After 25 years of ownership, Jay Leno is giving his McLaren F1 a long-overdue detailing to match its value. Despite being offered $20 million for the car, Leno declined and continues to cherish it, using it regularly rather than keeping it stored away.
Leno’s McLaren F1, one of only 106 produced, has seen its fair share of use, resulting in marks and imperfections on its paint over time. To address this, Leno has enlisted the help of detailing experts to perform a thorough cleaning and paint correction, utilizing specialized products.
The detailing process involves meticulous attention to detail, including the removal of wheels and protection of chrome details before polishing the paint. Despite its age, the McLaren’s original features remain intact, showcasing its timeless design and engineering.
Leno emphasizes the F1’s enduring appeal, both in terms of design and performance, praising its BMW-sourced V12 engine and manual transmission. With only 12,000 miles on the odometer, Leno’s F1 remains a coveted piece in his collection, embodying the essence of a true driver’s car.
