  • E46 M3 paint correction detail

    Postby Envy Valeting » Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:50 pm

    A 2 day, 2 stage paint correction detail was carried out on this Carbon black M3 by Envy Valeting last week. 1st one of these in a while, but in the past had rather a lot of them but its always a pleasure to do these.

    OK here we go anyway! I quoted this one when I was down in Poole doing the 1M coupe a few weeks back and I'm glad to say the owner decided to get the work done.

    The wheels were removed after cleaning and taken to a local place that re-polished and lacquered the faces as there was none present anymore.

    The wash process (no pics as time was tight) was my usual process of starting with the wheels, APC in door shuts, boot, fuel filler areas and followed by SSF, rinse and the TBM to wash. Rinse and dried ready to clay.

    The clay of choice was Dodo Gentle grey and was no real surprise!

    Image

    Once clayed the car was taken indoors, wheels removed and taken to be sorted elsewhere.

    Paint depth readings showed normal, so, some before pics of the victim!

    Work starts on the rear quarter...

    Unrefined

    I quickly settled on the Scholl Concepts S03 gold followed by menz final finish, polishing and refining each panel before moving onto the next.Wiping down in between sets with Eraser and checking work with the Sungun, halogens and brinkmann light sources.

    Some finishing touches

    The interior was detailed and leather treated to Dr Leathers wipes, glass cleaned, tailpipes polished, plastics, tyres dressed etc etc.

    Wax of choice was the mighty Dodo Supernatural, and here she is all buffed off and ready for the proud owner.....

    Many thanks, and yeah they do but I feel its more down to them being able to sit in the pub and say "I've got a ÂŁ1K car wax on my car.
    Personally I prefer the Zymol Vintage.
