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.



Upon arrival, it was clear the vehicle required some work before heading off for a photoshoot.
