Tesla Model S New Car Detail
 
17 Attachment(s)
I had a longtime client just pick up one of these "Electric cars" and after detailing the vehicle it has some cool factor(Also there was one on the road on the way to Sacramento on Thanksgiving day and it looked pretty nice on the road). The finish was nice overall but there were the usual factory blemishes that need attention(Sand scratch tracers and rotary holograms) but after those issues were dealt with the car looked really good.

Pic of the car @ the Tesla factory(which is less than a mile from my shop).
