09 Tesla correction (obsidian black)

This Tesla is the first one I have a chance to work on, I have seen a few on the road and they have zipped by a good clip.

Typical new car RIDS, and swirls also tons of dried wax in the edges of the clear bra. No incredible before and after pics as the car would not move after the wash as it was out of juice.

Using GI grey wool pad to cut thru the defects



Reverse buffing angle on buttress, just like on Lamborghini Gallardo's





Nice pop in the flake of the finish



Battery set up(kool eco friendly performance)



As close as I could get to a sun shot as the the trees were in the way, I should be thankful though as it was 100% degrees here yesterday

Looks alot like a lotus to me.. Didn't even know Tesla was even around still. I haven't ever had the pleasure of seeing one myself. Looks good. The flake really pop's out there Bob.

Re: 09 Tesla correction (obsidian black)

Lotus supplied the chassis from the Elise and also helped design the car.

Chrysler also recently showed an EV of their own based on the Lotus Europa, very nimble, light weight cars which are excellent for EV designs.

Denzil, I am confused...... on detailingbliss one might think you are not fond of Rich(gloss-it owner) with the copy and paste of a thread from here on autopia, btw the pad is great as nothing that does not produce results gets into the starting line-up of my service.
