In this video, we will be sharing some tips and tricks on how to wash and clean your Tesla Model 3 the RIGHT way! We have a 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ (2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus) but this method can applied to all cars including the Tesla Model Y, Model S and Model X. Teslas have a softer pain coat so this method ensures that you minimize any scratches to the paint. This full in depth washing and cleaning guide is in no way the absolute end all be all solution. This is the car cleaning routine I use that works best for me and keeps my car free of scratches while maintaining a shiny gloss! Feel free to replicate or make changes to what suites you best.

Please note that for best results and to avoid any spotting, it is advisable to wash the car on an overcast day or under the shade if possible as direct sunlight can cause the foam/shampoo to dry faster than usual. Unfortunately, in the video, the weather changed from an overcast forecast to a rather bright sunny day while recording. However, the regular rinsing (as shown in the video) prevented any spotting even when washing under the sun :)
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Two things you left out:
1. Grit guards for the buckets!
2. Drying solution for the final drying process!
Hi Jim, excellent points there, appreciate your input! I’ve personally felt that drying has worked pretty well with just the microfiber towel without the need for any solution but grit guards would certainly be an great add 🙂
@@EVKiwis Do some of your own research. Look up “Pan the organizer” on RUclips.
Anyway, most detailing experts think it’s a must to lubricate your drying!
Take care.
If a grid guard is necessary, you’re doing it wrong.
This was a really helpful video. The guidance was easy to follow, no nonsense and the video length was perfect. I will be replicating this when I get my Model 3 in a couple of weeks!
Thanks for this video, filmed half-way around the world from where I live. Please caution your audience to be careful with a pressure washer by a) using a wide angle 15^ nozzle and b) testing the output pressure at less than 1000 psi/ 68 bar. I'd also be careful and not leave cleaning microfiber on any surface where they might pickup grit.
Hi Steve, thanks so much for your input and you make some excellent points! I’ll highlight your comment so others can see this too. We all live and learn 🙂
Super useful video 👌 The foam gun really does look like fun 😂
Thank you! 😀 Haha yeah I couldn’t get enough of it during the wash 😂
Wow! It’s amazing, it’s like a professional car wash. 👌👌👏🏻👏🏻👍
We all love a shiny Tesla 😍
I wash my tesla the exact same way minus the foam cannon!! Ahh makes me smile knowing i was doing it okay loool
Good review. I have my model 3 blue got last week. Yet to wash. Will try the coming weekend
Thank you! Congrats and welcome to the Tesla family. Give it a go and let me know how it goes 😊
Great video, only question is. How do you wipe the glass underneath the windshield wipers?
Thank you and great question! I usually just the lift up the wipers slightly and use a microfibre cloth with some glass cleaner solution.
Great to the point! Very economical way to do it as well! Great job ! Will take your tips & do my exact same Model 3 the same way buddy ✌️
Thank you so much! Glad it was useful 😊 Feel free to adjust the cleaning routine to what works best for you but I found this to work the best for me
I Love my Tisla
Hey man, seen you around Eden Terrace :) Just ordered our model 3 - thanks for all the content
Hey that’s awesome! Congrats and welcome to the Tesla family. Glad you enjoy the content :)
Loved it! I dig your products and the care you have in your car wash technique! I’d only say, you’re forgetting my favorite part! Black tire foam! Lol
Aw thanks so much! Haha that’s a great point as I love me a shiny tyre too but I sadly ran out of that in my last wash so couldn’t include it in this video. But it’s surely a must have 🙂
What brand?
I suggest folks also looks up other similar videos to see a few things done wrong (not perfect) here such as ... never place what will be touching your car on the floor. Many detail shops have a policy ... whatever hits the floor goes straight to the garbage. Buckets need to use that filter thing to trap dirt on bottom of bucket. Drying bottom of sides where most dirt is and then moving on to the front (the most visible area) is not something I would do, etc. Thanks for the effort though.
So many people snowfoam first without doing the pressure rinse! And so many people also do a contact wash at the snowfoam stage!! I pretty much do exactly as you have done in this video!
Hi Dan, couldn’t agree more! The pre rinse before snow foam is crucial in my opinion. It’s also recommended to use a pH balanced snow shampoo which can be left on the car for longer than a standard car wash shampoo which is essential for a true touchless wash 🙂
@@EVKiwis definitely. I use Wax Planet 8below, not the foamiest of foams but a fantastic cleaner, but not sure how neutral it is. Either way, the car almost looks clean enough even before I've touched it!!!
Note from a detailed: DO NOT leave shampoo sit for longer than 5 Mins on paint. The urgency of rinsing soap off glass not critical as it's a harder surface than your clear coat. always rinse painted areas 1st. And avoid using snowfoam shampoos in direct sunlight
Hi there, appreciate your input and you’ve some great points there! The foaming shampoo used is pH balanced and is meant to be used as a prewash and can be safely left on for 10 to 15 minutes without affecting the coating. The shampoo used for bucket wash part was not left on and was rinsed immediately. I had also already posted a comment explaining why the video unfortunately ended up being in sunlight as sadly the weather quickly changed from what was forecasted.
I wish I could clean my car like this in 8 minutes haha
I wish I could too… oh the magic of editing 😂
foam cannon is the best part! must have!
Couldn't agree more!
Very useful 👌
Glad it was helpful 😀
I was expecting more foam still not bad.
You can absolutely have more foam by increasing the concentration level of the foam shampoo to the water. I used the recommended 1:10 ratio but if you increase this, you will definitely get a lot more foam 🙂
How do you clean the inside of the door frame and trunk those parts are always covered in dirt
I personally just do with a rag and some all-purpose cleaning spray
@EV Kiwis, Hello, would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon pro? Thank you.
Yes we would absolutely love to review it 😊
@@EVKiwis That's good, I will send a DM on Instagram. Thanks.
Nice video! Thats a good process.
I have a M3 RWD on order which hopefully getting early March - can't wait! Curious to know if you guys went for a ceramic coating or clear front wrap, or are not worrying about it? Its certainly not something I have ever done with my cars, and fairly expensive, but I note that quite a few people are doing it.
Thanks Jonathan and that’s super exciting. Congrats and welcome to the Tesla family! 🙂 We have neither ceramic coating or PPF on the car at this stage. I personally chose not to get PPF as I would rather just have the car repainted or rewraped in the future if required so cannot justify the cost of PPF. But that's just my opinion as a lot of owners have indeed got PPF done. I’ve bought a DIY ceramic coating kit for $100 which I still need to apply to car so will try do a video on that.
@@EVKiwis Great, thanks, look forward to hearing how your ceramic coating kit goes as that is certainly cost effective!
@@EVKiwis BTW, I now have my M3 and its awesome! Much quicker than I thought it would be and really nice to drive on those twisty roads (amazing how it corners so well with all the weight!). Seems I was very lucky with my timing given the now high lead times and +$4k price. Adaptive cruise control (even without autosteer - as most of the time I prefer to steer) is highly underrated IMO - much more relaxed trips and I don't need to engage / disengage it all the time. Only slight downside is, as I expected, real world range is a lot lower than the advertised range but still plenty (~350km without driving economically) to be practical on road trips.
@@kiwijonowilson that's amazing news, sounds like you're loving it! I was certainly expecting the prices to rise but not as much and as quick as they happened so you definitely timed it perfectly :) Couldn't agree more that it's such a pleasure to drive on road trips and autopilot/ACC reduces so much driving fatigue. EV's range is dependant on a lot of different factors and is never the advertised range for pretty much all EVs. Though it's nice to be able to always charge these LFP batteries to 100% now unlike the previous 80% that was recommended for NCA batteries.
So when can I bring it round? 😂
Nicce! Best YT views provider -> P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!
You must be out of your mind if I will be doing all that just to wash my Tesla Model 3. You must have plenty of time on your hands. Just apply a PPF film on it and your good to go.
Fair enough, we are all entitled to our own opinions 🙂 It doesn’t actually take that long to wash it and for those that like to look after their car, a good car wash is a very enjoyable process! And not everyone can afford to get a full PPF done to their cars so it’s a great alternative for them to have a proper wash routine instead.
Some people find washing their car therapeutic
WTF
just go to the car wash
Lol that’s surely an option if you don’t mind the micro scratches on your car 🙂
Ohh dear. Where to start. Big disaster from start to finish. Poor car.
Please do enlighten me... I've been using this method for almost a year now and the car looks as good as it did on day one 🙂
ME is possibly nuts, it’s a great car, I have 2022 model 3 LR and love love love it. And feel great after giving it a nice bath
