The seats have been recovered at some point and the trim was hydro dipped for the wood grain look. I actually think it looks pretty good but everyone has thier own taste.

Tesla Model S, Paint Correction, CQuartz Finest Coating, wheels off coating.

New client from out of state recently took delivery of their new Tesla Model S here at the Eden Prairie, MN store. We had tried to time the delivery so I could detail it the weekend they received the car but it came in 2 weeks earlier than planned and they had to come back down again a couple weeks later. However, Tesla was nice enough to have a loaner for them while I worked on their car all weekend…how cool is that! As with most new cars this one had a lot of the typical marring, scratches, and even a few areas where it had been polished on.

Wash – ONR

Great work, how`s the garage coming along?

Thanks!

It`s coming along, just a lot slower then I`d like. Basically working on it as I have time and money from doing cars. :/

Interior framing is done and door installed going into house


Service room/half bath framed




Overhead door and opener installed




I got the majority of the wiring installed (early pic) except for the overhead LED lighting and outdoor outlets....that will be a fun project.


Upgraded to a new 200amp panel in the house


And added a 100amp sub panel into the shop. Some of the breakers need to be swapped out and a couple added. When its done I`ll have (2) 50 amp outlets for EV charging, (2) 40 amp outlets for future use (welder, plasma cutter ect..) (2) 30 amp outlets, and a bunch of 20 amp with multiple dedicated circuits.

Really easy, but I can see the average consumer messing it up badly. I had one small blemish I had to touch up between the rear bumper cover and the quarter panel. Polished up easy and no issues with recoating.

So not Ron proof

So not Ron proof

LOL! It`s really easy, but it`s wipe on wipe off...don`t let it sit like some other coatings and don`t do too large of an area either. I also used a few more towels to level then I normally would. As long as you take your time and inspect each area well as your working it`s a piece of cake.

I would toss the (single) applicator they give you in favor of the CarPro block and MF suede.

Cool

Thanks
