Detailer's Domain: e90 M3 Full Correction/Full Interior

A 2009 BMW M3, okay no bashing the customer has absolutely no time in to keep up with this car. It sits outside and its a daily driven car. He's in the field and he lives in it. So after this full paint correction inside and out he has agreed to give us the car every Friday to upkeep it and keep it looking like this.

Take a look.

What was done -
Exterior

- Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels were protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
- Tires dressed with einszett Vinyl Rubber Care
- Masking
- 2 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Green, and Menzerna PO106FA with an Uber Blue)
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Menzerna Power Lock
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

vinyl/plastic surfaces.

Again....amazing work. Glad you got the owner to agree to have you give it the once over a week to maintain.

I *love* that someone uses this as their DD/"in the field" vehicle. If I had to do that for my job, I'd try to make sure that this is the way I did it!
