Auto Obsessed Summer Prep Detail - 2015 McLaren 650S Spider

In this throwback to last summer, Auto Obsessed performed a Summer Prep Detail to this 2015 McLaren 650S Spider. After removal of the old paint protection film, the exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. The wheels, wheel wells, doorjambs, exhaust, and engine bay were extensively detailed with a host of OBSSSSD Premium Products. The paintwork underwent multiple spot polishes in order to perfect it before application of XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film to areas that are most prone to damage. We then primed painted surfaces with CarPro Essence and finished the vehicle in CarPro CQuartz FINEST Ceramic Coating. CarPro CQuartz Finest is a professional only product and can only be applied by or sold to official CarPro accredited installers. Auto Obsessed is an accredited dealer and installer of CarPro CQuartz Finest. CarPro CQuartz Finest represents the ultimate development of the CarPro line of advanced nanotechnology coatings. Backed by a 2-Year CarPro Certified Warranty, CQuartz Finest offers the highest gloss the richest finish, the greatest scratch resistance and the most protection of any CQuartz coating.
