Cleaning the 24K gold foil in a McLaren F1 supercar | Beyond the Details

Cleaning water spots off 24K gold heat shielding? Air-brushing blue paint back onto AN fittings? All in a days work for Tim McNair as he meticulously cleans this McLaren F1. Although these rare supercars are worth upwards of $20 Million, many are regularly driven by their owners. And when you drive a car, it gets dirty! Tim walks us through some of the finer details of what it takes to REALLY clean every nook and cranny in this legendary vehicle.
Welcome to Beyond The Details, hosted by Tim McNair of Grand Prix Concours. In this series, we’ll be following Tim as he travels America performing concours-level preparation to some of the rarest, most expensive and exclusive vehicles… in the world.
