Default Detailer's Domain and an E46 M3

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.

Hey buddy, how do you apply your black wow to the area where the windshield wipers connect to the car; under the front glass but before the top of the hood.

I seem to get sloppy there, I have tried by towel and by foam applicator.

Honestly I guess I take my time maybe and I guess I'm aware that the clean up sucks so I try harder to stay in the line..
