Tesla Model S 75D - Coating

My brother and sister-in-law recently picked up a new Tesla Model S 75D and of course they wanted to be sure their investment was properly protected for years to come. This meant two things: Opti-Coat Pro+ and Opti-Glass Pro. Opti-Coat Pro+ is a lifetime coating that comes with a 7 year manufacturer warranty and will protect from harmful chemicals and UV rays. Opti-Glass Pro is a ceramic glass coating that lasts about 2 years and provides some serious chemical and water resistance, which is good considering the entire roof on this car is glass.

Thankfully, this paint wasn't as soft as I had heard it might be and it polished out very well prior to coating. It was well worth the five hour drive to their house to get this done and I look forward to seeing it again and again! Thanks Nik and Michelle!

Volkswagen Golf R

Alex had me bring his Golf R back in for a clean up and this is an important post, not meant to embarrass Alex. CERAMIC COATINGS ARE NOT BULLETPROOF. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Alex had a mark from he thinks was a leaf on his hood and after washing decided to clay bar the area. For me, not knowing the condition of the clay, it is hard to say what happened. But the end result was scratching. Luckily, it was the coating that took the brunt of the damage and not his paint.

I was able to polish out the damage and re-coat the area and all is well with the universe again. I will say that if he had consulted with me prior to the clay, I would have told him to wash the vehicle, use Power Clean on that area, and once all washed and dry, not touch it for a week. The sunlight would have acted as an exfoliant with the coating to shed the contaminants. Sounds like magic...and it really does work.

Live and learn! Thanks Alex, enjoy!

Volkswagen Golf R32

Elivia brought her R32 back in for its first wash and headlamp bulb replacement. When I told her not to wash the car for a month, she successfully did that and made sure it was filthy! That's why she got the coating though, to ensure that cleaning it would be easy! She also had a low beam Xenon bulb that was dying last I saw the car and had since burned out. I ordered her brand new Phillips brand bulbs, which are an OEM supplier at a fraction of the cost, and new lock rings for the bulbs. After installation, I cleared the faults relating to the bulb and aimed the bulbs properly. Now she doesn't have a dirty car or have to worry about getting pulled over...at least for the bulb! Thanks Elivia, enjoy!
