is an 2003 BMW M3 , good shape . the paint has swirlmars all over. after few test spots we decide 2 steps correction will be the best.
process:
- wheels : wash with p21s and hyper soap , dress with endurance tire gel (meguiar`s) , wheels got klasse aio.
- wash with ONR and 2 buckets
- claybar with ONR as lube
- headlights has clear film and was buff with plastX and a foam pad (multiple rock chips on it)
- green tape all the chrome , clear bra edge , trims , badge etc
- compound with meguiar`s 105 and cutting foam pad on DA
- polish with meguiar`s 205 and polish foam pad on DA
- protection was 2x optimum car wax spray
- interior got leather protectant same on vinyl
- windows clean in/out
- carpets was clean with 4:1 apc+ (meguiar`s all purpose cleaner plus) and DA with a brush attach.
- clear bra got plexus
- exhaust metal polish , seal with klasse aio
Working in full light was "painfull" because the reflectivity but help to correct the paint up to 90% . for white cars i may have to use a diff camera.

My Ride: 2008 535i
WELL Done, had the identical car a few years ago and yours look like mine did when I bought it with 7k miles on it. You chose some good products. I like 3M myself and it normally works very well. I now have an 08 535i that I just got recently. Will treat it with the similar products.
BTW have an '05 R1, I dont know what yours is, but I'm sure it's nice!
