    2021 Tesla Model Y

    2021 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor
    Midnight Silver Metallic
    303 mile range, 155mph top speed
    0-60 in 3.5seconds



    New client, new car, was interested in a coating to maximize the protection of their new ride.
    Best paint I’ve seen on a Tesla to date. Still a bunch of defects, but not as bad as I’ve seen on previous vehicles.

    The ‘details’:

    Gary Dean Shampoo.
    McKee’s37 Iron Remover.
    Medium Clay Mitt.
    Adam’s Wheel Cleaner.
    Adam’s Tire and Rubber Cleaner.
    Adam’s Rinse and Coat to seal wheels/calipers.
    Flex 3401.
    Flex pixie.
    DeFelsko PTG.
    ScanGrip/GYEON lighting.
    Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
    Adam’s Surface Prep.
    Adam’s Graphene Coating.
    Blackfire Tire Dressing.
    Autofinesse Glass Cleaner.
    McKee’s37 Quick Interior Detailer.
    GYEON Leather Shield on all seating surfaces.
    Metro Vacuum.

    Thanks for looking!





    Strange spotting/chemical marks on the black trim

    How is the Tesla paint to work with? Is it "soft" like a Toyota?

    Nice work as usual !!!! Finicky paint or not... you always win.


    I done several of these as well and I am amaze at the factory installed defects option every single time.

    Plus.... I find the mentality of a Tesla owner quite different than most. Most new car owner wouldn't stand for the fitment and paint issues at delivery but the Tesla owners I dealt with seems to take this as a price of admission. Maybe I am too old school. LOL

    That literally made me laugh out loud

    It’s the Tesla equivalent of a Pontiac Aztec.

    Something tells me Scott wouldn’t trade either of his Porsches for the Y.

    Model X is uglier. On this one the wheels look pretty ugly with that huge center cap.

    It’s very glossy now, great job.
