thanks guys!

At OCDetail we have already worked on 30 Model X's! Were known for "bringing the shine" when it comes to paint corrections, protective coating applications, and installing paint protection film. I know we've personally wrapped 6 Model X's front to back with Xpel ultimate. This one though was...

Thanks guys!

Thank you! I've corrected and coated over 800 Tesla model S, and this car only had 60 miles on it that I put on it driving it to the shop. There were deep sanding scratch clusters all over the car, and heavy rids that polish wouldn't touch. You can see here all the swirls are gone and this...

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...

We did a full correction and coating on this model s, the 143rd this year. We shipped 4 other cars that same day but this is only one I got pics of BUSY!

Thanks for the shout out Ray! TO the OP I've corrected and coated 800 tesla's and I was a tester for essence for 6 months pre release. So this will sound funny but use a microfiber finishing disc with essence and make a couple cross hatch sections and see what it looks like. If you still having...

Ohhh I know whats going on! So this is what is known as "sticky subi paint" on the factory painted side. I had a ton of luck against this paint(after pulling my hair experiencing what you did) with m205 and water. Basically using Kevin Brown style. If you need more details I can happily walk you...

Hi, sorry for the frustration! I used nothing but Black Fire for a very long time and had great success with it. But what your experience I can only remember happening hand full of times. I know you said you washed the recently but was it dirty when it rained? I'm rarely impressed by rain beads...

I Would start by..... Telling an employee or two to figure it out, then goto my office and play on Autogeek

I tried a couple other coatings on top of essence and I would not be confident putting anything other than carpro coatings on top of it. How ever I run over an existing coating application with essence and top it with finest. That came out awesome! And created a really crazy glow.

Awesome work! the gloss from essence is insane! As for using it as a one step and expecting dramatic results against hammered paint. I would compound it first. Used in that manor you would be left with amazing finish. With out compound first against heavy damage your going to be left with...

Try Gtech "Matte Dash/Matte Leather" works great leaves just clean appearance

This really depends on the paint. On harder paints like an MBZ I saw very little actually defect removal or filling but on softer paint I was able to achieve insane results in a one step. I'd just do a test spot before assuming it will work in every instance. Essence plays extremely well with...

YEAH! Rasky didn't post this! I just called him out for being an my "ultra elitist buddy" We have a saying in the shop that comes specifically when it comes to removing rear mounting brackets on an audi. Customer : "do you remove the mounting bracket on my s4 to do behind the rear plate holder"...
