    e36 m3 correction VERY HARD CLEAR COAT

    I received this car on saturday morning. She had almost no shine and looked very dull. She had never been detailed just a occasional wash and wax here and there. This car had one of the hardest clear coats ive came across in quite some time. I tried the DA with the mf system but to no avail. I then threw on m105 on the mf pad and it didnt budge a single swirl. So I pulled out my rotary with a purple foam wool pad. I attempted to use menzerna power gloss but it didnt really do much. I switched over to m105 using the kevin brown method. this car was definitely a challenge. It received a 3 step correction and a full interior.

    Nice job. Most of the time I go straight to wool when I hear E36.
    There is vast amounts of knowledge at your fingertips, use Google, Youtube, and the search button.

    He told you that's never been painted?? Doesn't look factory. Good job man!

    With the paint correction and the headlight restore, that guy probably shat himself when he saw that!
