2019 McLaren 600LT - New Vehicle Armor

Lambert Auto Detailing • Sep 03, 2020

This twin turbo v8 produces an astounding 592 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque while catapulting this land rocket from 0-60 in an estimated 2.9 seconds. The McLaren 600LT was made for racing and this beautiful spec'd version sits as a perfect example!

This vehicle came to us with the goal of light defect removal, ceramic coating and window tint services. I know what you're thinking... $330k and this vehicle requires paint correction? The simple answer is yes. Even after paint any vehicle goes through assembly, testing, transportation, dealership inspections and a possible test drive or 2. During this time it is almost impossible to guarantee 0 contact with a painted surface. This is where we come in.

We start off with our signature decontamination wash which consists of several rinse sessions, foam bath, 2 bucket hand wash, tar remover, iron/ fallout remover, final rinse and a clay bar session of the entire vehicle to remove any remaining contaminants on the surface.

After the decontamination wash is complete, we can begin our inspection process which consists of measuring paint, looking for problem areas and performing a test pass to find out the correct pad and polish combo while removing as little clear coat as possible.

Though these cars are built to go fast, it is not uncommon to find buffer trails, sanding marks, and other random defects.

After our inspection and planning process is done I go ahead and tint the windows. This gives an optimal cure time for the adhesive to dry. Between the doors that go up and not out, the tiny back window, Alcantara covered interior, role bars and the Senna carbon fiber bucket seats; this was by far one of the most awkward cars I have tinted!

The customer opted for our Suntek Films Ceramic IR 20 which gave it great heat rejection, privacy, UV protection and just added great style to the sleek look!

Patterns are cut in house on our Grapthec 8600 plotter. This keeps a knife away from the expensive glass.

Some photos below of the paint correction process. As you can see from a few photos, we were able to remove a substantial amount of haze and swirls from the paint to show off the true brilliance of the white paint. All carbon fiber was polished to perfection and even the insides of the doors had rotary haze from not being finished down properly.

After hours and hours of polishing you truly get to see the details in engineering that go into these vehicles and why they cost what they cost. Every fin, valley and vent has a purpose. My favorite part? The high mounted center exit exhaust!

Our coating of choice on this project was Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra Black. This consists of a base layer of Crystal Serum Ultra topped with a layer of EXOv4 and finally a top layer of C2v3. We also threw on a single layer of Crystal Serum Ultra on the wheel faces to help keep the black finish as clean as possible! With that, out 2019 McLaren 600LT project is complete. These are truly great vehicles and was an absolute blast to work on. Now out client can enjoy years of protection and easy maintenance!

Are you curious about options for your vehicle?
