Hey everyone! Today we're featuring this 2025 Tesla Model X in Ultra Red - a true embodiment of modern technology and auto innovation. This Tesla model is one of the most advanced SUVs on the road—blending cutting-edge performance with all-electric configuration. But even the most forward-thinking vehicles need protection from the everyday realities of driving. That’s where Superior Detailer comes in.


Our client wanted more than just a quick clean or cosmetic boost—they wanted to preserve the value, appearance, and integrity of their new Model X for the long haul. As a top-rated PPF installer and trusted expert in auto ceramic coating, we built a complete protection package designed to do just that. Let's get into it!


Here's a concise overview of services we provided for this project:





Prep Makes Perfect — Decontamination Wash & Clay BAR Treatment


Every great result starts with a solid foundation. We began with a comprehensive preparation wash designed specifically for midsize SUVs like the Tesla Model X. This included a double-bucket decontamination hand wash, a clay bar treatment to remove bonded surface contaminants, and even overspray removal—ensuring a squeaky-clean surface before any polishing or film application work.




Precision refinement - LIGHT POLISH & PAINT CORRECTION

Even on a brand-new vehicle, paintwork can still carry subtle imperfections caused by factory handling, storage, and shipping/transport — for example: micro-marring, faint swirls, or uneven gloss. Left untreated, these blemishes become permanently sealed beneath PPF or ceramic coatings.


That’s why we performed a light machine polish, tailored specifically for gently used or freshly delivered paint. We used a dual-action polisher and light cut minor surface scratch removal product designed to remove only the uppermost layer of microscopic defects, leaving the clear coat structure fully intact, while refining its depth and clarity. This step is crucial for producing an even, shiny finish that eliminates light swirl marks, holograms, and other fine distortions that dull the finish or interrupt reflections. Proper polishing also ensures that both PPF and ceramic coatings bond directly to an even, contaminant-free, and properly prepped surface—maximizing their effectiveness and lifespan.


The result? Smoother paint, improved gloss, and razor-sharp reflections—ready for high-end protection. This polishing stage is often skipped or rushed by inexperienced shops, but at Superior Detailer, we know that protection is only as good as the surface it bonds to. That’s why we take the time to get it right.




FULL-BODY PPF INSTALLATION


With the Tesla’s paint properly prepped and polished, we moved on to one of the most important stages: full-body paint protection film. As a trusted PPF installer for luxury and high-performance vehicles, we take this process seriously—because when done correctly, PPF is your vehicle’s first line of defense against the real-world hazards of daily driving. For this Model X, we performed a customized full-body PPF installation, covering every painted exterior surface—including high-impact zones like the front & rear bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and door edges. The film has a high-gloss finish and anti-yellowing properties. It actively resists:


  • Chips from road debris
  • Bug splatter and bird droppings
  • Chemical/water spots
  • Other minor abrasions and swirl marks


By investing in a full-body wrap, this Tesla Model X is now protected from the harsh conditions of Florida roads.





MODESTA BC-08 APPLICATION


To top it off, we sealed the entire vehicle with Modesta BC-08 Neosillica Matrix Coating—a premium-grade auto ceramic coating engineered for daily-driven vehicles like the Tesla Model X. BC-08 is not a basic consumer-grade coating. It’s a professionally installed, single-layer formula that combines neo-sillica technology with zirconium, creating a thick, highly durable barrier across the surface of the vehicle.


Once cured, it delivers:


1).  Hydrophobic self-cleaning, which allows dirt, grime, and water to bead up and roll off effortlessly.

2). Chemical resistance, which protects against acidic contaminants, bug splatter, salt, etc.

3). Scratch resistance, adding a protective layer to guard against wash-induced micro-marring.

4). Optical clarity, which boosts color depth and visual sharpness without altering the texture—keeping the exterior smooth and glassy.


Because of its chemical bonding properties, BC-08 enhances the underlying PPF’s resilience while maintaining its flexibility, making it ideal for cars with complex or oddly-shaped body designs like the Model X.


The result is a Tesla that not only looks phenomenal—it stays cleaner longer, is easier to wash, and is better protected from the elements for years to come while also looking super sleek.

With the paint enhanced and its entire surface armored in premium self-healing film and sealed with one of the best ceramic coatings available on the market, this 2025 Tesla Model X is now ready for anything the road can throw at it. Every detail—from the prep wash to the final Modesta layer—was considered with long-term protection and performance in mind.

Because when it comes to protecting your investment, nothing less than exceptional will do.
