Ceramic Coating for Tesla

Tesla clear coat is generally softer than most European paint, which cuts both ways: it corrects relatively easily, but it also picks up wash marring very quickly. Owners often notice swirls within months of delivery, particularly on the solid black and deep blue finishes.

How we approach a Tesla

• Paint depth measured before any correction — there is less to work with than on many cars
• Gentler correction stages, because soft clear coat can be over-worked easily
• Coating chosen for hardness, to compensate for a soft factory finish
• Attention to the panel gaps and trim that collect polish residue
• Glass coating, which makes a real difference with the large windscreen

New delivery is the ideal time. Coating a Tesla in its first weeks means sealing paint that has not yet been marked by a supercharger-stop wipe-down or a dealer wash, and the soft clear coat then sits under a much harder protective layer.

The same applies to other EVs with soft factory finishes — BYD, Polestar and Kia EV models often behave similarly under the machine.
