OCDetailing - Tesla Model S Xpel Stealth wrap and Cquartz Finest Part 1

Jsmooth

OCDetailing
This was fun! I've done a few full Xpel wraps on Tesla model S. The number of these cars I've been privileged to work on, I've done just about anything you can do to them detail related. This was a first and the customer gave me the ok to change any way I saw fit. We both were going for unique and when it got the P85D was on its way! The reason this is part one is there is a custom carbon body kit being made that will be put on the car later.

This is after I washed, IX, clayed, and polishing step with hyper polish. I wasn't going for correction I just wanted to make sure the paint was really clean and ready for the Xpel Stealth wrap

Total this project took about 5 days start to finish. I have a lot of working pics I want to save for part 2 write but this was so cool I wanted to share!

We were up in the air on if we should wrap all the chrome, black out the chrome, leave chrome... For now we left and it looked really good! Although I did like the look of it with stealth film on it

This was later replaced with a piece of Xpel ultimate. Anyone who has worked on a Tesla knows the worst part of finishing on of these cars is keeping finger prints of the door handles. Xpel on top solves this problem!

Carbon accents on the side markers to match the spoiler.

When we got done we did 2 layers of Cquartz Finest over the whole car, FlyByForte on the glass, DLux on the wheels and calipers. The trim was untouched other than cleaned because it will be replaced soon with body kit.

The nose cone and pano roof rails were left gloss being wrapped in normal Xpel.

Nice job, the car looks great. Is the matte film any easier or harder to apply? Just curious.

Can't wait for part 2. Thanks for posting this.
 
Something wrong here. I think you polished the paint off the car, since we all know you only do black cars..................

:D

Seriously though, beautiful as always

Thanks guys! And it seems to be about the same. If anything I felt like it doesn't tack as hard as the regular film so maybe the glue is different.
 
Thanks for coming back to answer my question. Much appreciate it. Wish I knew how to film my own car. I need to re do my 2 front fenders. The hood was re done with xpel ultimate after the venture was shot. I have the scotch guard on the fenders and it looks horrible next to the xpel. The scotchguard film is also yellowing. I plan to try polishing it but I think I'll be replacing it.
