This is an 07 Midnight Blue Metallic Porsche Carrera S. This is one of the richer, more complex colors I've ever worked with. Upon first seeing the car, I noticed the extremely dull paint alongside moderate swirling on every single panel. After polishing, the paint burst to life, revealing a deep metallic blue with hints of lavender.

I detailed this R8 a few weeks ago and haven't had the time to upload the pictures, but now they're finally up. This car had scratches on the roof and swirling on the rear turn signal housing. Both issues were corrected prior to a full wax and seal.

This 08 Melbourne Red M3 came to me in horrible shape. The owner left it to sit outside every night by a sprinkler system, which resulted in some of the worst water spots I've ever seen. Job took well over 20 hours to complete.

This car was littered with etched in water spots and dirt that was practically glued onto the paint:



Severe water spotting on hood. Keep in mind that the following pictures are after two pre-soaks, a sponge wash, and clay bar treatment.

This next detail is a 2004 Carbon Black E46 M3. It had severe swirling and what looked like color sanding marks from prior body work. Total time to complete this job was 14 hours. I do not have after pictures of the entire car, as I finished close to 1 AM.

This car was filled with plenty of RIDS and swirls thanks to a weekly run through a machine wash. A yellow LC pad with Megs 105 on a Metabo took care of most of these issues.

Even though this is practically a brand new car, the paint showed swirls, RIDS, and extremely dull paint from driving in lousy Northeast winter weather.

This is a board member's 08 Interlagos Blue M3. He did not request a polish being the car is brand new.



Left side polished, right side untouched.

 

This is user h1d's 09 E92 M3. It came to me basically in perfect condition, with only a light claying, wax, and sealant needed. Finished this detail at about 9 PM, so not too many pictures came out correctly thanks to the darkness.

This is OC kid's 2008 SSII M3. Overall, the car was in pretty good shape when it arrived. The CF roof on the other hand was a mess. The resin the roof uses is extremely sensitive to any type of contact compared to the clear coat on the rest of the car. The video in the above link illustrates the transformation the roof went through after several passes of Megs M105 and SIP. Ignore the bits of lint on the right side of the roof, as they were wiped off immediately after the video was taken.

This is user rickc's 2008 AW M3. The paint was dull, had minor swirling, waterspots, and bird dropping etchings. The job took approximately twelve hours.



Left half polished, right half not polished.

Not too many pictures in this update because the screen on my camera broke and most of the pictures didn't turn out too well. This extensive paint correction took 11 hours. Paint was full of swirls w/ two RIDS on the hood.

This detail was performed in New Canaan, CT. Of the three details I had scheduled for my NY/CT tour, this was the only detail I performed as the other two appointments got snowed in. A Sapphire Black 328 coupe, it had severe swirling on the entire body. Took 12 hours to complete.

This is an 09 Jet Black M3 with 221 miles on it. It had very few issues, so there's not much to talk about in terms of corrections.



Deep scratch in the passenger side door. Had to break out the heavy duty polish:



Scratch completely removed:

 

With this next detail, my camera battery died right after I finished claying the car. I still wanted to post it up being it's an Individual color: Titanium Silver.
