I dream a dream..............Susan Boyle sung through her hearts and not her look and got the whole world attention
My client called me to book for a detailing date, He desire an ultimate protection on his new Mclaren
This is one of the 10th unit brought in, it also have been sitting in a warehouse for quite some time!
I foresee work and lots of works to be carried out, eg swirls from constant wiping and general dusting, oxidizes aluminums part, degraded plastic! A huge task to get her perfect
This car is so rare in Malaysia, most probably 1/10 was shipped in!
It has been almost a years since I last post, almost at the verge of giving up detailing! if I were to tell anyone that I have not been in detailing ...... most of you would believe! but yet my Passion did not stop! and I have moved on since last Year back on my own....as always my way with my passion....did many more ride and yet to find time to post!
God has always been very kind of me.....for allowing me to handle such an exotic ride.....
after a good good body wash , now going in to details and deeper cleaning......
some areas who need greater attention than the other
eg Wheels, Door jams, Cervices and exhaust
moving to the upper rear
now the work which requires sweat begin
the calippers
the side air intake and vent
moving into the interior
The McLaren MP4-12C is an exotic sports car from the same British company that produced the legendary F1 supercar. A purpose-built two-seater with a midmounted, twin-turbocharged V8, the MP4-12C pushes modern automotive technology to its limits, and the result is a uniquely composed and confidence-inspiring drive
But... TOGW .....the previous detail polish and wax residues..
TOGW
More TOGW
I see lots of work to be done
front bonnet cleaning
check all cracks and cervices
beneath hood cleaning
tape to do 50/50% comparission
work begin
you notice something
see what is being remove
dressing oil which cover it
Dressing only cover up temporary , as the colour its fade…ugly side of it comes out!
OPC Applied
hours later it is protected by OPTIMUM COATING on these unpainted colours
my ultimate aim is to protect the car from outside in...not only paint....but interior cracks and door jam to leather seats
Therefore all dressing oil had to be removed prior coating!
Proper preparation is the ultimate important for these unpainted plastic….many would have just applies dressing and cover it

More from the previous TOGW.....the previous detail polish and wax residues..
look carefully
the previous detailer not only gave me a chance for this job but also work!!!
it almost took me 2 hours to get around these unpainted plastic and clean up
Deeper cleaning begin! it is the most challenging to correct and clean wax residue from unpainted plastics! For the wax being just absorb and stay permanently!!!!!
look again
more work and the only way to get this out quickly is Kerosene
which I do not practice that...so OPC is my best companion
tada
now my turn to tape up and becareful not to allow any compound polish residues stick on this delicate area
many many hours later
after opti coated
many hours later this is also protected permenantly by OPTI COATING
OPTI COAT these unpainted area is the best deal of protection one can ever find....they are unpainted ! residues of wax or polish sticks permanently! When this is not tackle, the car looks ugly even when other parts is done perfectly
opti coat 50/50% before and after
ta da
By the time I finish our exterior …its time to move in to do interior
after a good good vaccumm
I had to OPC the whole interior prior coating on leather, carbon fiber and carpet area
state of the art
i admit tempted to try to press this
gear knobs????? where
many many hours later
after Opticoat the intake and engine parts
Thanks to TOGW
