I had this write up posted in the detail section and thought the USA section might enjoy it.

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!

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

 

And finally the results!

Good job!

But why is this in the modern muscle section?

 

I know, not exactly a "muscle car" It is although an American car, and this is the only section for them...

 

Mario we actually have a "GREEN" section in the general auto forum area, let me know if you want me to move it for you. Great work!

 

Thanks DJ. I didn't know about the "green" forum. It's still an "USA" car so i think we can leave it.

 

And there's a "detailing" section as well. Great post nonetheless, though

 

Thanks. I just thought some American car fans would enjoy the write up. It was originally posted in the Detail forum a few weeks ago for everyone there.

 

Nice work! I use a number of the Adams products and love them. But the post also reminded why I could never own another black car!

 

Thanks Bruce. Black can definitely be the most rewarding color and the least rewarding color!
