Oakes Detailed: 2011 BMW M3 Competition - Ceramic
An E90 M3 sedan equipped with the Competition Package came through for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating for this new vehicle. The paint was by no means in bad shape, however it did have a nano coating applied by the dealer that needed to be removed and had some water spotting and a few surface defects. The coating was easily removed in the prep process unfortunately.
We also removed the wheels and ceramic coated them to ensure protection and easy cleaning from here on out. As you may know BMWs are notorious for their heavy brake dusting and with the multiple spokes on the competition wheels it was a no brainer.
The owner keeps immaculate care of the car, so the befores aren't eventful aside from the wheels, just surface defects that normal cleaning and light polishing couldnt remove. Here are the pics!

Another great detail there. Must say I agree with the heavy brake dust which BM's create!
