Hellrot Red M3 by Poor-Boys
#1
This car was an absolute pleasure to work on, it is a 1994 model and is in pristine condition, very light swirls and some RIDS, but nothing major. The paint also had a very slight bit of oxidation, which was only noticeable when an unpolished section was compared to a polished section of paint.

Firstly, I just had to take this pic and show you guys

I found it extremely difficult to capture the swirls on this colour, the camera couldnt seem to focus on them, but kept trying to focus on the background, this is what I could come up with:

We tried some new stuff this time around and took some pieces off the bootlid so that we could really polish properly and get in everywhere to clean

Got a before and after of the driver side mirror

Then just a whole bunch of after shots:
We decided to top this one off with chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax, to bring up the deep red gloss

And now for something different......

I thought I would try out a vid of the finished product as well, just to show how the reflections warped and moved on the panels Bluebiggrin

Please let me know what you think of the vid, maybe I will make more going forward if you guys like it.
