I have already done a few Tesla Model S’s already, also I have detailed a blue model 3. Recently, one of my customers took delivery of a brand new Tesla Model 3 in white. We discussed a coating and this is the first time doing it for a customer. The only other car I coated was my 95 Camry.
Started with AMMO foaming rinseless wash and ONR in the bucket. This is my new process is to pre soak with the ammo froths then do a normal ONR wash.
The customer wanted her own wash kit. I got her a grit gaurd, small bottle of ONR, sprayer, and gave. A brief tutorial how to use it. Pretty straightforward.
My only photo I got of polishing.
Mainly, all it needed was Gyeon primer. I took many videos for my YouTube channel but one thing that was very important: many Tesla’s, including high end Model S’s have small dull spots in the paint. I don’t have photos for this white one, but there were about 5 around the car. Here is a photo of a big one on the blue model 3
This is caused by small contaminants in the clear coat, they sand it down to remove the speck, but for some reason don’t take a few seconds to polish out the haze. After polishing out the haze, priming the car, using Gyeon prep, I gave the paint 3 layers of Mohs with 1 hr of curing time between layers.
The coating is incredibly easy to layer on and flatten out. One thing I did not like is Autopia sent me last years Mohs, they updated it with a new formula and gave it a frosted bottle. As you can see here there were some hard bits of crystal when I dropped the Mohs onto the cloth...
Otherwise it was still easy to use, I hope it didn’t “go bad”
Anyway here are the finished shots after the spray sealant was used.
Of coarse, I prepped and coated the glossy plastic on the interior
The front is absolutely incredible, I would say it looks like a concept car, or cgi that can’t be possible to exist, yet it does....
Another fun fact: there are no emblems except the T logo that is completely flat and non intruding. No numbers or letters. I think this is the way to go. Nobody really needs to know your car is the XXX9000 version. It’s a Tesla, an electric car. That simple.
Last photo before sunset.
So as I handed back the key card, she asked if I want to drive it around the block real quick. How could I refuse? Except as we made it around she said to take it on the road around the corner where the limit is 50. She told me to go ahead and floor it, I stepped down, and we were at 50. No revving no noise it just GOES! Unbelievable. This is the entry model! Anyway I really felt something there. Maybe I have a Tesla in my future.
