2014 Tesla Model S interior detail, leather coating, paint correction, clear bra installation and Modesta BC-05 coating project.
The owner reached out to me maybe two months ago to discuss protection options when he ordered his Tesla. After spending some time discussing his options with him and educating him, he set his appointment for as soon as the car arrived. I ask him to inform the service center(technically not a dealership) to not wash or touch the car any more than they had to. While we completely dropped the ball getting sufficient before shots of the whole project, we did take photos of some of the more hammered areas. Swirl marks were all over in typical fashion and then there was the stuff pictured too....wow....rough straight from the factory.
The only sanding required was the area pictured on the hood. Despite the sanding, there was still defects that were not correctable, there, as well as on the passenger fender(pictured). You can identify those spots in the pictures.
We corrected his paint with our silver package, installed clear bra paint protection film over the whole hood, whole front fenders, front bumper and luggage access and then capped off the paint with Modesta BC-05. The completion of the project got rolled back due to a factory defect I found on the hood clear bra piece after it was completely installed. My whole roll had minor defects in it result in my calling the customer and informing him we needed more time to fix the defect found in my widest ppf bulk roll. The piece being installed in the picture was the first piece. Days later we removed the film and reinstalled another piece before the owner got it. Nothing being sneaked by on our part!
Wheels were removed for a proper cleaning and coating application. Tires were dressed with Carpro DLux(can you say $20 of product to dress tires? )
Interior received a full detail. Only area we got before pictures of was the rear. Though, you can imagine that the rest looked identical to the trunk area.
Leather seats were treated with Opti-Guard.
Glass coated as well.
Enjoy...and as always, feedback is welcome.
Pro-tip:
Check the surface temperature as you go. The cooler, the better.
Paint Protection Film ( Clear Bra ) installation:

All buttoned up and ready for pick up. After many days of work, we finished the car just before the owner picked it up. I did my best to get direct sun shots as I typically do for projects. But I had very little time to get some sunlight in my shots at all.

Thank you.
No, I have not. I was told it would last months but can't quantify that myself. I've had it on my rubber trim on my work truck for months and it still looks freaking awesome. Rubber tires that are exposed to more stretching and more extremes would probably not last as long if I had to say.
I can say this though, it looked better than anything else I have ever used and of course it was dry to the touch.
I asked the client to report back on how long it would last for him.

2013 Mini GP minor correction and Opti-Coat Pro install:
Here are some shots of the poor clear bra installation quality that the owner got from a different shop. He has expressed a desire to have it replaced sometime in the near future.

Nice cars. Tesla's QA needs to be spoken with though. Panel gap differences between cars can vary wildly and some of the trim has not been up to par for a $75k+ car. All of the paint is hammered straight from the factory.

Teaser for a huge project we've been on for days.
7k mile 991 that had brutalized paint. He came to Atlanta from Alabama to have us restore the paint, coat it and protect it with a very extensive clear bra / paint protection film installation.
