McLaren 720S Ceramic Coating: A Real Job in Crystal Lake

This McLaren 720S came in for a full ceramic coating package, and it's a good example of what that process actually looks like on a car worth protecting properly.

A 720S is a track-focused exotic, which means the paint underneath is thin, soft, and easy to swirl if it's handled wrong. Before any coating goes on, the car gets a full decontamination wash, a clay treatment to pull embedded contaminants out of the clear coat, and then a careful paint inspection under raking light to check for existing swirl marks or light scratches from previous washes.

Once the surface is confirmed clean and defect-free, the ceramic coating gets applied in thin, even panels and cured. The result is a hydrophobic layer that bonds to the clear coat instead of just sitting on top of it like a wax, so it holds up through Chicagoland winters, road salt, and daily driving instead of washing off after a few weeks.

This kind of build calls for our top-tier protection — the same Stage 3 Graphene Ceramic Coating we run on exotics and daily drivers alike. For more on what ceramic coating looks like around here, see our guide to ceramic coating in Crystal Lake or check out our Crystal Lake location page.

This is the same process we bring to every ceramic coating appointment, whether it's a daily driver or something like this 720S. If your car's paint could use the same treatment, you can book a ceramic coating appointment online or call or text 847-501-0456 for a quote.
