Case Study: 2016 Tesla Model S

Case Study: 2016 Tesla Model S

Today’s case study is a 2016 Tesla Model S, in Solid Black.

This car belongs to a new client of mine, whom has found us via a Google search. This client lives in a high-rise in downtown Vancouver, works from home, and was looking for a convenient car cleaning service to take care of his beloved Tesla.

His Tesla Model S had not been cleaned in years — according to his own confession — mostly because lack of time (my client is a very successful and busy consultant), and it was in desperate need of a thorough clean.

Clean My Car to the rescue…

I picked up the car from my client’s place, and brought it over to my shop, just minutes away.

The exterior looked in pretty bad shape — you couldn’t even tell the actual colour because of how dirty it was. The car looked more Grey than Black at this point.

The interior looked as expected (after years of not being cleaned), with quite a bit of dirt on all surfaces, and lots of dirt and debris.

Seats were in good shape, with just surface dirt, which came out without posing much resistance.

Quick side note: Many car owners expect an interior in such condition to come out clean with “just a quick vacuum”. This is never the case. Aside from a thorough and extensive vacuuming, the carpets need to be shampooed, otherwise the improvement is minimal at best.

In this particular case, the client followed my advice, and chose the appropriate cleaning package.

A few hours of solid and meticulous cleaning, and my client’s Tesla Model S is completely transformed…

The interior is now spotless — dirt and debris gone. It also smells fresh.

The exterior has regained its true colour, and it looks (almost) like a brand new car.

My client was super happy with the results. This is what he had to say about it, on Google reviews:

“Very friendly and professional, and car was thoroughly cleaned. Nice that they came to pick up the car and brought it back to me as well. They were also very appreciative of the business and gave nice personal touches.”

This time, a miracle was possible. Years without cleaning have been “magically” erased.

But that is not always the case. A lot of times, a car reaches a “point of no return” when, no matter how intensive, cleaning alone is not sufficient anymore to bring the car back to its former beauty.

Key takeaway: Cleaning your car often saves you a lot of trouble and money.

If you own a Tesla, and would like to get it properly cleaned and detailed, by someone with experience in the peculiarities of the Tesla brand, you’re in the right place.
