I am pleased to share this write up for the correction and new car prep for this awesome car! A special thanks goes out to Nick Jones and Spencer Berke for the opportunity to give the car the look it deserves! Upon arrival the car was in better condition from the factory than most other exotics are IMO. The McLaren had a few isolated rids and a couple of swirls here and there, along with some typical factory sand scratches. Out of all the McLaren's, the Volcano Orange is my favorite color especially after correction and topping it with my Swissvax I've been testing. The Orange looks UNREAL in person. Enjoy the photos!

:bow That looks stunning -- even better than the orange one Dave Saunders just posted. The metallic in that color makes the car really pop.



Did the 101 see any action on this one?
 
Very nice. Incredibly striking car. Did you find the paint to be soft? I haven't worked on the orange yet - both of the ones I've worked on were carbon black and both were in horrendous condition when delivered. Makes me wonder how much variance there is on each car.

Thank You! No 101 was used just 105 in the areas where factory sand scratches were! I'll be posting the supersport within this week!

It was in between hard and soft but it finished down very nicely... I guess I was fortunate because both your's and Detail Dave's were hammered with factory flaws... I have 2 whites, silver, and a black one coming up so I'll let you know when I finish them!
