Detailer's Domain: BMW M3 Paint Correction Detail
This was an exterior paint correction/engine detail. Great customer! What's there to say had some really bad swirls and needed to be clayed!

Its an e46 M3 in Carbon Black. I used SIP to knock out the swirls and polished it out with PO85RD. The Last Step was Swissvax Blau Weiss.

Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the Cam Spray Foam Canon
Adam's Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
Menzerna Super Intensive with the Uber Orange Pad
Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Swissvax Blau Weiss
Einszett Spray Wax

Wheels and Tires
Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit

Engine: (no photos)
P21S Total Autowash
Adam's VRT Diluted with Water in a Spray bottle

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Brinkmann MaxFire
Metabo PE12-175
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
Uber Drying Towels
Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun

Beautiful as always Just curious, how long do you let the car "soak" after blasting it with the foam cannon?
