Hello everyone once more!
Just a quick write up on 1 of 2 Tesla's I got to work on recently.This happened to be a 2-Day old Silver Tesla.
Had originally been contacted by the future owners a week before delivery. Knew they wanted OptiCoat & decided to give me a call. Was scheduled to be delivered on a Tuesday, but wasn't available till the next day. So this is how it went down on Wednesday.
Product/tools list:
Wheels/Tires/Arches
-LAs Totally awesome cleaner
-CG Maxi Suds
-IronX'
-HydrO2
-OptiCoat
-Various brushes/ wheel woolies
Paint/glass
-Maxi Suds spiked with CG grime reaper
-UWW+
-Nano Scrub mitt (fine)
-IronX
-OptiCoat
-OptiSeal
-Rupes15
-B&S Green pad
-OC primer
Plastics
-LAs totally awesome cleaner
-Variopus brushes
-BlackWow Pro
Ok so here goes.
This is how i got her. Not too much going on

They instructed the dealer not to touch it upon delivery, so there were a few small issues.

Then it was time for the wheels/tires/arches.
Nothing crazy here either.

You can see some yellowing as i remove the old tire dressing

IronX after some agitation

Overexposed the picture so you could see the inside of the wheel (prior to agitation). Didn't expect so much bleeding on a 2 day old car.

I then gave the wheel barrows some Hydro2 lovin!
On to the plastics. Getting them ready for some BlackWow Pro.

Finally, on to the paint!
Spiked "foam" bath. Really need to get a real foam gun haha

It was then washed, & time for IronX.
There was almost none, this was about as visible as it got

Car was then clayed using clay mitt. Turned out the drivers side took the most beating on transport. Drivers side was sand paper compared to passenger's.
All taped up!

All paint & glass was then polished with a B&S green pad & OC primer. Very few light defects were in the paint so i didn't take any pics (not because my inexperience with my dslr didn't allow for me to be able to capture them :laughing:)
So here are the afters!
