How to Ceramic Coat Your Tesla Model 3

[@kurtpolter]

For someone newer into the detailing myself instead of paying for it, your videos and especially your website of products has been SO helpful! This new series was very well done and I greatly appreciate the detailed step by step!! Thanks!!

[@GarageFanatic]

It’s crazy. Just ordered my model y performance. Every time I get a new car. You have already owed it so I got watch all your videos. Zo6. Raptor. Gt350. Now Tesla. Lol. Keep up the great work . And thank you for what you and your team provided for the obsessed community.

[@KGVirus]

My 992 is coming in march and i'll be coating it my self based on your video. Your videos are theraputic in a way, and i love it.

[@Musashi_XIV]

Glad to see a back to the basics move but with all the new techniques and technology that's changed in the last 2 years ✌

[@rhsab1]

Nice job Matt! Your process is effective and will benefit many people I'm sure.

[@andyrechenberg]

Loving this series. I'll be ordering my Tesla in March/April. Thanks again for all the great videos. Cheers.

[@gahansel]

Appreciate the detailed content. I've been watching you and Pan the Organizer as I prepare to detail and coat my wife's Yukon XL. Big truck that I can't mess up!

[@ccwnyc5671]

Peeps here in VT aren't caring for their Teslas. Weird, because they care for their Sub Zero kitchens and OLED TVs. Follow Matt, and go full-on geek out! 🤓

[@MegaGyalis]

I’m buying al this stuff before my car gets delivered. Doing this as soon as possible!!

[@darrelhager9020]

I’m glad you mentioned not to polish the headlights.

[@woodburn2597]

It's all about what's make you happy.

[@J1Z06]

I had a lot of high spots the last time I coated my vette with csl and exo. I polished them out. There’s a mark on the drivers door. Almost like a smear. It was the worst time I’ve ever had and I’ve coated lots of cars. Lol, figures it happened to my own car. I can’t wait for spring to start washing and keeping the cars nice. White cars are very hard to wipe coating off of. Thanks for this video.

[@heretoannoyu4706]

Just coated a Tesla Model 3 with Ultra serum and Exo today, small world, this popped up on my KZbin

[@emadallie3721]

"whats up tesla nerds" LMFAO

[@thedetaildevil409]

I’m so excited to apply this combo to a new jeep soon

[@jibral1176]

Great job! Love the product!!!

[@MatthewHurtado]

Nice video, I’m telling you man you and Tesla Hawaii & Detailing should be friends your both so cool

[@tonyabdalla]

Matt, have you ever experienced (or heard of) issues with coating over a Tesla's cameras and/or sensors and having them not function properly afterwards? I think I know the answer, but just thought I'd ask in case before I screw something up. Thanks for a great series on the Model 3!

[@ObsessedGarage]

No, shouldn't be an issue.

[@tonyabdalla]

@@ObsessedGarage Thank you!

[@stevevlahos1]

Thanks Matt!

[@donpilger7427]

You mentioned “wiper management” and the impact on windshield coatings. I live in the NW so rain is a regular thing. The wiper auto feature on the Tesla SUCKS so constantly messing with the wiper speeds to better “manage” their performance. Any other coating recommendations for heavy wiper use? Or stick with this product and increase frequency? Really enjoying the videos...thanks!

[@shaynegalvin3437]

Cant wait to start this process on my own car, just waiting for the shitty New England weather to clear up

[@2323Magick]

Thanks Matt.

[@detailedbyjr]

Matt give me a call. I have a great coating for you to try with better slickness and more forgiving. Good for all panels, windshield etc.

[@VinnyVentures]

If you let CSL sit for 24 hrs exo comes off a lot easier opposed to only waiting 4 hours for CSL

[@MrAmonts]

Hey Matt, love the “crazy”! Question I have since I obvious haven’t watched all your videos, yet, why the choice to go with ceramic coat as opposed to earlier colonite wax process? Do you mix it up from car to car? Just curious. Thanks!

[@dancavazos6241]

Hello, I was wondering if you might do a pressure washer review/ or thought on the Active VE52, I’ve never heard a bad review and want the facts. From what I herd they make pressure washers for CAT and are supposed to be decent. Thank you for your time Dan

[@jayzayas3425]

Idk if you’ll get to read this or your assistant will respond for you, hopefully you do but 1 I love everything on your website and its a dream to do what you do but what I love most is your pressure washing setup but my 1 pet peeve is that everything is so prefect which is great but what I love most is the pressure washer gun its perfect and I recently bought the MTM SGS-28 Swiveling High Pressure Sprayer and I love it but do you think it would be a good idea to sell the casing just by itself, without the parts to keep the gun looking sexy and perfect I mean don’t judge me and don’t call me broke 😂 but i think you would make a killing off selling the casing by itself because the plastic covering gets banged up overtime and you always talk about the parts are meant to be switched out so then why not sell the casing to by itself for 20$ idk name ur price and shit i would bye 5 of them cause i want to keep it perfect forever. I really think you’ll make a killing from it or just don’t pay attention to what i said but maybe you can ask in one of your videos to your subscribers and if you get a bunch of yeses then idk maybe you’ll add to your income 🤷🏾‍♂️ you already know ill buy a shit ton of them

[@tn_]

Matt, Just watched one of your old videos with RUPES on the pros and cons of ceramic coating. It sounds like keeping the paint in perfect condition can be more difficult in the long run. I'm interested to learn why you decided to coat the Tesla and GT4 if that was the case. Especially the GT4 since you're planning to keep it long term. Wouldn't a sealant be just as effective since you're washing and maintaining the paint as often as you are? Thanks for all of the great videos, will be ordering some gear from your site soon.

[@lee19702]

After polish do you find that panel wipe and microfiber removes all leftover polish residue? Asking because I assumed washing after polish to have a clean surface for the coating to bond to was a good idea

[@henrycollins2478]

Panel wipe will remove all polish residue and oils, washing would increase the odds of scratching and marring.

[@ccwnyc5671]

If you have polish residue, you may not be changing towels and buffing enough. Buff to exhaustion -> cold beer

[@henrycollins2478]

But Matt, is it filtered?

[@Anthonyvelez13]

Have you tried the koch chemie detail spray yet???

[@simplecardetailing6238]

Can I apply CSL outside , or it must be indoor coating, thanks so much

[@ObsessedGarage]

You can do it anywhere. Outside is fine.

[@harley1793]

Hello, thank you for the video, what is the time frame between coats of csl to exo, and also the two coats of exo, thank you!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I let it sit overnight. EXO I put one on right after the other.

Definitely Gtechniq.

[@wd8005]

@@ObsessedGarage Do you prefer the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light over the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra?

[@barrybij8079]

Matt, you mentioned at the 18-minute mark something that I have long suspected as true...These coating companies selling 5 - 9 year coatings are full of crap.. A ceramic coated car will still get marked up if it is driven. Good wash practices will help of course but buying a coating and forgetting about it for six years is stupid. Anybody that wants their cars to look nice will polish the car and re-apply their coating of choice...These companies selling misconceptions to the dumb public. What's worse is a professional detailer selling that to a client.

[@christopherhawkins5456]

Is there a reason why you dont use kamikaze products anymore matt? They look and seem the real deal...

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are good. Esoteric is the exclusive for them. They have a hard time supplying just one distributor. I also like the slickness of CSL/EXO more.

[@christopherhawkins5456]

@@ObsessedGarage ahh fair enough... Im from the uk and had the zipang miyabi sandwich and im really imoressed with it.... And i use overcoat 3.0 as a topper... How do you know when your coating is toast? And needs re-appling?

Love your channel - How would you wash your car (other than hand-wash, carwash ) as I live in the Northeast area. I have a white Toyota and looking to go to a Tesla for our next daily driver. Thanks for your great tips !

[@lilman1234able]

Any other way other than hand washing will result in some type of swirling/scratches. Go look at his wash and talk videos then you'll see that he never uses a drive through car wash.

[@matthewsmith5394]

Handwash is the best. But if you can find a truly touchless automated wash that'll work as well. But handwash is the best way and that's the most affect way

[@ccwnyc5671]

Ira, my winter in VT: I use a good DYI car wash. Never touch their foam brush, ever. 2 min with pressure wash on Soap, get your grit off. 2 min with seperate soap gun, foam the car. Bring your own shaggy mitt, and gently move around foam. Then pressure rinse and dry. Last step, buy the Bead Maker. Go over whole car, dry with a clean "drying agent" towel.

[@iraAlbucher]

@@ccwnyc5671 Thanks for the great advice!

[@Elniniss]

What do you think about adams “7 year” graphene coating?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... All coating longevity claims are nonsense.

[@kimnewling5728]

Did the coating make the white paint "pop"?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not really. Most of the gloss comes from polishing.

[@thedetaildevil409]

Do I have to wait after applying csl to apply exo

[@StephenBrewer89]

3-6 hours

[@cbeserra]

It is difficult to believe 20ml of anything is going to provide any protection, especially when most of it evaporates or is wiped off

[@jeffc6832]

The solvent portion evaporates (as it is designed to do), but nothing is wiped off. It gets leveled. Paint is very porous and jagged on a microscopic level. Coatings fill it in and smooths everything out. It is the best paint protection you can buy, but it isn't bulletproof.

[@bobrewer202]

Show the high spots instead of talking about them. And this is not a hair salon where it’s chic to say “Product”. It’s a coating and/or a sealant, call it as such and not “Product”. If it was paint, you’d call it paint. I think you got paid for saying product. How about brands you’d recommend or not. Pricing? Basically spent 40 + minutes watching you wipe down a car and talk about “Product”.
