After owning my Model 3 Performance for a week I took it to get washed and waxed by a place I used to take my previous car. Upon picking it up I noticed all sorts of swirls and micro scratches. I couldn't handle this amazing new car having these imperfections so I started looking into paint protection options along with installers. I ended up taking it to Chicago Auto Pros who first performed a two step paint correction, then put on a full XPEL Ultimate wrap, and lastly applied a Gtechniq HALO coating on top of the ppf.

Knowing I was spending $8,400.00 to have all of this done I was a bit anxious to say the least... until I saw the final result. When I arrived to pick up my car I was seriously blown away by how good it looked. It was noticeably better than when I took delivery. The peace of mind I have now knowing the paint is protected from small rocks and bugs and that I can wash it without worrying about scratches and swirls is very pleasing. I can't recommend Chicago Auto Pros enough. These guys are true professionals.

The other good news is, even if you don't wash it very often, it'll still look really shiny and clean, which is AMAZING considering it's black (I have a Black S that's got the PPF as well). Anyone who has or have had a Black car will know what I'm talking about...

@elvar Love the car - I have the exact same setup! I'm scheduled to add Xpel to my car and tints in the next few weeks. What % tint did you use for the front and back?

I'm planning on doing Spectra Photosync but iffy on the darkness. You did a great job, most tinting jobs look way too dark for me!!
