2018 Tesla Model S P100D

2018 Tesla Model S P100D
Midnight Silver Metallic
21” black arachnid wheels
0-60 in 2.5 seconds(!)

My client just purchased this new Tesla to replace a previous one. I am slowly but surely coating all of his vehicles.

Paint was in ‘as new’ shape, which means, full of orange peel, solvent pop, dirt nibs, water spots, marring, etc. A shame their quality control is not very good in the fit and finish department.

It was also covered top to bottom, front to back in artillery fungus! Oh, what fun!

I corrected it, glossed it up and coated this electric Q-ship up!!!

It was delivered with the incorrect wheel/tire combo. It has 19”s on it now. Tesla delivered the proper wheels (the unicorn of the Tesla world, they are that difficult to find/get) to me and I cleaned and coated them prior to installing them.

Looks awesome! While Tesla is a great car, the quality just is not there. This is an 85-S I detailed a few weeks ago after it had some body work done at a Tesla dealer after a slight mishap. 4 months to get a new fender for it. Anything wrong with this pic? If they can get the QC right, the'll be a contender.....but not seeing it yet...

Ludicrous!

Looks great Scott!

Great job sir! Love the 19s

Scott, that Megs Wash Plus+ powerscrub-like wash soap does a really good job removing/killing the artillery fungus during your pre washes. Perhaps it is the TSP in the wash that does the job.

DBAILEY: Thanks for the info! Noted and filed away!!

Amazing work Sizzle... I've yet to touch a Tesla... I quoted one last year and the PTG readings made me jump out of my boots! Barely any paint to work with.

@Firehouse - Is that a new Telsa color scheme? I feel bad for your client.
