This 08 Melbourne Red M3 came to me in horrible shape. The owner left it to sit outside every night by a sprinkler system, which resulted in some of the worst water spots I've ever seen. Job took well over 20 hours to complete.

This car was littered with etched in water spots and dirt that was practically glued onto the paint:
After degreasing/polishing the wheels, scrubbing the tires clean of previous dressings, and wiping the wheel well down with Bare Bones:
After cleaning the interior of the wheels:
Even after pre-soaking the car
twice
, the sponges still picked up a ton of dirt. Left bucket was used to cleanse the dirty sponges, while the right bucket contains clean water:
Leaves taken out from engine bay:
Clay bar picked up a tremendous amount of contaminates:
Severe water spotting on hood.
Keep in mind that the following pictures are
after
two pre-soaks, a sponge wash, and clay bar treatment.
Swirling on hood:
Swirling on trunk:
Left side of hood polished, right side unpolished:
Left side of trunk polished, right side unpolished:
These looked like claw marks on the driver side fender:
