Tesla Model 3 heavy tar removal detail
This Tesla Model 3 came in suffering from extremely heavy tar contamination, far beyond the usual levels we see during a standard decontamination process. It appears the vehicle may have been driven through a freshly resurfaced road, leaving thick tar deposits across the bodywork and lower sections of the vehicle.
Starting with a thorough exterior clean to safely remove loose dirt and grime before moving into the decontamination stages.
A good amount of time was spent carefully breaking down and removing the heavy tar build up from the paintwork and where arches using specialised tar removers and safe removal methods to avoid damaging the paintwork.
While carrying out the chemical decontamination process, a fallout remover was also applied to dissolve embedded iron particles and other contaminants from the paintwork and wheels.
Once fully cleansed and decontaminated, the paintwork was protected with Gtechniq Liquid Crystal, adding gloss, slickness and short term protection while enhancing the overall finish.
A huge transformation on this Model 3, restoring a much cleaner and smoother finish after some extremely stubborn contamination.
