Customer contacted me, was local, and asked for a full paint correction and interior wipedown, plus wheel polish, exhaust polish and engine bay cleaning. I actually had severe allergic reactions while detailing this car halfway through and was sent to the ER for a little while, unsure at this point if it was the detailing products or something I ate. I'm doing okay now and the M3 came out great, so onto the writeup!

What was done:
- Before pictures
- Wheels hit with Sonax full effect and iron x
- Tires treated with Adams APC and prima nero
- Engine sprayed down and treated with in and out spray
- De-Bugged with 1Z Bug and Tar Remover
