Clean tires /wheels apc+ 1:10 , dress with tire gel , wheels got klasse
Paint thickness taken , test spot : with rotary meg 80 and finish pad is 50% remove , so ik went with 80 on polish pad fallow by meg 205 on da and finish pad. This wasn`t schedule for full correction.
Tape everything , Wetsand 3k 3 areas and buff with 83 meg on polish pad.
Windows in /out, seal paint and add an nxt2 wax and spray qd with polymers for long lasting results.
Interior , got natural dressing , and vacuum , seats got cleaner and conditioner.
Clear bra got rejex but I have to go back and remove stain water marks , I didn`t have the stuff for it with me.






3 scratches before/after view ,
this one was too deep but manage to get it hard to see.needs touch up paint












paint thickness was taken around the car , I think hood and trunk was aluminum , and front and rear bumpers plastic/or fiber , and ¼ front panels was plastic/or fiber too. Few thin spots but overall in good shape , is `09

WOW. Can't believe someone could let an 09 M3 get that bad that fast. I guess if you really have the money, you don't care, but I would assume anyone buying an M3 is an enthusiast and therefore would like to care for / enjoy his car.
