    Detailer's Domain: BMW M3 Competition Package - Alpine White

    This beautiful BMW M3 e92 Competition Package car came to us for the full works on the exterior prior to leaving the NY/NJ for a new life in the southwestern part of the country.
    The best part is the car came to us cleaned up so there isn't much for us to show in the prep except for the quick wash and decon. We tested out the Sonax Fallout Remover for the decon step, a new product we hope to have in 2014. Since the car spent all of its life in the tristate we expected the usual: fallout, rail dust, and various contaminants.

    We also used the Sonax Multi Star on this car, on the motor, bug and tar, as well as cleaning up the tires.

    Fantastic. By the way, is it possible to buff out the shadowline on the ZHP? Mine looks real bad.
    In the market for an E90 M3

    Saw you were using yellow pads, did the car need a paint correction?
