Washing your McLaren
ENVIRONMENTAL: Some cleaning
products contain chemicals that are
hazardous to the environment. Always
take precautions to prevent fluids
from spilling and never use excessive
quantities.
Hand washing your McLaren
1. Pre-rinse the body thoroughly with a
hose pipe held at a shallow angle to
loosen any dirt and wet the paintwork
ready for washing, avoiding direct spray
on engine cover vents.
2. Prepare a bucket of warm water and a
good quality car shampoo. Refer to the
shampoo manufacturer’s instructions
for dilution ratios.
3. Working from the top of the vehicle
down, wash the vehicle, ideally using a
lambswool wash mitt rather than a
sponge, use generous quantities of
water paying particular attention to
areas where dirt can accumulate. Use
one wash mitt for the top of the vehicle
(roof, luggage compartment lid and
areas above the wheel arch line) and a
separate mitt for areas below the
wheel arch line.
NOTE: Do not clean the wheels with
these wash mitts.
NOTE: Do not allow the shampoo to
dry, it will leave streaks on the paint
work.
4. Tar spots and stubborn grease marks
can be removed using white spirit or
denatured alcohol. After cleaning,
immediately wash the area with soapy
water to remove all traces of spirit or
alcohol.
5. Once the vehicle is clean, work from the
top of the vehicle down and rinse
thoroughly using a hose pipe held at a
shallow angle, avoiding direct spray on
engine cover vents.
6. Dry the vehicle using a chamois leather
or drying towel.
NOTE: In case of signs of water in the
engine bay, it is advised to drive the
vehicle and warm the engine to
operating temperature to dry off any
excessive water from the engine.
Washing the wheels
NOTE: Wash the wheels frequently, do
not allow brake dust to become
ingrained in the wheel rim finish.
Wash the wheels using warm water, a good
quality car shampoo and a wheel brush or
wash mitt that is used only on the wheels.
Apply polish to non-satin finished wheels to
assist in keeping them clean.
NOTE: Never apply polish to satin
finish wheels, this will result in
localised glossy patches on the
surface of the wheel.
NOTE: Do not use acid based wheel
cleaners as these can damage the
wheel rim finish leading to corrosion.
NOTE: Ensure the brakes are fully
dried after the wheels have been
cleaned before the vehicle is stored.
Wiper blades and rubber seals
Clean wiper blades and rubber seals using
warm water and a good quality car shampoo
only. Do not use petroleum or alcohol-based
cleaners.
