Day one of ownership. No glory shots yet. Just 6+ hours in the garage getting clay’ed, polished, ceramic‘ed (terrible paint, Tesla). And then tucked in for the night with the Telluride.

Out for the first run of errands. So far have installed black badges, mud flaps, and did a full paint correction/ceramic. Goes in for tint tomorrow morning…still trying to decide if I want to risk 15% or stick with 30% on the fronts.

I have same colors, but went with 20% on front sides and 50% windshield. With the white interior, it really does make the tint slightly lighter looking. FYI.

Are you concerned of tinting a day after Ceramic? My experience is they spray a lot of water during the tinting and ceramic coatings set better with no water for at least a week.

Tint was 2 days after ceramic (I did the ceramic on Saturday, tint on Monday), and the coating I used (Gyeon Mohs) says to avoid getting wet for 12 hours, preferred 24 hours. I did that. I’ve ceramic coated a lot of cars and I’ve never gone an entire week before they got wet, that’s just not realistic.

You are supposed to avoid washing it with any strong soaps/detergents for 2 weeks.

Beautiful. Definitely good to take a picture after you clean your black car, so you can remember what that looks like 5 minutes later when it’s dirty again 😁
Oh man no kidding. This is my fourth black car and every time I say I’m not going to get black again. Yet here I am. Can’t resist how good they look clean and, if I’m being honest, I actually enjoy the process. 😂

Well you know what they say, once you go black... 🙃

But I know what you mean — I find cleaning the car therapeutic/cathartic. But I'm not enough of a masochist to get a black one. I had one black car 20 years ago, that was enough.

I'm getting tint on 8/17. I think I'm going 20% ceramic all around and 50% ceramic on the front.

I have 70% on my bmw windshield and I wish it was darker. You can't even tell it's tinted.

My MY P is midnight silver metallic/ Gray with black interior
