Car Detailing for McLaren MP4-12C / 650S

Detailing your McLaren MP4-12C / 650S

The 12C and 650S were the first modern McLarens on GTA roads, and a decade of summers has left most with swirled clear coat and scuffed carbon sills under the dihedral doors. We correct the paint with a fine pad and coat it, wipe the sills with a soft cloth and nothing abrasive and dust the engine by hand through the rear vents. Spider hardtops get their seals cleaned, and the low splitter is checked before polishing.

What we watch for on a MP4-12C / 650S

• The dihedral doors expose wide carbon fibre sills that get scuffed by shoes; we clean them with a soft cloth and keep abrasives away from the clear coat over the weave
• The 12C and 650S Spider hardtops have seals and drains that fill with grit over a summer; we clean the seals and flush the channels
• The side intakes and the rear engine cover vents collect leaves and dust; we clean the intakes with a soft brush and dust the engine by hand
• Older clear coat has often been swirled by years of washing; a measured correction with a fine pad and a coating restore the depth
• The 12C's splitter is one of the lowest on the road and scrapes on every condo ramp; we check it for scuffs before polishing and note anything that needs attention

Exotics: slow, careful, and in the garage

Exotics deserve a methodical approach: low panels, carbon, Alcantara and thin or specialty paint all mean no shortcuts. We work at your garage or storage location, at your pace.
