Default McLaren MP4-12C detail with full HD video

I got the opportunity to work on another 2012 McLaren MP4-12C from a wonderful client of mine and decided to make a video of the full process. I often get asked, "what exactly do you do?" Well this shows the start to finish process of a paint correction detail, about 11 hours of filming to make this short video.

A big thanks to my client for the use of his vehicle for the video and a big thanks to McLaren of San Francisco for the use of their facility and the wonderful hospitality they showed me. A huge thanks to Recourse Media for an excellent video!


This car can be seen on the Luxury4Play Gold Rush Rally this summer. This car is also the charity vehicle for the event. Its a great cause too.

Make sure to watch in High Definition

Hope you enjoy!

*Mods, if this violates any rules, feel free to remove. Just wanted to share a cool vid that I've been wanting to do for a long time and to show what goes into a paint correction detail*

Awesome video. Can you explain what you're doing at 0:42?

Is that a grit guard? For the rinse bucket I thought you were supposed to keep the guard at the bottom...Or do you have two in there?

And do you just spray on iron-x after the wash, then just rinse it off? Sorry for all the questions lol I really have a lot of respect for the work you do!

Very good quality video, and filming, I really like the 50/50 shot conversions in the video, really well done. As usual, the car, and work looks great!

Probably Iron-X.

Looked like the finish was 'purple-ing'.
