Ultimate Guide to Tesla Ceramic Coating: Protection and Aesthetics

Theres a reason so many people who own Tesla’s look to protect their ride as soon as they take delivery. California has the most strict VOC regulations in the world. And as Tesla has continued to expand, many of its cars are painted in non-controlled environments. These factors equate to one thing…..a super soft and fragile finish. 

      A super soft finish means that it’s far easier to get chipped and scratched from washing and driving. Even wiping down the paint with a soft, dry microfiber towel can scratch the finish. OEM paint finishes are already thinner than ever, thinner than a single Post It note!!!!
