What you're hearing is a mixture of marketing hyperbole and myth. Clear coat paint is just as susceptible to UV damage as regular paint. In addition, clear coat can have it's own problems, such as compatibility with the base paint.
It's more likely they want to clear coat it simply because: A) They can charge extra for it. B) They are familiar with it's mistake hiding nature.
Personally, I would stick with the paint Ford and McLaren intended and skip the clear.
