\|/ Eclipsis Detailed: Three E9* M3's \|/

These three E9* M3's were completed late last year and I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the work. Of the three cars, the Jerez Black E90 M3 was definitely in the worst shape, even though it had the least amount of mileage (6,000 miles).

Rear wheel removed. The brake dust was baked onto the wheel's interior:



Chemical Guys Citrus Wheel Cleaner and Swissvax Wheel Brush removed most of the brake dust. Elastic European clay was brought out to finish the job:



Car #2: 2009 Space Gray E90 M3. Foam cannon:



Polished and ready for clear bra install:



Laser pointer used to retain paint measurement position on hood (Position 1):



Paint depth reading on hood near laser point position (Position 1; 104 microns; see red line) prior to polishing:



After polishing (Position 1):



Paint depth reading on hood near laser point position (Position 1; 100 microns; see red line) after polishing:
