This fantastic F80 M3 Competition came in for a long term protection treatment.
The car had only done 306 miles when it arrived, but it had been a pre-registered car sat on a dealership's forecourt for many months and picked up a good selection of swirls and little marks.

The owner wanted the best possible result with long term protection, so the order of the detail:

Full safe wash and decontamination
Major Enhancement Detail (2 Stage machine polish)
Wheels off package (ceramic coated inside and out, brake calipers coated)
Ceramic Pro 9H - 3 layers
Ceramic Pro Light
Ceramic Pro Rain on all exterior glass
Interior cleaned and protective products applied to all fabrics, leather and plastics.

On arrival

The car was taken inside to be clayed and dried using plush towels and warm filtered air.

The car was masked up to protect sensitive areas and dust traps.
Paint depths checked and onto polishing.
