2010 Tesla Roadster Sport Detail

This Tesla had about five hundred miles on it and needed a new car prep. This is the just released 2.5 Roadster Sport all electric super car. This particular car is worth just shy of $150,000! Car was in OK shape. It had plenty of hard water spot's and swirls that required a two stage correction. Hope you enjoy!

Products used on the exterior:
2 Bucket's, Grit Guard, and Caddies
Adam's prototype foam gun...soon to be released!
Adam's Car Shampoo
Adams wheel and fender brushes
Power Stick
Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner
Adam's All Purpose Cleaner
Adam's In and Out Spray
Adam's Detail Spray
Adam's Clay bar
Adam's Undercarriage Spray
Adam's Waterless Wash
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Ton's of Adam's Double Soft, Waterless Wash, and Glass Towel's

Paint Correction:
Porter Cable 7424XP
Porter Cable cordless drill
Adam's 7.5in foam pads
Adam's 4in spot foam pads
Adam's Swirl and Haze
Adam's Fine Machine Polish
Finished with Adam's Americana Premium Paste Wax

Interior:
Adam's Leather Cleaner
Adam's Leather Conditioner
Adam's Foam Applicators
Adam's Interior Brush
Metro Vac with various attachments

The Detail:
Car came in fairly clean





Wheel wells and tires were sprayed down with All Purpose Cleaner


Wheels sprayed down with Green Wheel Cleaner


Agitated with various Adam's brushes including the Power Stick




Foamed with our soon to be released foam gun



It was a hot day, so the car was sprayed down with Detail Spray to neutralize the water before drying.


Deck lid was opened to show the batteries and PEM (power electronic's). These areas were sprayed down with Waterless Wash rather than a hose and water...can you guess why?




Car was also air dried with a MetroVac Vac n Blo


Now for the paint. Car had tons of holograms and swirls, and one spot were bird dropping had a chance to bake in.



Car was fully clayed



I started with the bird etchings first using a Porter Cable cordless drill with Adam's 4" foam pads. Yellow, Orange, and White.




Results


Now for the PC 7424XP. The two stage process include Adam's 7.5" Orange foam pad with Swirl and Haze Remover, followed by 7.5" White foam pad with Fine Machine Polish.



The Tesla was then protected with two coats of Adam's Americana


Plastic and rubber trim inside and out was then protected with Adam's Super VRT and In and Out Spray





The interior was wiped down with Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner, then protected with Adam's Leather Conditioner
