[WCM3]

Hey guys,

This is the second detail that I promised. (First thread:http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...highlight=WCM3). After receiving comments back from the first detail, I really wanted to purchase some Menzerna products. However, I figured I would save a little money right now and use the remaining SSRs. I'm planning to buy the Merzerna before my Spring detail, as well as, a Flex. Please comment and let me know how it went.

To be honest, during the detail I was extremely fed up. My previous M3 was fairly easy to correct, and was 13 years old. I actually ended up searching bimmerforums, autopia, and e90post for suggestions on how to detail jet black. It would come up nice after the polishing, but then when I would wipe it with my microfiber it would cause faint marring. I'm going to be prepared in the spring to tackle this again, hopefully coming up with a different routine.
