E46 M3 20 hour detail- Premier Shine

[premiershine9]

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.

Total time to complete 20 hours

So if you're on the way to the shoot and the car in front of you decides to wash their windshield...how pissed do you get?
