- Welcome to Beyond The Details, hosted by Tim McNair of Grand Prix Concours. In this series, we’ll be following Tim as he travels America performing concours-level preparation to some of the rarest, most expensive and exclusive vehicles… in the world.
For the series premiere, Tim is taking viewers Beyond The Details with what many argue is the greatest car of all-time: the McLaren F1.We’ll see Tim apply dry ice blasting to the carbon fiber wheel wells of this F1, as well as getting up-close-and-personal with the brakes, taking the car from “clean,” to fastidiously clean.
Special thanks not only to the owner of this McLaren F1 for allowing us to bring you access to all of the up-close details of this car, but also to McLaren of Philadelphia for hosting Tim and the crew.

Whoever is managing Hagerty content... Deserves a raise.
It's not the manager that gets the work done, he/she supports those people with the tools and resources needed. Let's give credit to the actual content creator.
@@kookiethebear there's tons of well filmed videos on CZcams. What's missing is the actual content what folks like to see. Hagerty has been knocking it out of the park with quality informative content. That was the whole point of my comment.
Couldn’t agree more, this content is very next level and good to see them pushing content on every aspect of cars.
Some1 has to much money and no brains to let this guy detail there F1 super car especially when the detailer is using his wife's cosmetic and house hold cleaning tools oh I get it the detailer not once in this vlog has he used a reputable company s detailing equipment tooth pick wife eye-liner brush tea towel steel wool kebab stick must be bamboo this is too much
@@abzram3481 I don’t see anything wrong with that. I use my wife’s stuff too on my Aston Martin. If it’s good enough for human skin it’s good enough for my car. 🤷♂️
To whoever is putting miles on this 20 million dollar icon to all things motoring, you are a LEGEND!
And it’s white!!
yeah.
@Thomas It has nothing to do with "affording to drive it" 99% that can but cars like this obviously can afford to drive/ maintain the car but most don't simply because they're too worried about it losing value because of miles driven etc...
@@stanleysimmonsreactions9056 fortunately the support from McLaren is so good that mileage dosnt affect the values of these cars, you can even smash them up and still fetch 20 million, as McLaren will build is to new standards.
Correct!
It's almost crazy that I spent the last 14 minutes just watching a wheel well being cleaned, watching someone so invested in what they're doing is always a pleasure. In this case educational too. And still watching
The fact that those lug nuts have some noticeable wear on them warms my car guy heart. Those wheels have been on and off multiple times. That car is being used, a lot, and that's how it should be. One of the greatest cars ever made being used for its intended purpose. Love it!
The guy that owns this car drives the hell out of it. There are some videos on youtube.
This guy spends more time cleaning a wheel well than I do cleaning my entire body.
He’s probably spent more time cleaning that one wheel well than I’ve spent washing/cleaning my car for the past 4 years 😆
@@jonathanparle8429 he has the honor of working on one of the most legendary cars in the history of man. It has nothing to do with patience or allowing life to slip by your eyes. This would be the equivalent of someone restoring a Picasso painting.
@@rickymorcus8962 well said 👍🏼
While i understand this is a vehicle of supreme beauty, performance, and rarity I can't help but feel this adherence to "concourse" detail is a downright silly human construct. This car was meant to drive and drive well....maybe we should all spend more time doing so and less time sitting around a bunch of stuffed shirts showing it off.
@@SixGunTodd good point haha. I can see where you’re coming from.
Hagerty's channel is becoming what we wanted in an automative TV channel as kids, stuff we have always wondered, things to learn and especially everything we'd never see in person and if we did we'd brag to all our friends at school and no one would ever believe us unless we were smart enough to get a picture taken at the time. Like seeing a wild countach or dmc12
Hagerty's videos are top-notch! The editing is insane and the topics are always on point. Very well done!!
The editor need to understand whats normalizing sound mean, you can't have music that loud with voices that low.
Agreed. Low sound when talking and high music. Great video though.
And epic car.
Im happy the owner of the f1 drives it, these cars where meant to be driven not to be garage queens just to get price value for resale.
most are driven quite a bit, as the owners use them for tours
Its such a same to let a car like this getting dirt in a garage
Legendary car, I was lucky back in the 90s to have a fast lap in a test F1 at a track driven by an F1 driver, I will never forget the sensation of it driven flat out, the brakes were like hitting a wall.
Was it John Watson by any chance.
My friend was mulling over the idea of buying one back then and it was John Watson that demoed the car to him….he decided not to buy it….given what they’re worth today, probably not the best decision he’s ever made 😂
Pure labor of Love ❤️…. Dude swabbin a bolt with a q-tip 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brakes got a better facial than my moms 🤣
Such crazy attention to detail...I don't have that kind of patience!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
If you consider this car's price is close to the yearly salary of a top f1 driver, you realize that no effort is too much. It's like restoring a rare piece of art, nothing is too much.
Oh, I understand the process just fine. It's actually doing the work that would drive me nuts!
This entire channel is what happens when the bean counters lean on and trust car enthusiasts to create car content
Who are/is Hagerty?
After watching this video
My wife: babe have you seen my mascara brush?!
Me in the garage: 😬
This was incredible to watch, but that steel wool caused me huge anxiety on all those cad or silver plated nuts nuts and the aluminum, all that tiny steel dust is going to abrade and corrode in every little nook and cranny it got into.
I would cry if I ever saw a McLaren f1 in person. That is the most beautiful vehicle ever created
MORE F1 detailing PLEASE!!!!
And also what this guy said!
agree
This is the type of effort I expect when i take my car to a £30 car wash
This car is royalty and the process was done fittingly with the same delicacy as the man who wipes the queen's backside
I would like to know Gordon Murray's honest opinion of a bamboo-stick brake bolt(s) deep clean which will last for how long, 10 miles dry weather? :)
probably putting it in a museum, but I think Gordon Murray would still be mad at that.
If it saves weight by removing a speckle of dust, he would approve.
The holy grail of sport car.
Insane detailing! 👉👍
Simply the most beautiful car to ever touch asphalt EVER!
I could watch and listen to this guy for hours.
My all time favorite hypercar. IMO it’s aged like fine wine.
14:44 loving the 1993 318i window switch 😂
That’s a Spal window switch, used by most ever European manufacturer in the 80’s and 90’s, but probably is the BMW version since they also have a modified 750i engine in the back.
and the e30 steering wheel
"Unfortunately, when you get to this level of detail, you need much more specialized equipment."
Grabs some cotton swabs and skewers.
Love the High Downforce Kit on these cars. Makes the car look so much better. Great video. Up next, the Porsche GT1 please
Cars like this, designed for maximum performance, but used so sparingly and barely driven is sad. Everything has a purpose and sitting in a garage 99.9999% of the time is not it for this piece of machinery.
And god..................................don't ever get it dirty
The guy in the video said the owner actually drives this one which is why it's dirty.
It’s probably very expensive to drive it, let alone own it.
Of all the cars to take this issue with, the F1 in this video has been driven more than just about any other in the USA since the owner acquired in in 2006. They’ve tracked it, taken it on road tours, and it’s frequently found parked on the streets of Monterey during Car Week.
The specific car is likely the best spec they ever produced.
Absolutely perfect. Dearly wish I had the means for one
Outside of the color, I would have to agree.
When I grew older, I only appreciate regular non hdf F1, Hdf cars looks riced, juts buy a GTR if you want to track it, regular F1 looks so much nicer and classy, without big wing + smaller r17 wheels.
@@r129r16pfl the other issue with the HDK cars is they lack the side skirts found on the GTRs and LMs so they just look a bit unfinished.
@@r129r16pfl the lm is still by far the best looking one.
Gosh… even after ALL these years of this car being around- it is still an absolutely breathtaking car. I’ve been fortunate enough to have sat center cockpit in one
Lucky bastard. I live half a mile from the factory and I never sat in one but I have seen five in total
Dudes telling me how to do each step like im gonna be cleaning the brakes on a f1 😂
This is level of detailing I aspire to. What a lad he is for how minute he is.
“you need specific machines”
guys holding a paint cap and skewers lmao
No car will ever reach the same level of precision and attention to detail as the Mclaren F1, while still being a naturally aspirated, manual transmission, non traction control, non abs, driver's focused machine that the F1 is. It is truly the ultimate driver's car.
Oh please, other supercars have far surpassed the F1 in every engineering aspect. Progress didn’t end with the F1.
...until the next one is marketed as such.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that Mr. Murray would have something to say in this conversation 😂🤣
@@TML34 true, technology has progressed to the more driver aided machines, but have any progressed to the point the f1 did for its time? has any road car since has gone a whole decade being regarded as the fastest car on earth? it took 10 years of tech to take its crown
thats how the f1 earned its legit icon status
It makes me so happy seeing these cars preserved.
The one car that truly remains superlative in every way, even after all these years.
28 years on, there have been hundreds of supercars and hypercars both mainstream and boutique and yet none has managed to hit the high water mark set by this car. If the GMA T.50 doesn't manage it then it may well remain THE superlative car in perpetuity.
I like this series already! More please!
"The Mclaren F1 Is In a Class By Itself"

Very interesting seeing dry ice blasting, genius because it’s like sand blasting or media blasting without going under the paint coat
Seeing this much love given to a car is pure love itself
I’ve worked with Tim. His attention to detail and DECADES of experience makes Him Nut and Bolts above the rest
Awesome video, now I know how to properly detailed my McLaren F1 😂
OMG, I thought I was fussy and everyone who knows me would agree but this guy is UNBELIEVABLE! You sir are truly in the land of awesome Best Regards PTT
Bamboo sticks for clean the bolts of the front break disc . How unnecesary could be that?
exactly my point too, buddy spend his life cleaning it soooo meticulously when in reality some neutral ph apc woulda saved him 5x time, i get he’s the one working on the f1 but come on now lmao
This is automotive gold
holy hell...love the knowledge transfer here...this dude is like the Sheldon Cooper of detailing
My absolute Dreamcar!
Can dry ice blasting damage things due to the immense cold? Plastics or seals? Or is fine grain of the dry ice not enough (lack of) thermal mass to truly make things cold?
Yes, which is why Tim does everything with extreme caution. He never lets anything get too cold.
It's not cold enough nor in contact long enough to really impart enough of a temp change into any surface. Goes from a solid to a gas skipping the messy water loves trying to hang out with anything it touches part. The pellets hit whatever and off it goes as the pellets heat up and turn to gas. Might even help push whatever away as well.
exactly right, it is not in contact long enough. I would not hold the wand steady on any part, just to be safe
The only thing dry ice blasting damages is your bank balance 😁
@@Hagerty no.
Great work! Both informative and entertaining. In a world of self-proclaimed “influencer” media junk, it’s wonderfully refreshing to see quiet but confident expertise in a well-produced new series. Hagerty is the new gold standard for automotive media.
What an absolute weapon of a vehicle.
I don’t even have words for how absurd this is, probably 20 miles of dirt from driving to a cars and coffee and then how many thousands to have the wheel wells blown out with co2 pellets and the brake rotor nuts hand scraped with bamboo skewers.
Insane detail on a multimillion dollar car owned by a multimillionaire. None of this applies to the rest of us. This is how wealth has become concentrated.
@@romankalyniuk2596 lol wealth has become concentrated. Them having wealth, doesn’t mean you can’t have money. They aren’t hoarding money. This isn’t a pie, that if they take a slice, you get less of a slice. You people really need to stop thinking like this. If they made less money, you wouldn’t magically make more
@@jamesbizs Right. It's just that when the few keep taking bigger and bigger slices, there's less for the rest.
I would disagree with infrequent use, if you look at the wheel nut at 5:00 to 6:00 you'll see that's it's well worn so it would indicate regular use.
Love the content you guys are putting out. Real car enthusiast stuff. Great work.
Definitely looking forward to future episodes in this series! Without question, Hagerty continues to be the best producer of automotive content on CZcams
This must be a dream to work on a car like that, I don't think I've ever seen 1 in the flesh let alone be able to get deep into it
That foaming metal sealant is a product I didn't know I needed. Would be super useful for keeping my engine bay looking fresh.
Excellent tips Tim, thank you! Looking forward to this series.
This is art.
I just LOVE how the editors matched the beat of the song with the blinking light at 0:08
Literally cleans everything down to the bolt now that’s how you detail a f1
I would argue that the McLaren F1 and the Ferarri 250 GT are the only cars that deserve this level of detailing.
Poor guy probably has nightmares about puddles.
Gorgeous! Detailed, like a neurosurgeon work. The best car ever made, deserves a special treatment like this. With a McLaren F1 on my garage, i could do the same ( with appropriate tools on my garage, of course ) with much love, almost every week, because McLaren F1 is the one of biggest passions who i have in my life, being some of these passions:
1: money
2: animals
3: McLaren F1
im kinda a beginer when it comes to detailing and wow i learned so much from this video alone
F that amount of work ….. detailing a car to that level is a whole otherworldly level of work. You couldn’t pay me enough.
this video is a work of art
The GOAT of cars!!!
Using the Mascara brush, so thoughtful. ❤️
The music is annoying, with such an amazing content you don’t need shitty background music, I want to hear the artist talk.
Presentation, editing, information....the car. Superb!
That’s no kidding actual love.
I just imagine this guy polished his Big Wheel to perfection every day as a kid
You’re not far off
Lol he’s me detailing them 14-15yrs ago
Jesus Christ Tim. Good job man. I'd love to have time to detail my Miata like that haha.
Brand new like the anodise finish that’s been abraded off the hub nuts!
I want one of those dryice thingies and a 💩ton of dry ice!!!!🤩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's cool that this car is so rare and iconic that you can literally trace where it's been and who owns with a few quick Google searches, all solely because the way it looks. No Vin numbers required
wow. not usually into cleaning videos but this is pretty next level. Wish they showed the undercarriage and engine bay cleaning here
Wow! A Master at his craft fo shore! Unbelievable......Detailing at it's rarest👌 ❤it💪 Thought I seen the best detailers CZcams has to offer? Tim your on an entirely different level of☝🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would pull it in my gravel drive and give it a good hand wash with some old towels off the back porch like I do my beater truck lmfao
Very interesting process. If the extra loud music was supposed to enhance the presentation, it failed miserbly.
love the editing at the very beginning timing the tune with the cuts/red light
goodluck getting in there with that GUT lmao
Great episode; Nicely captured on video!
as an aspiring detailer myself, I would love to see more ... much more please
If you're into detailing, besides haggerty channel check out another CZcams channel called ammo NYC
The holy grail 🕺🏽
Used to employ dry ice blasting in the heavy industry manufacturing to clean steel and cast Irion castings prior to finish coating process because it leaves nothing behind but dust where other media like sand, glass or organic compounds leave you with cleanup and disposal costs.
Now this is awesome content! Thanks guys
This is more than Fyeah spec
I swear high end car retailers are akin to the people that restore and preserve fine art. It’s almost an art form in itself…
this is so extra, but i still love it
This one of the best videos I have ever seen...#TheHolyGrail #F1
Wow. I live 15 minutes outside of West Chester. I hope I get to see this beauty on the road one day!
I can't wait to see more videos in this series!
Omg this was so satisfying
What an awesome video. Thank you.
McLaren F1 is the most beautiful car ever made
I guess when you own a $20 million car then a $200,000 detail aint that expensive
Wow, first world blessings
Lower the background music pls so we can listen a bit more clear thank you
Awesome video and gorgeous car
I’ll never complain about hand washing my car and truck again. Wow! 👍🏼
West chester PA? That’s my hometown! Go Rams!
