Dry ice blasting a McLaren F1 supercar | Beyond the Details - Ep 01

[@SuryaDe]

Whoever is managing Hagerty content... Deserves a raise.

[@kookiethebear]

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.

[@SuryaDe]

@@kookiethebear there's tons of well filmed videos on KZbin. 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.

[@myKurisma]

Couldn’t agree more, this content is very next level and good to see them pushing content on every aspect of cars.

[@abzram3481]

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

[@SuryaDe]

@@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. 🤷‍♂️

[@ryanmolloy5421]

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!

[@CarDaddy24]

The guy that owns this car drives the hell out of it. There are some videos on youtube.

[@charl_k]

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

[@ekscalybur]

To whoever is putting miles on this 20 million dollar icon to all things motoring, you are a LEGEND!

[@moneymikz]

And it’s white!!

[@furiousgtz]

yeah.

[@stanleysimmonsreactions9056]

@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...

[@sresto7943]

@@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.

[@johntrussell7228]

This guy spends more time cleaning a wheel well than I do cleaning my entire body.

[@SixGunTodd]

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.

[@rickymorcus8962]

@@SixGunTodd good point haha. I can see where you’re coming from.

[@WorkshopRebuild]

Hagerty's videos are top-notch! The editing is insane and the topics are always on point. Very well done!!

[@Kabodanki]

The editor need to understand whats normalizing sound mean, you can't have music that loud with voices that low.

[@Barano555]

Agreed. Low sound when talking and high music. Great video though.

[@Barano555]

And epic car.

[@KINGVONFRM063]

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.

[@timmcnair4424]

most are driven quite a bit, as the owners use them for tours

[@yurikrinsom1362]

Its such a same to let a car like this getting dirt in a garage

[@NekoWinters]

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

[@YakAlien]

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.

[@jasonsfraser]

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 😂

[@nakotahunt1324]

I would cry if I ever saw a McLaren f1 in person. That is the most beautiful vehicle ever created

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Such crazy attention to detail...I don't have that kind of patience!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@diegovianavillegas3297]

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.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Oh, I understand the process just fine. It's actually doing the work that would drive me nuts!

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

This car is royalty and the process was done fittingly with the same delicacy as the man who wipes the queen's backside

[@sivaraoramasamy3499]

[@r129r16pfl]

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.

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.

[@flacjacket]

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 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? :)

If it saves weight by removing a speckle of dust, he would approve.

[@brandenflasch]

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?

[@Hagerty]

Yes, which is why Tim does everything with extreme caution. He never lets anything get too cold.

[@lknanml]

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.

[@timmcnair4424]

exactly right, it is not in contact long enough. I would not hold the wand steady on any part, just to be safe

It’s probably very expensive to drive it, let alone own it.

[@Peloton25]

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.

[@vettekid3326]

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.
