Many of you have seen this car and have had the pleasure of meeting the awsome couple that owns this beautiful MS Performance. To the eyes of the majority, this car with its beautiful unique red paint that many would love to have, but can't was perfect, but to me it needed work :cool:. I wanted the reflection of this car to slap me right on my face everytime I look at it and that wasn't happening due to the amount of surface scratches that were on the car. Just like on the previous article I wrote on the Silver Tesla I did for the Lee Family, many steps where taken to prepare the car for polishing and coating.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures as well as the end result. Feel free to post or message me any questions you might have concerning the care of your Tesla or any other vehicle for that matter.

Vehicle at arrival (looks like he told the wife..honey, car is going to Pete on Monday, jump on the car, we're going for a road trip :biggrin:)

Time to correct it (I remove the scratches. I don't use products with fillers that will cover the defects and reappear a month or 2 down the road)

I'm having trouble seeing the Signature script in the turn signal triangles. I looked closely at both pictures but couldn't see it. Are my eyes going bad?

I do love the white seats. :)
 
I purchased a Tesla with 5k miles on it this week. The only downside is the original owner put it through some car washes and there are swirls in the paint. Would you be interested in doing near the same job on mine? I live in Sarasota.:smile:

It'll be my pleasure to work on your Tesla Sir :smile:.
