E46 M3 20 hour detail- Premier Shine - premiershine9 - 04-09-2012 Hey all, spent around 20 hours with this Imola Red E46 M3 that received a full correctional detail/interior treatment as well. The car had some pretty moderate defects and swirls, only real main concern was the 4 and a half foot long key mark that I had to fill in with touch up paint using the blob technique, let sit for 24 hours, wetsand and then polish out.
