Why Basic Paint Protection Isn’t Enough for Teslas
Tesla’s minimalist design and soft clear coat make it beautiful—but fragile.
Here’s why basic waxes and coatings fall short in Encino:
- Frequent sun exposure causes paint oxidation
- Bird droppings and tree sap etch into unprotected clear coat
- Rock chips from freeway driving quickly accumulate
- Automated car washes can cause swirl marks and micro-scratches
If you drive regularly or care about resale value, you need professional-grade protection—not just a showroom shine.
What Sets 3M & STEK PPF Apart
At Merit Tint, we offer only the most trusted names in the industry: 3M Scotchgard Pro Series and STEK DYNOshield.
These films go beyond basic protection:
✅ 3M Scotchgard Pro Series
- Glossy, transparent finish
- Exceptional durability and stain resistance
- 10-year warranty
- Widely respected in the Tesla and luxury vehicle community
✅ STEK DYNOshield
- Premium hydrophobic surface
- Fast self-healing in sunlight
- Matte and gloss finish options
- Deep gloss and visual enhancement
Both options offer Tesla-specific performance, with stealth and glossy options that enhance—not hide—your paint.
Tesla-Specific Risks in Encino
Encino drivers face a unique mix of challenges:
- Debris from the 101 and 405 freeways
- Bird droppings in tree-lined neighborhoods
- Harsh UV rays during hot valley summers
- Tight parking spots on Ventura Blvd risking door dings and scratches
PPF helps maintain your Tesla’s factory finish by absorbing and deflecting damage before it ever reaches your paint.
