We got a call from Matt Stellas (aka mfatuation) shortly after Bimmerfest requesting a paint correction for this very special Santorini Blue M3. Apparently during transport back home to NJ, the car wash wiped down incorrectly. Take a look at the exterior paint correction.

We also opted for Auto Finesse Illusion due to its show car status.

Enjoy!

sweet... this is what i expect from DD, so try something a little more challenging, like an airplane... a Boeing 747. you already have the car detailing down to a science. have yet to see a detail from DD that was not outstanding. BTW i see you got the Audi you were telling me about. Nice...
