    Suggestions for quick detail (in between washes) on new M3P

    Building on joebruins' comment above, I've used Meguair's G3626 waterless wash, it does a good job.

    How do you feel about the soft bristle brush at a manual car wash?

    I wouldn't use it. It's not difficult to bring your own clean wash mitt and products.

    Paint correction prior to PPF?

    joebruin is right! Have a critical look at the paint with a very strong light or in full sunlight. Look at each panel from an oblique angle.

    How do you use your iPhone in the car?

    I use this mount attached to the top left back of my screen. This places the iphone between the top of my steering wheel and my tesla screen so that I don't have to look down. I use the phone for waze or google maps, any "hey siri" duties, or tesla stats.

    My search for a spray sealant that protects and gives tons of gloss is over...

    joebruin thanks for posting this, I see that you've posted many times around detailing. Is this a topcoat? Did you throw away your towels (SiO2) after applying the product?

    DIY ceramic coating on new Model 3?

    My M3 had a ton of fine scratches at delivery. I spent a full day where I washed, dried, then used a DA polisher and meguiar's polish taking the scratches out. I then cleaned each panel with an isopropyl solution (IPA) and applied Cquartz 3 using a light on a tripod. Threw the applicator and...

    Ding in side of centre console any ideas how to fix?

    That's what I would try. I have a heatgun, I'd heat it and try to stretch it. I would bet that you can order a replacement part from tesla service.

    Need advice how to fix this paint scratch/ding

    You could call a mobile dent repair company. I don't know whether that little crease can be pulled out or whether it needs to be filled and painted. I'm also not sure whether the scraped areas can be compounded and polished or whether they would need to be painted and then clear coated. Talk...

    Which is better 80%-25% or 90% to 35% or something else for daily commute

    Look for elon's twitter message, 80 - 30%. "Resetting" the range by driving over 90 and below 10% is interesting.
