We at Auto Obsessed are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to work on the very first McLaren MP4-12C in Edmonton. This vehicle required a quick detail for a photoshoot scheduled for the following day so 4 hours were spent touching up the vehicle.

To begin this detail, we started with the wheels and tires using P21s Wheel Cleaner Gel (http://www.autoobsessed.com/shop/p21s-gel-wheel-cleaner-kit-500ml-p-227.html)for a gentle clean:
