BMW 328i M Sport receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.
This beautiful brand new estoril blue BMW 328i M Sport receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.
The car was received relatively clean, however we found hair line scratches in clusters, some light swirls and marring from washes, and the b pillars were the normal lightly scratched and scuffed up piano black we have come accustomed to on cars with these type of trim pieces.
The final results were great and I believe the customer was quite happy with the work performed.

Thanks for taking a look at this, I hope you enjoyed!
hey i have a 2010 BMW M3 with turbo upgrade, and i was wondering how and what exactly you guys do and use to clean the exhaust tips. I have an upgraded exhaust, and i cant polish the outside, but the inner barrel, i can never get it that clean
some metal polish should do the trick.
Auto Finesse Mercury Polish will work – http://detailersdomain.com/Auto-Finesse-Mercury–Metal-Polish_p_802.html
