Another local Tesla guy wanted to get his recently purchased P85 fully corrected and coated with CQuartz Finest. This one wasn't in bad shape, but the owner wanted it perfect prior to coating, which is the ideal way to do it. 2 days went into this one and I had Ryan out to help me get it done in time for its appointment for clear film on the front of the car.




Not the easiest color to capture defects on, but here's a couple I took pics of....

CF spoiler with matte finish taped off for safety. You do NOT want to try getting polish or anything off of one of these....tape to be safe!

Don't forget the underside....

After pulling the wheels, each of the wells was cleaned and calipers were coated before remounting the wheels.

Freshly cleaned and coated for protection and gloss!

Back side of wheel also done, cleaned, coated. Not the best paint coverage from the factory though...

About a week later the client returned after having the clear bra installed on the whole front to get it coated in CQuartz Finest for complete coverage. So the whole car is coated, and then the film was installed, and now the film coated to have the best of both worlds!

Awesome work! I love the car and color..

I just hate to think about the damage the clear bra installers could have put under the clear bra since it's supposed to hide swirls!

It was done by Premier in Fremont CA and they are the BEST. They don't do sloppy work like that. And while film has the 'ability' to hide swirls, that's not what its supposed to do.

HD Cut and HD Polish got the job done with MF finishing discs on the Rupes and LC tangerine for polishing.
