McLaren 570S detailing in Houston

What we watch for

Paint and interior on the 570S

Paint and exterior

Deep channels run from the doors back past the rear wheels and collect wax, sealant and dust. Many cars are on their second or third owner, so older film may need assessing and bare paint usually carries wash swirls.

Interior

Leather and Alcantara with a portrait touchscreen in the center stack. The 570GT has a carpeted shelf under its glass hatch that gathers lint, and the wide sills mark from shoes.

Living in Houston

A pre-owned 570S bought in Houston often arrives with years of wash marks and lifted film edges. Resetting the paint and cabin once makes it a much nicer weekend car.

• Often wears PPF or a wrap: film edges get a coating-safe wash, no clay on the film, and the film can be ceramic coated too.
• Exposed carbon fiber: clear-coated carbon is polished like paint; satin carbon is cleaned and protected, never polished.
• Alcantara or microsuede: brushed dry, cleaned with a dedicated cleaner on a towel (never sprayed directly), then re-napped.
• Low front splitter: we work on level ground and keeps equipment clear of the nose.
