Just got a reply from the body shop so we shall see how it looks. So 100% certain the smudges will come out? I think so, again, I’m just baffled at this quality of work and why he would tell me they don’t come out. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks to everyone for all the experience and input. “I’ll work with...

I managed to get an earlier appointment on surprise May 19th but at a service Center 3 hours away. Agreed it can’t be soon enough. Funny, update 2.9.10 started downloading again yesterday. Of course it is still at 50%.

I know. I’m pretty shocked at this result. As I mentioned I have used them for all my cars for quite some time. I sent an email yesterday and they haven’t even replied. I’ll just head down there tomorrow and see what they are going to do. I hope he doesn’t try to tell me again that it won’t come...

Well said! 😂

Here is the scratch they polished out previously. They did a perfect job and I thought they knew what they were doing. I don’t know if they decided to give the job to a new kid or something but someone different did it who didn’t know what they were doing.

They got the frunk back looking good but for whatever reason really lost their brain doing the tailgate. It’s the only section that needs to be fixed which is good. Easy to take off the PPF, yell at them and tell them to sand it right based on all the suggestions here and put the PPF back on...

They talked me into it. Honestly I didn’t want to do it since I like the raw stainless. But I didn’t want to protect against scratches since I didn’t want to get them polishing out scratches all the time or having to do an Iron-X treatment every three months. They suggested colored PPF but I...

what are the Tesla specified blendex pads? I read the PDF for the refinishing process but it was awhile ago.

Okay, So how should I go about fixing this? For sure I have to remove the PPF. 1) Wait for some Cyberbrite to arrive and follow the instructions to remove micro contaminants. Would make for a nice review 😃 2) Apply Citrisurf 77? Would that work? 3) Repolish as per Tesla’s method. I can yell...

Ruined is probably not the right word. I’ve been doing too many stop the scroll Instagram posts 😂

Well that’s the weird part. These marks weren’t there when they sanded the. They appeared after they sanded so…

Lessons learned. Usually the hard way. 😃

I agree. That is why I don’t understand when he says the mark would t come out. If you keep sanding wouldn’t you get a clean surface???

Many thanks! Totally makes sense. I was really hesitant to do any film but I didnt want to keep sanding out scratches. Lesson learned. I should have just got them to iron -x it and be done with it.

I’m lazy and I trusted them. I asked them, you sure you know what you are doing? 😂 Also the Autobody shop polished out a scratch perfectly so I thought we were good. This is some sort of weird thing. As you can see the marks were completely different, then they tried to polish it out and then...

Thank you! Sometimes I need some validation that I’m not being too nit picky. it’s pretty upsetting as before it wasn’t that bad! So I feel like by being picky I made it worse. Hopefully I can get it fixed if we can figure out what it is!

It might be why they always push 3M stealth wrap as it would hide these marks. Most people probably go with a colored PPF film so they don’t see these contamination marks or smudges as they look like. I of course went for clear as I wanted to keep the stainless steel look but make it easier to...

Whoa. 😳

I can for sure try it. He said that under light you can’t see the contamination but couldn’t get the marks out. So it is possible they were not cleaning it properly as you said. I’m sure they sanded uniformly, they are very good. They did the best they could then sent it back over to the...

Not sure if sanding will correct it. It looks tarnished. I sent him an email asking how can we fix it even though he told me they can’t get it out.
