    Is this normal for Tesla? I get having a little curb rash but the rest of the finish looks like it's one strong wheel cleaner from melting the rest of the way off.

    The paint looked great though - definitely liquid glass! What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I don’t think this is normal. The front wheel was just as bad with curb rash and tire gashes. My neighborhood is mostly Indian and most of the women don’t drive and I don’t even think the majority have licenses. I’ve seen quite a few cars with the student driver sticker and it’s always in reference to the wife learning how to drive. I’m pretty sure this is the result of an inexperienced driver that should be driving an 09 Corolla instead of a $64K Tesla until she gets this driving thing under control.

    Ha, that reminds me of a guy I worked with many years ago. He used to drive a little commuter sh!tbox, but one day he shows up in a brand new Toyota Highlander. So I ask "new car?" and he replies scornfully, "no, my wife's". I guess I looked at him quizzically, because he continued "that thing cost more than my second house...not my first house, my SECOND house".

    I'll never rinseless because I find washing with my foam gun does a much better,safer job getting the car clean. A big reason why I moved to Florida is I can wash using a hose year round.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    You can't beat that way of touchless washing. It's really easy!

    I've done this my wife's SUV but I'm scared to try it on my own. I fear that I'll have some dirt left over and even with using a drying aid I might scratch something.

    Not with a great pre-wash soap like Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam, DIY Detail Incredible Suds is also a great choiceWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
