Why Tesla Owners in Florida Choose Ceramic Coating for Long-Term Protection

Florida is a hotspot for Teslas—and for good reason, they’re awesome! Gorgeous to look at… Even better to drive... So, naturally, you’re going to want to keep that sleek exterior in the best possible condition.

Tesla paint protection comes in two main forms: paint protection film (PPF) or ceramic coating. Well, you could say three, because the ultimate is to combine the two, and we’ll touch on that in a moment.

For now, we want to focus on ceramic coating, because in the hot, humid, salty Sunshine State environment, it really is the numero uno choice.

Florida Climate Car Care: Why Ceramic Wins Hands Down for Tesla Paint Protection

If we had to sum up the primary reason for treating your Tesla to ceramic coating in Florida in a single word, it would be this: the sun! (OK, that’s two words, but simply writing “sun” looked wrong…).

By far the greatest enemy to those shiny (or matte) good looks are the constant bombardment of UV rays. While you can attempt to keep your ride under wraps for protection, what’s the fun in that? You didn’t shell out all those dollars for the privilege of looking at your wheels in a garage—you want to be out there cruising.

One of the primary benefits of ceramic coating for a Tesla Model Y, model S, X, or 3 is that it provides a robust barrier that prevents those harmful UV rays from degrading the paintwork. With Florida basking in 10-hours+ sunshine per day, unprotected surfaces are under constant attack. Professionally applied ceramic coating is a permanent solution to this, providing years of protection to ensure that the color remains vibrant and unchanged. Yes, yes, it’s not a forever product—you will have to get it renewed after a few years. But the key to longevity is the quality of the coating and the expertise in which it’s applied. (Shameless self-promotion there, we admit…).

But paint protection in Florida is more than just about the UV rays. Being blessed with a globally envied ocean location, there’s also the issue of salt. This, in combination with heat and humidity, is another staunch enemy to your Tesla’s jaw-dropping looks. Salt acts as a catalyst, speeding up oxidation (rust) and corrosion. But, in the same way as ceramic coating protects from UV rays, it does the same with salt.

How About Some More Reasons to Install Ceramic Coating on Your Tesla?

There’s a whole bunch of them. But, rather than bore you with more reams of text, we’ll bullet point the highlights. Our expert installers can always chat you through the small stuff if you’d like more info.

• The shine—oh my days, the shine…: Because ceramic coating contains millions of ceramic nanoparticles. (Yes, it does, where did you think it got its name from?) Because ceramic reflects the light, this creates a sheen that simply can’t be mirrored in any other way. If your ride has more of a matte vibe, there are special ceramic coating products that enhance that to-die-for exterior too, adding depth and enhancing the wow-factor that only a Tesla can offer.
• Hydrophobic properties: This means water and moisture run away from the surface. In turn, this makes keeping the vehicle clean soooooo much easier, which equals more time driving and less time washing and polishing.
• Protection from chemical attack: Such as acid rain, bug splats, bird droppings, etc., because they never get the opportunity to be in contact with the paint.
• Increases the value: By protecting the paintwork from chips, scratches, and general degrading, when (if!) the time comes to trade in, the resale value will be higher.

Last up, because we said we’d mention it, you can always consider the option of a combo-installation, which uses both ceramic coating and PPF. This is the ultimate way to protect your Tesla’s paintwork, and we’d be delighted to chat through the reasons why.
