My '23 Model S Plaid just hit 5K miles. Just got it detailed, and wow! The paint looks deeper and glossier than ever. Plus, the interior feels brand new again. Anyone else think detailing is a game-changer for keeping my Tesla S in top shape?

Just Hit 5K Miles! Detailing Transformed My Model S Plaid

Detailing is definitely a game-changer. As a collaborator at AZ Auto Aesthetics, located on Ray Road in Mesa. It's amazing how a thorough detail can rejuvenate both the exterior and interior of a car. For Tesla owners, using products specifically designed for electric vehicles can provide an added layer of protection, especially with the unique materials used in Teslas.

How DARE you question the validity of BobSmith's claims!

I old school Zaino my car in the spring and fall. Always looks like it was just detailed after a wash.

I was also a Zaino user for my 1996 C4 Corvette. Awesome stuff! However, I tired of the "system" and all the steps. That car is gone now. PPF and ceramic on my 2022 MSLR make keeping the car beautiful a breeze. For our ICE car I'm using P21S. That wax goes on and buffs off so easy.

Honestly I never bothered with the "system" and all the steps. I just use it like a normal sealant with excellent results. I find it to be long lasting and adds a deep shine even with a single coat.
I find my cars look better than 95% of the others out there after a few years, no one time coating is going to do better than a well cared for paint job.
I have considered the PPF route and gone back and forth many times, especially after the chips I got on my M3P along the front end and rockers. A wash, claybar, touch up w/ a toothpick and a little buffing with compound and it looks nearly as good as new.
I can't argue PPF will provide better protection, but I enjoy the process of caring for a vehicle and find it therapeutic.

I did my whole car myself with PPF and ceramic on top of the PPF. Never thought about it before. It was an excuse to buy new tools and learn a new skill set. After two and a half years it still looks great.
DIY PPF on 2022 Blue Model S
Model S is one week old. I've spent the last four months YouTubing PPF. This first post is practice on the front license plate holder which I will not put back on. It's a good test piece for practicing several techniques. There are compound curves in the corners, edges to wrap and circles to cut...

Which specific single Zaino product is the one you use, Z2?
