Detailing a McLaren F1 GTR LT for The Quail Concours

Wow, 138 man hours. Pretty interesting. It ended up winning Spirit of The Quail award.



I'm pretty sure I'd want to kick the owner's ass for driving the car to the concours the morning of after all of the polishing. I'd need a FAT paycheck for what these guys did.

Eh, if I was in charge of scoring I'd add points for extra road/track dirt up underneath and on the tires, slightly used tread, and more miles on the odo than the last time it was judged.

I've seen that before. That guy is very good at what he does. Quite a bit of Porsche content on his channel. If I remember right he has a 964.

Very interesting. Wish I had those skills. Detailing is hard work.

polished up race cars, it's wrong
Even in the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, they are way way to clean. It just makes em look like kitcars.

Yeah, he's got a 964, and has worked on a bunch of Porsches including a Carrera GT and a 64 911 that went into the Met museum.
