What You Get

Soft Paint Protection

Tesla's Model 3 paint is well-known for being soft and easily marked. Ceramic coating adds a hard, sacrificial layer that resists swirling and light scratches from everyday contact.

Hydrophobic Surface

Water, road film, and contaminants bead and sheet off a coated Model 3. Washing takes less time and the car stays cleaner between washes.

Chemical Resistance

Bug acids, bird droppings, tree sap, and road salt can etch unprotected Tesla paint quickly. Ceramic coating provides a barrier against these contaminants.

UV Defense

Model 3s parked outdoors face constant UV exposure. Ceramic coating helps prevent the fading and oxidation that degrade paint color over time.

Enhanced Gloss Depth

Ceramic coating amplifies the Model 3's paint depth and clarity — especially noticeable on dark colors like Midnight Silver, Black, and MSM.

EV-Friendly Process

Our process is designed for electric vehicles. No exhaust, no fuel handling — just clean, careful work in a controlled environment.

Service Options

Single-Layer Coating

One layer of professional ceramic coating for daily-driver protection, enhanced gloss, and easier maintenance.

Multi-Layer Coating

Multiple layers for maximum gloss, extended durability, and a thicker protective barrier. Ideal for owners who want the best finish.

Coating + PPF Combo

Ceramic coating applied over Onyxhield PPF on high-impact areas for impact protection and hydrophobic performance combined.

Our Process

Model 3 Paint Evaluation

We inspect the paint under controlled lighting. Model 3 paint often arrives with factory swirls that need correction before coating.

Decontamination & Correction

Chemical and mechanical decontamination followed by machine polishing to remove swirls, scratches, and water spots from the soft paint.

Coating Application

Ceramic coating applied panel by panel in our climate-controlled shop. Each section is leveled and allowed to flash before proceeding.

Curing & Care Instructions

The coating cures in our controlled environment. You receive wash and care instructions for maintaining the coating long-term.

Protecting Your Model 3 in Ohio

Ohio road salt, highway debris, and seasonal contamination are especially damaging to the Model 3's soft paint. Ceramic coating creates a barrier against salt etching, chemical staining, and UV fading — keeping your Model 3 protected through every season. Applied at our Sylvania shop serving the Toledo metro and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tesla Model 3 paint really that soft?

Yes. Tesla's factory paint is widely known for being softer than most manufacturers. It picks up swirl marks, water spots, and scratches more easily — making ceramic coating especially valuable.

Do you correct the paint before coating?

Yes. Every Model 3 coating includes paint correction. The coating locks in whatever is on the surface, so we remove defects first for the best result.

How long does ceramic coating last on a Model 3?

Longevity depends on maintenance and exposure. Proper wash methods and care extend the coating's effective life significantly.

Can I ceramic coat a new Model 3?

Yes — and it's ideal. New Model 3s often arrive with factory swirls. We correct these and apply coating before the paint accumulates additional damage.

Should I get PPF and ceramic coating?

If you want the most comprehensive protection, PPF on high-impact areas plus ceramic coating on the full car provides both physical and chemical protection.

How do I wash a ceramic-coated Model 3?

Hand wash with pH-neutral soap, avoid automated brushed car washes, and dry with a clean microfiber towel. The hydrophobic surface makes washing faster and easier.

Can you coat my Model 3's wheels too?

Yes. Ceramic coating on wheels resists brake dust and road grime, making wheel cleaning significantly easier.
