Silver Tesla Model 3 
Paint Correction
&
Ceramic Coating

Another beautiful Tesla was up for some Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating. 

​

This vehicle is the second Tesla for this family. Their first vehicle was the black Tesla mentioned earlier and the owners fell in love with that one and decided to get another. As Tesla owners ourselves at H2NO, it's fair to say that once you get one, you won't want to go back!

 

This vehicle isn't going to be driven as much as the other car so the owners decided to simply go with Paint Correction and a Ceramic Coating and avoid PPF altogether. This is a very common thing for most serious car owners as unless you will be driving the vehicle 15k to 20k highway miles per year, a Ceramic Coating is all you will need.

​

Cleaning the vehicle was very easy as the bugs and dirt came off very easily with very little clay necessary. After a short while, it was prepped and ready for the Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating. 

​

As with all Teslas, the paint is extremely soft. So nothing more than a light polishing pad along with a light polishing compound was necessary to perform the Paint Correction. Being a fairly new vehicle and well taken care of, the Paint Correction was done in only a few passes with no swirls, trails or hazing left behind. After wiping off all residual polish, the only big step left was to apply the Ceramic Coating.

​

Now that the Paint Correction process is out of the way, we begin the Ceramic Coating step. The entire car was prepped with IGL Pre-coat to make sure there was absolutely nothing left on the paint. We gave the vehicle one coat of the base layer and two hours later gave it its topcoat. The Ceramic Coating process itself can be very time consuming if it is to be done correctly. A sedan this size can easily take 5+ hours from pre-coat to the final layer of the Ceramic Coating being wiped off. Any company able to do multiple layers of a Ceramic Coating in under 4 hours is either not waiting long enough between coats, not doing all the coats they say they are, or simply using inferior products.

 

After giving the owners the do's and don'ts of Ceramic Coatings, the car was ready for the photoshoot. Thanks to Paint Correction the car is are now scratch free and has a mirror finish. They also have UV protection, heat protection, scratch resistance, anti-fouling, and much more thanks to the 4-year Ceramic Coating.
