This thread is going to be exclusively for the Model X. We will be posting every Model X that we do here so you can see our work, so we can explain in detail what we do to each vehicle, and to show what sets us apart from the competition. We are and have been your trusted, professional, paint protection film installers since 2000. We are here to protect your investment!
Paint Protection Film:
The paint protection film is designed to stop rock chips, love bugs, and any road debris from damaging the paint of the vehicle. It is an 8mil polyurethane plastic film that we apply to the front of the vehicle where the vehicle is at the biggest risk of receiving damage or to any part of the car that you would like protection. We carry Xpel, Suntek, and Clearshield Pro film brands.The film is warrantied for at least 5 years not to yellow, fade, fog or crack and we remove and replace the film after 5 years for just the cost of removal. We do this so that the film can be easily removed and stays looking great on your vehicle.
We also wrap all the edges of the film so that there are no seams. This will hide the film and make it invisible. It will also help prevent any edges from lifting down the road.
The paint on Tesla Models is very soft as many of you may know. This means that it can be easily scratched or chipped because the clear coat is not very hard. Applying paint protection film to at least the high impact areas of the vehicle will help protect the paint and stop this from happening. It can be easily removed at 5 years and the paint will still be looking brand new underneath instead of pitted and chipped from rocks.
Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating:
Paint correction is the process of polishing the paint to a level where it removes all the swirls, scratches and imperfections making the paint have a perfect mirror like finish. This is not the same as waxing or polishing that other detailers do. This is a tedious, professional, and very skilled process that takes anywhere from 8 hours to 40+ hours to perform correctly and obtain a perfect finish. Our detailers are experts and among the best in the state at paint correction. Have any doubts? Feel free to stop by and check them out anytime!
Following the paint correction we apply a Ceramic Coating over the paint and clear bra. The ceramic coating is basically like a clear semi-permanent wax that will increase the gloss and shine, make it so that you don’t have to wax or polish your vehicle for up to 7 years, and make washing maintenance extremely easy. It is super hydrophobic so water beads very well and it will not let dirt, bugs, or hard water stick to the vehicles paint. It is all easily washed off. The ceramic coating is almost like adding a hardened clear coat to the vehicle. It can be applied on top of any paint protection film that we install becoming a second layer of protection. Depending on which one you choose, the ceramic coatings are warrantied to last from 2-7 years.
Window Tint:
We also professionally tint windows at our shop. We carry a variety of films from 3M (Including Crystalline), Suntek, and Lumar. If you are looking to block out the heat and keep your car cool 3m Crystalline film is the highest heat blocking film that we carry. It is an IR film and blocks out about 97% of all heat. Our Ceramic films are a great second option blocking out around 56% of the sun’s heat. Our ceramic films come in a variety of shades ranging from 5%-80% light transmission.
We have tinted many Model X vehicles and have more scheduled in the upcoming months. These are not easy vehicles to tint and should not be trusted to any tint company. We can assure you our level of installation quality comes unmatched in Tampa and the surrounding areas.
