Doesn't the Nano slow things down if you have to polish so much tiny areas?
The wheels now look small on the tesla. I love the 21" turbine wheels.
Thanks!
I think the Nano may add a little more time but it allows me to correct those areas easier and possibly even better as I didn't have a 1" DA prior, just rotary.
Not a fan of these new wheels. They still look good IMO but they have a recessed channel behind the face that holds water, and in MN winter it will likely freeze and throw the wheels out of balance...very poor design IMO. They were easier to coat though, which Bryan Burnworth also pointed out.

Love that color - great turn out. I love how Finest looks on those big sweeping hoods (frunks, just hate that word lol) - it gives off such nice liquid looking reflections. Nice job bro!

Dang! Look at those reflections! Nicely done Chad!
I'm not understanding the coating prep stage. Why would another manufacturers paint prep product be utilized instead of the corresponding product from the same manufacturer as the coating to be installed? Especially a pro grade coating with warranty?

Those look like the new 19 inch turbine wheels. Tesla owners who wanted the turbine look but didn't want the 21 inch wheels had to go 3rd party (like me). Then Tesla made the 19 inch cyclone wheels, but they were pretty unattractive because they were your basic 5 spoke double turbine rather than continuous. So, Tesla's new offering is the 19 inch turbine.
We'll see if they are winter issues. Just make sure you tighten to 129 ft-lbs!
