Flemke, there's a billion post thread spread over several volumes on it in general gassing

Quite shocking really, given that in the other thread the cost of the respray by McLaren has been hinted as being around the £40k mark.

What's with the blue swizzle paint bit on the front?

Having had the pleasure of seeing it last week and above all a ride, I can confirm it is truly awesome

Still can't work out why it needed detailing after a respray? Gave up reading other thread on page 102077

It's know as the 'Flemke Doodle (TM)'

It is worth saying that Paul's studio (which I am pretty familiar with) contains a serious lighting system that shows up every single imperfection and swirl mark (for obvious reasons). I saw the car before the paint was corrected in normal light and it looked fabulous. The paint job, as Paul would attest, was first class in terms of depth and consistency - just as you would expect from McLaren.

The paint is dark and quite soft and will pick up swirl makes quite easily, which, as I say, look worse than they really are under Paul's lights. My guess is the car was dusted over or cleaned a bit too vigorously without the benefit of a good layer of protective wax.

All that said, Paul's work was excellent and the lustre in the paint now is fantastic.

Cheers

I don't normally look at detailing threads but that was worth it. Thanks for the link.
