Default Detailer's Domain: M3 and Swissvax Crystal Rock

This one was a treat the customer drove up from North Carolina! (of course he was heading back up to NJ to visit his family and store his M3 before he was deployed)
I was honored that he did pick me though. The car sat in NC near the beach so sand and ocean spray on top of hard water, so the expected swirls and water etching all over. The plan of attack was to wash/clay/SIP/ PO85rd. the last step was Swissvax Cleaner Fluid finishing it off with Swissvax Crystal Rock
As for the interior a vac /leather clean/conditioning and a wipe down.
Below are the tools and products used:

Pics will never ever ever show it. Only in real life will you see how good a wax/sealant really looks. See DaveKG's thread on the subject.
