The full kit costs roughly what two one-time detail visits cost — but lasts years with proper use. Essential items are what you need to get started. Upgrades add protection and efficiency. Optional items handle specific situations.

01

Wash Essentials

Everything you need to perform a complete rinseless exterior wash. These are non-negotiable — don't skip any of these and don't substitute with generic alternatives.

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR)
Essential
Optimum Polymer Technologies
The foundation of the rinseless wash method. ONR's polymer technology encapsulates dirt and lubricates the paint surface so contaminants lift off without scratching. Mix at 1oz per gallon. A gallon jug lasts 12–18 months of monthly washes.

Optimum Big Red Sponge
Essential
Optimum Polymer Technologies
High-capacity sponge engineered for rinseless washing. Holds and releases ONR solution across the panel with minimal pressure — the way it releases solution is what protects the paint. Don't use a standard sponge as a substitute.
Designed specifically to work with ONR — not interchangeable
~$18

Microfiber Towels — 300–400 GSM (24 Pack)
Essential
Chemical Guys or The Rag Company
Use a fresh towel for every panel. Never reuse a towel that's touched the paint without laundering it. 300–400 GSM for washing and wiping panels. 500+ GSM for drying. Buy more than you think you need — running out of clean towels mid-wash is how you scratch paint.
Clean microfiber is the single biggest protection factor

Grit Guard + 5-Gallon Bucket
Essential
Grit Guard / Chemical Guys
The bucket is for rinsing your sponge only — not for ONR solution. The grit guard sits at the bottom and traps dirt so you're not dragging it back up when you dunk the sponge. Critical to preventing cross-contamination between panels.
Rinsing without a grit guard transfers contamination to clean panels

Interior Cleaning

Tesla's vegan leather and touchscreen require specific products. The wrong cleaner does permanent damage that builds up invisibly over time.

Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner
Essential
Chemical Guys
pH-neutral, alcohol-free, solvent-free. Safe on Tesla's vegan leather seats, dashboard, door panels, and screen surrounds. Sprays a fine mist — apply to a microfiber, never directly onto surfaces near the screen.
One of the few interior cleaners safe for all Tesla surfaces

303 Aerospace Protectant (Vegan Leather Conditioner)
Upgrade
303 Products
UV protection and conditioning for synthetic leather. Applied quarterly, it prevents the fading and cracking that Austin's intense sun causes to Tesla's vegan leather over time. Leaves a matte finish — no greasy look.
Austin UV makes quarterly conditioning non-optional for longevity

Invisible Glass Ammonia-Free Cleaner
Essential
Invisible Glass
Streak-free, ammonia-free automotive glass cleaner safe for tinted windows and Tesla's panoramic roof. Apply to the towel, not the glass — prevents overspray onto screen or vegan leather. Use a separate dedicated towel for glass only.
Ammonia damages window tint and screen coatings — don't use Windex

Decontamination

ONR removes surface dirt. These products remove bonded contamination that washing alone can't touch — brake dust, iron fallout, and bonded road film.

CarPro IronX Iron Remover
Upgrade
CarPro
Spray-on iron fallout remover. Turns purple on contact with iron contamination (brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout) — makes it visible and then dissolves it chemically. Use before washing on heavily contaminated vehicles, and quarterly as a maintenance decontamination. Safe on paint, glass, and wheels.

Paint Protection

Applied after washing, these products add a hydrophobic layer that makes the next wash easier, protects against UV, and keeps the paint looking new longer.

Adam's UV Ceramic Spray Coating
Upgrade
Adam's Polishes
Spray-and-wipe ceramic protection applied on a clean car. Provides 6–12 months of hydrophobic protection — water sheets off, bird droppings don't bond as hard, the paint has depth. Apply after every thorough wash or quarterly at minimum. Works on paint, glass, and wheels.
Makes every future wash faster and protects against Austin UV

Cybertruck Only

Stainless steel requires a dedicated sprayer — the sponge method is not safe for Cybertruck. One additional product, one technique change.

IK Multi Pro 12 Pressurized Sprayer
Required for Cybertruck
IK Sprayers
Pre-fill with mixed ONR solution. Spray directly onto the stainless steel panel, then wipe with a clean microfiber — never dunk a sponge. The pressurized spray ensures even coverage and sufficient lubrication before any contact. Also useful for faster panel-by-panel work on painted Teslas.
The only safe delivery method for ONR on Cybertruck stainless

Is the kit worth it?

The full kit costs roughly what two one-time detail visits cost — but most of these products last 18–24 months. Over two years, that works out to under $8 per wash. The time investment is about 90 minutes per wash if you're thorough. If that's worth it to you, the kit is the right call. If your time is worth more than that, a CurrentDetail membership starts at $59/month and we bring everything.
