    2001 BMW M3, Paint Decon and Correction

    Justin and I did this one last weekend. The owner was on a tight budget so we chose to go with a 1-step correction that yielded more defect remove vs. optimal gloss...though D300 did finish down very well on this hard clear.

    Process:

    Wash - Foam bath mixed with CGCW and OPC mixture followed by a wash with CGCW.
    Wheels - Sonax FE and various brushes.
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
    Decon - IronX and TarX
    Clay - Blackfire Clay with M34 as lube
    Paint correction - D300 on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads (2 passes in several areas)
    Glass - Megs D120
    LSP - Blackfire Wet-Diamond


    IronX doing it's thing...









    Following up with TarX



    Agitating TarX between panels






    Justin spent some time cleaning up all the jambs






    After the decon was all done the paint really came back to life again...it's amazing how much contaminated paint can effect the look of the paint on a car.





    Before paint condition





    Justin has a way of taking pics without me know it....me taping up the trim. Free plug for Optimum!



    50/50 shots






    Cleaning out very deep scratch by hand to lessen the appearance

    Amazing work guys! That M3 looks sick!

    Chad, the paint already looks perfect. Do you think that doing an additional step will yield a higher gloss finish? After all, the paint is white. Thanks!

    Thanks Marc!

    An additional step would definitely add some gloss, but being white it wouldn't be very noticeable, especially if you didn't have a 50/50 shot to compare. I explained to the owner his options (more correction or more gloss) and he agreed with more correction.
