The new post requesting the best method to protect the Model S got me thinking to update the TMC crew on the stuff we did to our Model S AFTER our weekend pickup from the Fremont Factory.
Here are pictures of my Model S that MoeMistry completely refreshed and wrapped the entire vehicle using XPEL Ultimate, applied Huper Optik window film to all glass surfaces, and finally applied a nano coating to the glass and paint to further protect everything. We basically drove the car up to Sonoma, then down from the factory and drove straight to Glistening Perfection's studio in Orange County.
So the first few pictures are the condition that we brought the car to the guys at Glistening Perfection. And since Moe's advice was to provide it to him as dirty as possible, we and drove it straight to his studio without anyone else having washed or detailed our Model S. He did a good job making it look better than new
Here they are preparing for clear bra installation
They repair all rock chips prior to clear bra installation
Once entire car is polished and clearcoat is in perfect condition, they then begin the dis-assembly. This is where it gets to be nervous time for me when I hear that he is doing this to get the best wrap possible. (It's to protect me from myself. As I've told a few of the folks during OC Tesla owners meetups, I find myself to be a shopping cart magnet).
Here it is with the installation complete
One of the things that attracted us to Moe and his group is that he is quite detail oriented. Such things as proper cataloging of what's removed assures him that he doesn't have spare parts when complete. He has become very well experienced in performing this level of work on Teslas and it's procedures like this that sets his expert shop apart from others. We appreciated their work so much, that we had the same thing (whole car wrapped) done to my wife's Signature Roadster (and that included taking out the factory protection... It's ok, it's five years old for that.)
Here he is making sure that the car stays cool in Southern California summers. The windows are getting tinted and nano coating applied to exterior glass surfaces. Including a near clear tint to the windshield AND because I'm kinda redundant to the Pano Roof as well.
He had new badges installed as he never re-uses the old ones. Besides, the old badges make for great conversation pieces on my office desk. Beside the chopped off Tesla Model S charging port that I got from TonyWilliams for the J1772 connector we use for either the Roadster or Active E.
Complete
Like I've said before... We liked them so much, we had them do my wife's Roadster too... Perhaps I'll update with that one later... Or maybe a blog post. Either way. Thumbs Up!
