McLaren GT and GTS paint protection and care
The GT and GTS are the touring McLarens, with dihedral doors, a comfortable cabin and a glazed tailgate over a rear luggage bay. They are built for long journeys, and in the UAE that means hours at highway speed between emirates, with sand striking the nose and bags sliding in and out of the luggage areas. BLN Auto Lab protects the front and lower body, keeps the glass clean and cares for the cabin materials.
What protection does a McLaren GT & GTS need in the UAE?
For long UAE journeys in a McLaren GT or GTS, BLN Auto Lab recommends full-front paint protection film carried over the sills and rear arches, a graphene coating for easy upkeep on the road, and careful cleaning of the glazed rear tailgate and cabin. Frequent travellers can add film to the luggage bay edges. The car is inspected free of charge in Sharjah before work begins.

Where to protect first
Where the GT & GTS needs protection
Nose and headlights
Hours at highway speed send a steady stream of sand at the nose, bonnet and headlights, so chips build up faster than on a weekend-only supercar.
Glazed rear tailgate
The glass tailgate over the rear luggage bay heats up in strong sun, shows hard-water spots, and gathers sand along its edges that scratches when it closes.
Luggage bay edges
Bags and golf clubs slide over the edges of the rear luggage bay and the front compartment, scratching the trim and the paint around each opening.
Sills and door edges
Passengers climbing in and out beneath the dihedral doors scuff the sills, and door edges can touch walls in narrow hotel and mall car parks.
Lower sides and rear arches
The lower sides and the panels ahead of the rear wheels collect tar and grit on long drives, which then bonds to the paint in summer heat.
Recommended
BLN's treatments for the GT & GTS
- PPF (Paint protection film)
Film across the whole front end, from bumper and bonnet to wings, mirrors and headlights, continued along the sills and over the rear arch edges. Full-body film suits GT owners who cover long distances every month.
- Upholstery
Alcantara and leather restoration for seats, steering wheels and trim, from repair and re-colouring to full re-trims, quoted after consultation.
- Ceramic coating
3-year and 5-year 9H-rated ceramic systems for paint, visual carbon and wheels, helping fine sand rinse off without scrubbing.
- Graphene coating
A graphene coating over the film and paint reduces how much dust clings after a long journey, so the car can be refreshed with a gentle hand wash on arrival.
Finish and materials
What we take care with
- The glazed tailgate is cleaned with non-abrasive glass products, and its seals are kept free of sand so the hatch closes cleanly without grinding grit into the edges.
- Luggage bay trim and carpets are vacuumed and cleaned by hand, because fine sand from bags and shoes settles deep into their corners.
- If your car has carbon-ceramic brakes or visual carbon exterior parts, each is cleaned and protected with products suited to that material.
- Leather and Alcantara, depending on specification, are cleaned separately and conditioned to cope with the heat that builds while the car is parked outdoors.

Good to know
McLaren GT & GTS questions
What PPF coverage suits a McLaren GT used for long drives?
Full-front film is the minimum. Long highway journeys concentrate chips on the bumper, bonnet, wings and mirrors, and BLN extends coverage along the sills and rear arch edges. If you cover high mileage every month, full-body film with its 10-year film warranty is the more complete choice.
How do I stop the glass tailgate on my McLaren GTS getting scratched?
Keep sand off it before it is touched. Rinse the glass and its seals before wiping, never dry-wipe dust away, and load luggage carefully so bags do not drag across the edges. BLN cleans the glass with non-abrasive products during every detail.
Does UAE heat damage the leather in a McLaren GT?
It can. Leather left in a hot cabin dries out over time and may crack at the seat bolsters. Regular cleaning and conditioning keep it supple, and ceramic or carbon window film reduces the heat that builds up while the car is parked.
