New client from out of state recently took delivery of their new Tesla Model S here at the Eden Prairie, MN store. We had tried to time the delivery so I could detail it the weekend they received the car but it came in 2 weeks earlier than planned and they had to come back down again a couple weeks later. However, Tesla was nice enough to have a loaner for them while I worked on their car all weekend…how cool is that! As with most new cars this one had a lot of the typical marring, scratches, and even a few areas where it had been polished on.


Process:

Wash – ONR
Wheels – Griots heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner & various brushes.
Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 3:1
Paint Prep - Nanos Skin Towel and Glide as lube
Paint Correction - Groit's Fast Correct Cream on the Rupes MKII21 with Griot's MF BOSS pads followed by HD Polish+ on the G15 with yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupes LHR75e and TA50.
Glass – Megs D120
Trim – Opti-Lens
Coating Prep – Eraser & IPA wipe-down
Coating- 2 coats CQuartz Finest

Great Job! Crazy how a new car can come in looking like that!
 
Well done! Those sun shots tell it all. Thanks for sharing.
 
Beautiful work as always Chad! Nicely done.

Interested in why a traditional polish & Eraser wipedown was used instead of using Essence as the primer for Finest.
 
As always get work! How do you like the new Rupes Mk 2 over the Griots Boss polisher?
 
Thanks guys! :)

Thanks Mike.

I'm holding off on using it with Finest for a while until there is more long term testing.

Thanks! The new Rupes now has more power but I still prefer many of the features of the BOSS, mainly the instant start, variable trigger, and rubber grips. At the end of the day they both do the same job so their is no wrong choice, just comes down to preference.
