The Essential Protection Package

For any new or existing Tesla, we recommend a comprehensive approach to address the unique characteristics of its soft paint. Our process isn't just about adding protection; it's about creating the perfect foundation first.

  • ✓Meticulous Paint Correction: Nearly every new Tesla arrives with minor imperfections like swirl marks or sanding marks from the factory. Our first step is a multi-stage paint correction to safely remove these flaws, creating a perfectly flat, high-gloss surface.
  • ✓Strategic PPF (Clear Bra): Tesla's soft paint is highly susceptible to rock chips. We strongly recommend applying clear, self-healing Paint Protection Film to vulnerable areas like the front bumper, hood, and fenders.

Solutions for the Entire Lineup

Whether you need durable, long-term protection for a daily-driven Model 3 or Y, or a flawless, concours-level finish befitting a flagship Model S or X, we have you covered. Worried about your white seats? We offer specialized interior ceramic coatings that create a stain-resistant barrier on your vegan leather, easily preventing dye transfer from blue jeans.

Locking in the Finish:
Gtechniq Ceramic Coatings

Once the paint is perfected and shielded, we lock in the finish with a professional-grade ceramic coating. This provides the ultimate defense against the environmental damage that plagues soft paint.

Added Hardness

The coating adds a measurable layer of hardness, making the surface far more resistant to light scratches and swirl marks from washing.

Chemical Resistance

Provides a barrier against acidic bird droppings, bug splatter, and water spots, which can quickly etch into unprotected Tesla paint.

Effortless Cleaning

The super-slick, hydrophobic surface means dirt and grime wash away with ease, making your maintenance routine simple and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

I heard Tesla paint is soft. Is that true?+
Yes, in our extensive experience, the clear coat on most Tesla models is softer and thinner than that of many other manufacturers. This makes it more prone to scratching and etching, which is why paint correction and a high-quality ceramic coating or PPF are so important.
My brand-new Tesla has swirl marks. Shouldn't the service center fix that?+
While Tesla may offer to polish the vehicle, their delivery centers are not specialized detailing shops. We use advanced techniques to guarantee a higher level of perfection and ensure the finish is truly flawless before any protection is applied.
Will a ceramic coating or PPF interfere with Autopilot cameras?+
Not at all. We are highly experienced in working on Tesla vehicles. We apply coatings and film carefully around sensors and cameras, ensuring our process has absolutely no impact on the function of Autopilot.
