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



Adam's Foam Gun.


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

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.

Nice...but do you work from your house?

mario@adam

Whatever is convenient. Adam's Manufacturing is a block away but sometimes its easier at my home.

Wow even the steering wheel and most of the center console was taken from the Lotus Elise/Exige lol, and they charge 150k for a cosmetic change + a few batteries?

Nice detail btw, amazing how such a new car can be in such a poor shape after a while

how long does a detail job like this take?

i did wash, clay bar and wax on the wifes car over the weekend by hand and have to space it out over 2 days because my arms were killing me.

mario@adam

This was a day and a half job. Detailing can definitely be a very tiring job!
