Three ways to protect it.

Film, gloss, and tint. Most Tesla owners end up combining all three. Here's exactly what each one does and what's included.

Made for Soft Paint

Paint Protection Film

Tesla paint is thinner and softer than most cars on the road, so a single rock chip on the highway can turn into a costly repair. That's why protecting it up front beats fixing it later. At Detail Tech, our Legend PPF certified installers wrap your Tesla in a clear, self-healing layer that absorbs the impact from chips, sand, and salt before any of it reaches your paint. Start with partial front coverage on the bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors, the areas that take the most hits, or go full-body to protect every panel. Available in gloss or stealth matte.

  • Blocks rock chips, scratches, and road debris
  • Shields against UV, salt, and everyday wear
  • Self-healing top layer that erases light scratches
  • Partial front to full-body coverage, gloss or matte
  • Backed by a 12-year warranty

Ceramic Coating

A Tesla's paint needs help staying clean, not just staying safe. At Detail Tech, our System X certified installers apply a ceramic coating that bonds to the paint and locks in a deep, glossy finish that beads water, sheds dirt, and resists swirls and water spots. Your Tesla stays cleaner between washes and keeps that just-detailed look for years. Every coating starts with paint prep, and with correction on higher tiers, so we seal in a flawless finish instead of the imperfections it came with. It also goes right over PPF for the best of both.

  • System X certified ceramic protection
  • Hydrophobic finish that beads water and sheds dirt
  • Resists swirls, water spots, and UV fade
  • Years of gloss, up to a lifetime warranty on Max G+
  • Layers over PPF for complete protection

Keep Your Tesla Cool

Window Tint

A Tesla is mostly glass, which means it heats up fast in the sun. At Detail Tech, our SunTek authorized installers apply ceramic tint that does far more than darken the windows. It rejects a big share of the sun's heat so your cabin stays cooler and the battery works less to keep up, blocks over 99% of the UV that fades and cracks your interior, and cuts glare on long drives. We tint every window, and the glass roof too, with shades matched to your Tesla and backed by a lifetime warranty.

  • SunTek ceramic film, up to 94% infrared heat rejection
  • Blocks over 99% of UV rays
  • Cooler cabin, less strain on the battery
  • Full coverage, glass roof included
  • Backed by a lifetime warranty

Amazing work by these fellas. I had them do my car first. They did such a good job, I sent them over my wife's car too. We trusted them with both our brand new EVs (2026 Tesla Model Y and 2025 Chevy Blazer EV). They installed front PPF, applied ceramic, and tinted our windows. We called around other places nearby including some really big names but after speaking with Kevin and Dan, these fellas know what they're doing. I'd definitely recommend this place and will take my cars here again.

I brought in my 2026 Tesla Model Y for full front end, all 4 doors and windshield with PPF and ceramic coating. My wife and I are very pleased with the results. Our vehicle looks amazing!! We are very convinced on how truly genuine and honest people can be. We never felt any pressure on choosing any of the services you offer. We will definitely be back for more business to take care of my fleet of vehicles. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS for all of vehicle detailing needs!!! Kevin, Dan and the entire Detail Tech Team thank you for a job well done!

They benefit a lot from it. Tesla paint is on the softer side and chips easily, and the front end is exposed, so film makes a real difference in keeping it looking new.

They do different jobs. PPF is a physical shield against chips and scratches. Ceramic is a chemical layer for gloss and easy cleaning. A lot of owners do both, PPF up front and ceramic over the top.

All of them. Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck.

Yes, we tint Teslas, and we'll walk you through options for the windows and the roof to cut heat and glare.

It depends on the service and coverage. Tell us your Tesla and what you want, and we'll give you a real timeline with your quote.

Kevin patiently, thoroughly, and clearly reviewed the protection options for our new vehicle in a no pressure manner. We opted for full vehicle application of PPF followed by ceramic coating and an interior protection application. Our specific requests, including a delayed pick up, were accommodated. When we picked up the vehicle yesterday, it looked amazing! We are extremely happy with our decision and definitely feel it was money well spent. Additionally, it was nice to deal with a business that kept us updated, followed through on everything they said, and we didn't need to have anything redone.
