DetailersDomain.com - Individual Color: Santorini Blue M3 gets more pop

We got a call from Matt Stellas (aka mfatuation) shortly after Bimmerfest requesting a paint correction for this very special Santorini Blue M3. Apparently during transport back home to NJ, the car wash wiped down incorrectly. Take a look at the exterior paint correction.

We also opted for Auto Finesse Illusion due to its show car status.

Enjoy!

- Tires cleaned with Sonax Multi Star
- Wheel wells were cleaned up
- Washed with Auto Finesse Avalanche in the Uber Foam Cannon
- Clayed with the New Uber Yellow Poly Clay and NanoSkin AutoScrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Dried
- Tires dressed

- Paint Measurement
- Compound - Menzerna Fast Gloss FG400
- Final Polish - Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6
