Today we have here with us not the usual BMW F30, it came in the signature BMW E46 M3 Estoril Blue. Being this unique blue, we were given the opportunity to detail and Opti-Coat this sweet ride.

Upon arrival we saw a clean and good looking paint condition from a distance.

When we looked closer, we saw the usual dirt and sand from driving the car as a daily ride.

The glass was stained without water beading and covered in watermarks.

As we inspected closer, we found alot of tar spots covered everywhere.

The exhaust tips were covered in carbon.
