Concours Finish Detailed: 2005 BMW M3 Alpine White
Owner just bought a 2005 M3 and wanted me to restore the paint and interior. He recently decided to sell his S2000 and has now come over the dark side(euro) but he is still retaining some JDM roots with Volks. It was in pristine condition after I worked on it until his neighbor decided to lower its resale value! 
Pics below.

Prima Mystique diluted 6:1 foam cannon

Wash products. Prima Mystique in 1 oz squeeze bottle for foam cannon and soap bucket. P21S TAW for pre-wash degreaser

The owner lives in an town home complex where all the garages are lined up along an alley and people usually back up to get out. So as I was applying the wax, the neighbor was backing out his Toyota Sequoia and BOOM!
The culprit.
The owner has always babied this car and now he has to report that its been in an accident right before he sells it.
Back to the detail now. here are some afters
Unique choice in putting japanese wheels on a german car. Volks are light only 18 lbs per wheel in front and 19 lbs in back.
