At Auto Protek we appreciate that a McLaren is the realisation of a dream for many owners. When you’ve finally bought the car of your dreams, you want it to look its best and stay looking that way for as long as possible. That’s why we’re proud of our 18 years and more of experience in automotive detailing and protection to offer you the very best in McLaren car detailing services.
Auto Protek can detail your McLaren to meet even the most exacting requirements. We can detail your McLaren to the most thorough standards. A typical detailing operation will take two days. We will clean, clay-bar and machine polish every exterior and internal surface. Even on a brand-new car, this can bring a new level of quality and colour to the appearance.
For cars with some miles on them, we will clean the brake callipers, carry out a full degrease and clean of the engine bay, remove tar and iron deposits from the bodywork and give the interior a deep clean. This can make your McLaren look as good as new.
For our existing or regular customers, we can carry out ‘maintenance details’. When we’ve installed or applied one of our protective coatings, we can check, maintain and renew the coating where needed.
For the ultimate in durable protection for your McLaren, whether on the outside or the interior, we recommend our paint protection film services.
We work with multiple suppliers of PPF and have built up a stock of patterns for hundreds of models of cars, including most production McLarens. These patterns are cut into PPF using our computer-controlled plotter. This ensures a precise fit and alignment. We also have our own PPF installation booth with state-of-the-art lighting and dust filtration.
To suit different budgets and needs, we offer several different packages for PPF, whether you just want to protect your McLaren’s low-slung front end from stone chips or get PPF applied to the entire vehicle or something in between. We also install PPFs for interior surfaces, touch screens and even your McLaren’s key fob.
One of the best ways to preserve your McLaren’s paintwork without committing to endless repetitive care (or keeping it locked up in a garage rather than being used as it is intended!) is to apply a ceramic coating. This bonds to the upper layers of the paintwork at a molecular level, creating a hard and shiny surface that resists light scratches as well as chemical damage. Our ceramic coatings are hydrophobic. This not only gives that photogenic ‘beading’ effect in the rain (so your McLaren will look great whatever the weather) but prevents paint and lacquer damage from water spots and stains.
At Auto Protek we offer ceramic coatings from five renowned manufacturers because, in our lengthy experience, some work better than others on different materials and surfaces. We can also provide ceramic coatings for your McLaren’s interior to keep leather, plastic and rubber from damage from stains. This can also combat longer-term damage from UV light.
Auto Protek will always carry out a paint correction process before applying any coating or PPF to your McLaren. The appearance and effectiveness of either of these treatments depend entirely on the condition of the paintwork underneath. However good the protective layer is, it won’t make scratched or swirl-marked paint look any better. A smooth, clean surface also ensures that the PPF or ceramic coating applies and bonds to the paint for best longevity and appearance.
Auto Protek’s paint correction will machine polish away the upper part of the paintwork’s lacquer coat, where the majority of defects and damages are found. This will leave a fresh, smooth and clean surface. Before polishing, we measure the depth of the lacquer and paintwork to see how deep any damage goes and to ensure that we leave enough lacquer to protect the paint underneath.
This newly polished, smooth and clean surface is preserved and protected under PPF or a ceramic coating. Paint correction takes our skilled technicians no less than five hours and up to 30 hours or more for a multi-stage process with heavy, fine and finishing polishing stages at different grades and depths over an entire car.
We also offer paint correction as a stand-alone service to refresh or renew your McLaren’s appearance. If you choose not to have a ceramic coating or PPF applied to your vehicle after paint correction, we will apply a high-gloss sealant.
