DetailersDomain.com fixes a Santorini Blue BMW M3
 

We got a call from Matt Stellas (aka mfatuation) shortly after Bimmerfest requesting a paint correction for this very special Santorini Blue M3. Apparently during transport back home to NJ, the car wash wiped down incorrectly. Take a look at the exterior paint correction.



We also opted for Auto Finesse Illusion due to its show car status.



Enjoy!
