Here’s what matters: the right sequence and careful technique make the coating perform better and last longer.
What Ceramic Pro does for daily Chicago driving
Let’s connect the dots between features and daily life. A premier Tesla Ceramic Pro installer in the Chicago area should give you benefits you feel every week.
Hydrophobic slickness
Coated panels shed water and grime quickly. Winter brine lifts with a light rinse during warm spells, and drying takes fewer towels.
Easier washing
Foam, gentle contact, and a final rinse are enough to remove most road film. Less scrubbing means fewer new micro marks.
Rich color and clarity
Correction first, then coating, preserves gloss and sharp reflections. Dark blues, reds, and blacks look deep under streetlights and in afternoon sun.
Unified behavior on mixed surfaces
We coat paint and 3M PPF together so the whole car feels the same under your wash mitt. That consistency speeds up maintenance.
Let’s break it down: less sticking means less touching, which means fewer swirls and a cleaner look year round.
Our Ceramic Pro process for Teslas
A repeatable method is the backbone of a premier Tesla Ceramic Pro installer in the Chicago area. Here’s how we work on Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck.
1) Consultation and inspection
We review routes, parking, color, and goals. We note any prior work, existing film, or delivery marks and agree on a plan that fits your timeline.
2) Decontamination wash
- Foam pre soak and two-bucket hand wash
- Iron remover to dissolve embedded particles
- Gentle clay where safe to lift bonded grit
- Panel-by-panel inspection before moving on
3) Test spot and correction plan
We pick the least-aggressive polishing combo that achieves visible improvement, then build the plan around that result.
4) Machine correction
- Single-stage enhancement for low-mileage cars with light haze
- Two-stage correction for moderate swirls or water spotting
- Targeted spot work at handles, pillars, trunk ledge, and bumper corners
5) Final panel wipe
Oils are removed for a surgically clean surface so Ceramic Pro can bond evenly.
6) Coating application and leveling
We apply Ceramic Pro on paint and any 3M PPF you choose, then level for a uniform look. Multiple light checks confirm even, streak-free results.
7) Handoff and aftercare
We review a simple care sheet, answer questions, and can schedule an optional post-cure check if you want that extra peace of mind.
Plan your visit:
What this means: careful prep and even application are what keep your car easy to wash for years.
Paint correction first: start with a flawless base
Coating preserves what is underneath. A premier Tesla Ceramic Pro installer in the Chicago area will always recommend correction before coating.
- Delivery wash haze is common on new Teslas and shows under garage lighting
- Light swirls and water spots flatten reflections on hoods and trunks
- Spot correction at high-touch areas prevents locking in scuffs
See how we prep paint:
The real question is whether you want those marks sealed in. Correct first, then protect.

Glass, wheels, and trim: complete Tesla coating packages
A premier Tesla Ceramic Pro installer in the Chicago area goes beyond paint.
- Glass coating on the windshield and front glass improves wet weather visibility and makes bug cleanup easier in summer
- Wheel coating helps brake dust release faster so wash time drops
- Trim and piano black pillars benefit from a slick, fingerprint-resistant layer
- Coating over 3M PPF keeps water behavior consistent so drying is quick and uniform
Build the package that fits your driving:
Here’s what matters: treat the surfaces you touch and scrub most for the biggest day-to-day payoff.
Care and maintenance for all four seasons
We give you a simple plan at pickup. Follow these basics to keep your Ceramic Pro finish at its best.
Weekly quick routine
- Rinse first to flush grit from lower doors and rockers
- Foam soak, then gentle straight-line passes with a plush mitt and pH balanced soap
- Final rinse, then blot dry with soft towels or a small blower
- Optional topper mist during drying for extra slickness
Seasonal playbook
Winter
Rinse during warm spells to purge brine. Touchless is acceptable in a pinch, then hand wash when temperatures allow.
Spring
Schedule a decon wash to remove fallout and check PPF edges. Top with a coating safe detail spray.
Summer
Pre soak bug splatter on the front clip. Park in shade when possible to limit water spotting.
Fall
Soak and lift leaf residue and sap gently. Refresh glass treatment for rainy commutes.
Maintenance help is easy to book:
Now here is the thing: frequent, gentle care beats occasional heavy scrubbing every time.

FAQs
1) Does Ceramic Pro stop rock chips
No. Coatings control stickiness and gloss. For chips and rash, add 3M PPF on high strike zones. See Paint Protection Film.
2) Can you coat over 3M PPF
Yes. We apply Ceramic Pro on paint and film so water behavior and gloss feel uniform across the car.
3) Do new Teslas need correction before coating
Often yes. Delivery haze and light swirls benefit from a single-stage enhancement so you do not lock in flaws.
4) How long before I can wash the car
We provide a simple aftercare window at delivery. Light rinses are fine after the initial period, then resume gentle hand washing.
5) What about matte or satin finishes
We use matte-safe techniques and products. Coating helps reduce rub marks and keeps low-gloss films easy to clean.
6) Which panels should get PPF first
Start with the full front, then add rocker panels and lower doors. Add door edges, handle cups, and trunk ledge for daily convenience.
7) Can you bundle tint or accessories at the same time
Absolutely. Many owners add 3M Ceramic IR or 3M Crystalline tint and WeatherTech liners during the same visit. See Tesla Window Tint and Car & Truck Accessories.
