At ALSET Custom, we just had the pleasure of transforming a stunning new Tesla Model 3 for one of our valued customers. She invested $7,000 in top-tier XPEL protection to keep her ride looking flawless: ULTIMATE PLUS Paint Protection Film (PPF), FUSION PLUS V2 Ceramic Coating, and PRIME Window Tint. The result? Her Model 3 isn’t just protected—it’s got a showroom shine that turns heads everywhere. Here’s a look at why she chose these upgrades and the simple steps to keep them looking pristine for years.

As a premier XPEL installer, we recommended this suite of products to shield her Tesla from everyday wear like road debris, UV rays, and parking lot scratches. Tesla’s paint can be prone to chips, and our sunny Sarasota weather doesn’t do it any favors. XPEL’s industry-leading quality and warranties made it the perfect fit:

• XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS PPF: Applied to the full front end, hood, fenders, and mirrors, this self-healing film protects against rock chips and scratches with a 10-year warranty.
• XPEL FUSION PLUS V2 Ceramic Coating: Layered over the PPF and paint, this advanced coating adds incredible gloss, repels water and dirt, and comes with an impressive 8-year warranty.
• XPEL PRIME Window Tint: Ceramic-based tint on all windows blocks UV rays, reduces heat, and ensures privacy without interfering with Tesla’s tech, backed by a lifetime warranty against fading or bubbling.

The $7,000 investment has her Model 3 looking better than new—sleek, glossy, and ready for the road. Best of all, maintaining these upgrades is straightforward and hassle-free.

We want your XPEL-protected vehicle to stay stunning with minimal effort. Here are our top tips to keep your PPF, V2 Ceramic Coating, and tint in top shape, based on XPEL’s guidelines and our expertise. Don’t worry—it’s easier than you think!

Let the products settle for the best results:

•  PPF and V2 Ceramic Coating: Wait 48 hours before washing to let the adhesives and coating bond fully. Park in a garage or shade if possible to help curing.
•  Window Tint: Avoid rolling down windows or cleaning them for 2-5 days, depending on weather. Any initial haziness or tiny bubbles should clear up naturally as the tint dries.

Regular cleaning keeps your Tesla sparkling without much fuss:

•  For PPF and Ceramic: Wash every 1-2 weeks with a pH-neutral car shampoo (like XPEL Rinse Free Car Wash) and a soft microfiber mitt. Rinse well and dry with a microfiber towel or blower to avoid water spots. Skip brush-style car washes to protect the film.
•  For Tint: Use a mild soap-water mix or XPEL Glass Cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth for interior and exterior glass. A squeegee works great for exteriors.
•  Pro Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or acidic cleaners, as they can harm the coatings or tint.

The V2 Ceramic Coating makes dirt slide right off, so washing feels like less of a chore!

Minor issues? No problem:

•  Stains or Bugs: Wipe them off promptly with XPEL Film Cleaner or a dab of 99% isopropyl alcohol for PPF. For ceramic, XPEL Detail Spray works wonders.
•  Light Scratches on PPF: The self-healing film often fixes itself in warm conditions. A splash of warm water (around 48°C) can speed it up.
•  Need Help?: Pop by our shop for professional touch-ups or advice if you spot anything stubborn.

A little extra care goes a long way:

•  PPF Sealant: Apply XPEL Flawless Finish Sealant every 3-4 months for added shine and protection. We can do this for you during a quick visit.
•  Ceramic Refresh: Use XPEL Ceramic Boost spray every few months to keep that glossy, water-repelling magic alive.
•  General Care: Park in the shade when you can to minimize UV exposure, and rinse off water spots or bird droppings quickly.

With these simple steps, your PPF can last over a decade, the V2 Ceramic Coating up to 8 years, and the tint for life.

This customer’s Model 3 is now a showstopper, protected from Sarasota’s tough conditions—think road debris from construction or UV rays from our sunny days. At Alset Custom, we’re thrilled to see her car shining brighter than ever, and we’re here to make upkeep a breeze. Ready to give your vehicle the same VIP treatment?
