We were contacted by the owner of this beautiful McLaren 650S to wrap his entire car in paint protection film (clear bra) and top all the film in 22ple‘s exclusive Mistico Elemento glass coat for years of protection and shine.

Once the vehicle was in the studio we started off my giving it a wash using the 2×2 bucket method and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash to cleanse the surface. We followed up with an Iron X application and clayed the pearl white paint with a Nano Skin Wash Mitt and Iron X Snow Foam as lubrication. Since it was a white vehicle and had made the trip up from Florida, there were some heavy tar and iron deposits on the lower parts of the car under the rockers that needed to be taken care of using Tarminator and a damp microfiber towel.  Once the wash was completed we dried it with a Waffle Weave Drying Towel and the Metro Master Baster Revolution.

We removed a few pieces including the rear wing to allow for a more seamless film installation. The entire vehicle was then covered in self healing paint protection film and topped with one layer of 22ple Mistico Elemento. Mistico is a truly amazing coating that has blown my mind, utilizing the next generation in silica technology and delivering 5 years of unrivaled protection and gloss. It really has raised the bar!

We let the coating sit on the film for 10 minutes before wiping off with 16×16 CarPro Suede Towels.

The wheel faces and calipers were coated as well with two coats of 22ple VM1 Rim and Metal Coating topped with 22ple VX3 Glass Coating and finished with 22ple VS1 Final Coat

After we finished applying the base layer of Mistico, we decided to layer it with 22ple VX3 Glass Coat for additional thickness and gloss. We then heated each panel with our IR heat lamp to accelerate the curing process. After the coating finished curing we applied four layers of 22ple VS1 Final Coat to amplify the gloss and create a super slick hydrophobic surface.
