Why Teslas Benefit From Ceramic Coatings

We’ve had the pleasure of ceramic coating many Teslas over the years and have noticed a marked improvement in the paintwork quality in recent models. Both brand new and used Teslas can benefit from ceramic coatings, read on to find out why.


What Is A Ceramic Coating?

Let’s start with the basics first. A ceramic coating is a protective coating that chemically bonds to a vehicle’s paintwork. It is optically clear & due to its chemical composition can provide a shine and brightness that uncoated paintwork cannot match.

Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent, and are available in different durability ratings, typically stated in years.

Irrespective of durability rating, all our ceramic coating packages provide the following benefits:

  • Greater resistance to chemical etching from bird droppings & acid rain

  • UV Resistance & Protection from paint oxidation

  • ‘Self-cleaning’ from the ultra-hydrophobic properties, keeping the coated vehicle cleaner for longer between washes and much easier to maintain

  • Attractive water behaviour - beading & sheeting of water (especially useful on windscreens!)

  • Water conservation - some owners have reported not having to clean their vehicle as often, reducing water usage and helping the environment


How Do Teslas Benefit From This?

In addition to the bullet points above, there are specific reasons why Teslas benefit from ceramic coatings.

  • Effortless Cleaning - The ceramic coating we apply provides a very slick surface that is a pleasure to clean. Dirt will slide off in ways you didn’t know were possible!

  • Exterior Plastics - Most Teslas have some form of exterior plastic trim that can suffer from accelerated ageing compared to paintwork. We can ceramic coat these plastics to reduce the impact of environmental factors, so they stay looking fantastic for longer.

  • Glass - Compared to other brands, Teslas have a large amount of glass. This glass can be ceramic coated too, so you can enjoy the benefits of self-cleaning all over.

  • Paintwork durability - Despite the paint quality massively improving over the past three years, it is still worthwhile protecting it. Reducing the risk of bird etching, swirl marks, and hard water spots are just a few of the ways in which you and your paintwork will benefit.

  • Resale Value - Protecting your investment with a ceramic coating can pay off in the long run. A well-maintained Tesla with a flawless finish can fetch a higher resale value when the time comes to move on.


Conclusion

To conclude, ceramic coating provides unbeatable protection, simplifies maintenance, enhances resale value, boosts your vehicle’s appearance, and aligns with your environmental values. Elevate your Tesla ownership experience by treating it to a ceramic coating—it's a decision you won't regret!
