Detailer's Domain: BMW M3 e90 Paint Correction/Full Interior

A 2009 BMW M3, okay no bashing the customer has absolutely no time in to keep up with this car. It sits outside and its a daily driven car. He's in the field and he lives in it.

I'm sorry and I know you said no bashing the customer, but seriously, that interior is pretty nasty. I thought a minor milk spill on the driver's seat in the 125 was bad (luckily i carry cloths and leather cleaner with me).

But c'mon, it is pretty worse-for-wear.

Regardless, what a job!!!! It looks absolutely stunning! 12/10

I just bought a brand new 2011 135 and want to start out right regarding keeping it clean, especially paint protection. What recommendations due you have?

Thanks,

Rick
