OCDetail - Tesla Model X Cquartz Finest and Xpel

[Jsmooth]

I`ve gotten a reputation for being the Tesla guy in the area when it comes to detailing and protection needs. Well the Model X just came out and we`ve already worked on 4! This was the first one and we actually picked it up from the delivery center after the customer waited 3 years. He thought that rather than see his car before my work he would let us pick it up do our thing with it and then take it to him looking like a new car should. We had this X in the shop for 4 weeks because we took care of more than appearances. There a number of small issues we worked with Tesla on to fix as well. Lets get on with it!

Taking delivery of a car he waited almost 4 years for! This is a very early number Sig and the customers willingness to show patients and not even see the car... IS beyond me!

P.S. I think Tesla really nailed this color! Traditionally I would think of champagne or metallic gold colors being reserved for old people like Ronkh when his back won`t let him get in and out the vette anymore and he buys a hybrid camery but this color looks great! Same service on above one. And you guys have time please check out my new web site and give me some thoughts. Still working on it but almost done. A local forum member IAMALEXANDER actually did it for me! He put a ton of work into and has been awesome! www.bayareadetails.com (http://www.bayareadetails.com)

Some people love the X and some don`t .....I think they look killer...sweet looking ride. You are the Tesla Man.....lol

[mjlinane]

Awesome work, Joe!

[Priyaka]

Great job! Loving the red.... Real sweet

[512detail]

that looks awesome (the finish- not a huge fan of the car) but your work is stunning

4 years to wait? wow- that`s some mad patience. I don`t think I could wait 4 years for a car.

every time I see a tesla (there`s a blue one in my neighborhood) I think of how good you could make it look and that they should take it from Texas to CA immediately!

I was gonna say what an incredible job you did................. Till the last paragraph. :(

But then I realized that this couldn`t be the real JSMOOTH, cuz the car ain`t black........

Now I have to find my walker to get to the potty.......

[Ronkh]

Cool web site btw. Under the part with meet our staff, if you run your mouse over the pics you hide and come back.

Almost like playing whack a mole

[Oldfordisbetter]
