SpeedFreak Detailed: another Silver Grey E46 M3 correction/Interior/Engine

[SpeedFreak81]

I've been getting a lot of business on the Bimmer Alliance group on facebook lately. This client had been asking for a high end detailer in the group and I came recommended by a few past customers and friends. This E46 M3 has covered 135k miles over the past 11 years, and been through a full respray at one point. The finish was dull and lifeless, and could have used a multi stage correction. However, after assessing the client's goals a one step was more in line with what he wanted. We also decided to spruce up the engine bay and interior while at it.

[Sicoupe]

Looks awesome Brian!:)

[Dellinger]

Brian,

The BMW looks very, very good for a one-step. Right on man!

Adapt looks promising!

Did you use Total for interior or exterior? (Or both?)

-Gabe

[davey g-force]

That looks great - nice work! :xyxthumbs:

What do you think of the Adapt?

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Beautiful work on that e46 M3 Brian! Looking gorgeous!

[SpeedFreak81]

Thanks guys! I'm really liking Adapt. It's got a pretty substantial amount of cut and finishes out extremely well.

I one stepped a soft/6 month old black '67 Camaro with it and turned out great!
