    Leather Care for Tesla Napa Leather

    Hi All, Got a 2015 Tesla Model S with "NextGen" Napa leather seats.

    Scratches on front windshield

    Hey all, My buddy picked up these scratches on his front windshield. You can feel them a little bit but the glass isn't actually cracked. Any suggestions? I've looked through Mike's polishing guide and other pages but not sure what is best. Can I try some heavy cut polish by hand to start? Thanks!

    Issue with maintenance of CQuartz

    Hi all, I applied Cquartz to my vehicle about a year ago and for the most part it has been great in terms of protection.

    Suggestions to maintain Tesla Nappa Leather

    Hi all, I have a 3 month old Tesla with dark gray Nappa leather. So far I have vacuumed it regularly and periodically misted and wiped off distilled water with a microfiber. The owners manual says not to use any products on the leather but to me this doesn't make sense (leather is a natural...

    Hi all, The cars in my family accumulate a lot of brake dust (even washing every 1-2 weeks). I'm looking at some kind of wheel protectant that has good durability.
