Detailer's Domain: E46 M3 Paint Correction
This car came from a customer on one of the BMW forums we sponsor. She was great extremely friendly and a hardcore car enthusiast!
She actually stayed pretty much thru 90% of the paint correction process.
The car was pretty beat up unfortunately it is parked outside and was not taken care of by the previous owner.
The customer wanted to make it perfect so we gave it some love.....take a look.

I have always used soft scrub, NON BLEACH, to clean all the convertible roofs, with the help of a soft detail brush to remove the deep grime and dirt from withing the cracks and crevises.
