Windscreen, windows and mirrors
Regularly clean all windows inside and out
using a window cleaning solution. An
automotive glass cleaner is recommended.
After washing the vehicle with car shampoo
containing wax, clean the outside of the
windscreen with glass cleaner. Do not use
abrasive cleaning compounds as mirror glass
is particularly susceptible to damage.
Underbody cleaning
Salt used on roads to control snow and ice
during the winter can collect on the vehicle’s
underbody, if this is not removed, corrosion
can occur. During the winter months,
regularly hose the underbody with water
paying particular attention to the wheel
arches and areas where dirt can accumulate.
Polishing
Occasionally polish the paint work using a
good quality polish, following up with a
protective wax.
NOTE: Do not use cutting compound,
colour restoration products or polishes
containing a harsh abrasive. These can
scratch the surface and permanently
damage the paint work.
Paint damage and rectification
Regularly inspect the paint work for damage.
Any stone chips or deep scratches should be
repaired as soon as possible. Contact your
McLaren retailer for advice.
Cleaning the interior
NOTE: Your McLaren retailer will be
able to recommend products for
cleaning the interior of your vehicle.
Carpet and fabrics
Before cleaning upholstery, always test the
cleaning solution on a concealed area. Clean
with diluted upholstery cleaner and a clean
cloth.
Leather
Before cleaning leather, always test the
cleaning solution on a concealed area. Clean
with warm water and a non-detergent soap
or a proprietary leather cleaner. Dry with a
dry, clean, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaning products or polish.
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the
dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective
and may interfere with the driver’s view.
Clean with diluted upholstery cleaner, then
wipe with a damp cloth.
Carbon Fibre
Before cleaning visible carbon fibre, always
test the cleaning solution on a concealed
area. Clean with a propriety matt dashboard
