WHY TESLA OWNERS CHOOSE US

Tesla's single-stage water-based paint is softer and thinner than most manufacturers. It scratches easily, shows swirl marks quickly, and requires a gentler approach to correction. Our technicians use paint depth gauges on every Tesla to ensure safe polishing without burning through the thin clear coat. Ceramic coating is especially recommended — it adds a protective layer that the factory paint desperately needs.

Tesla Paint Characteristics

Tesla uses a single-stage water-based paint system that is notoriously soft — typically 80-100 microns total thickness vs 120-150 for German cars. This means every touch matters. Drive-through washes will destroy a Tesla's finish in months. Our hand wash technique and ceramic coating recommendations are specifically calibrated for Tesla's unique paint characteristics.

WHAT TESLA OWNERS SAY

"My Model Y's paint was covered in swirl marks after just one year. Stage 2 correction brought it back to showroom condition. Added the 3-year ceramic and it still beads water perfectly six months later. These guys know Tesla paint."

TESLA DETAILING FAQ

Is Tesla paint really different from other cars? expand_more
Yes. Tesla uses a water-based single-stage paint that is significantly softer and thinner than traditional automotive paint. It scratches more easily, shows swirl marks faster, and requires specialized polishing compounds and lower pressure. Our technicians measure paint depth before every correction to ensure safe polishing.
What is the best protection for Tesla paint? expand_more
Ceramic coating is the single best investment for a Tesla. It adds a hard protective layer (9H hardness) over the soft factory paint, preventing micro-scratches from daily driving. We recommend at minimum a 1-year ceramic coating for any Tesla, and a 3-5 year coating for owners who plan to keep the vehicle.
Can you detail my Tesla at a Supercharger? expand_more
We can detail your Tesla anywhere — your home, office, or any location with enough space. We bring our own water and power, so no hookups needed. Many clients schedule detailing at home while their Tesla charges overnight.
