4 stage paint correction, protection and ceramic coat applied. The factory paint has a very hard finish, great to polish and really pops with the right treatment. The dealer prep work was quite substandard. I spent about 3 days getting the paintwork to this level. https://youtu.be/sZ0KgSmT4_A |

Looks excellent. Simply wish that PPF could be applied over a ceramic coating. That's the only drawback to that final slick coat.

Thank you mate.
They did the standard polish from what I could understand. The problem with M2s coming to Australia is they're sitting on the ship and the docks so long that I assume the paint work is getting a bit too knocked around for $130k premium vehicle. But after a few days of special treatment mine came up very well. The video doesn't do it justice. |

I was curious if the dealer prep was more extensive for that reason, one hopes they do a better job than ours. Sounds like they do, most customers here ask them NOT to touch the car. |

Dealers here do an average to decent job I'd say.. I think next time Ill make the same request, "do not touch" and just spend the 4days prepping the car myself. I feel like it would.of been less work for me to have started with a rough but fresh paint job. |
