you for sharing with us.:clap:

I call BS, the photos are doctored!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this guy cannot correct at all. Look at the sun pictures for pete's sake as anyone knows their is no sun on the East Coast especially in New Jersey if anything Dave's photshop skills are the thing to be praised.
If all this sounds incredible, this is only a slight embellishment on how Dave is percieved on some sites, even after all the write ups he has done showing everystep and product he was questioned as a shill and his connection to GI and myself caused this......... ahhh I love the Internet "garbage in garbage out".
