Tesla detailing in Palo Alto

We detail a Tesla like any other car: by hand, inside and out, at your home or office.

Mobile Tesla detailing, same as every car

Tesla detailing with NOVA follows the same process we use on every vehicle. Our mobile team comes to your driveway, garage or office lot in Palo Alto and the rest of the Peninsula, cleans the cabin by hand and then washes the outside. NOVA is independent and has no link to the carmaker.

You do not need to be there. Leave the car where we agreed and we will text you when we are done.

Light seats and a minimal cabin

White and light synthetic seats are popular in these cars, and they show jeans dye, sunscreen and pet marks quickly. We clean them with mild products and soft brushes, then wipe them dry. Most everyday marks lift. Older dye transfer may only fade, and we will tell you which is which.

The cabin has few buttons, so dust and fingerprints gather on the wide flat surfaces. We wipe the dash, door panels, console and cupholders, vacuum the carpets and clean the mats.

  • Light seats and headrests
  • Center console and storage bins
  • Door panels and pockets
  • Carpets, mats and the rear cargo floor

Glass roof and screen care

The large glass roof is cleaned carefully from the inside with fresh microfiber, working in sections so we do not leave streaks across the panel. Outside, it is washed by hand like the rest of the car.

The touchscreen is wiped with a dry or lightly damp microfiber. It is never sprayed directly, and we do not use glass cleaner on it.

Paint, wheels and the right package

We hand wash the paint, clean the wheels and tires, dress the tires and finish the glass. Aero wheel covers and the gaps behind them are cleaned too, since brake dust and road grime collect there. Light marks on small areas you approve can get spot buffing where the paint allows.

The Full Detail covers inside and outside in one visit and suits most owners. We do not offer ceramic coating, paint correction, wraps or paint protection film. If your car already has film or a wrap, tell us so we can wash it the right way.

The package we suggest

Full Detail. Prices depend on the car and its condition, so we text you an exact price before anything is booked. Not sure? Text a photo and we will suggest one.

Questions

Do you treat a Tesla any differently from other cars?
No. The process is the same hand detail we give every car.
Can you clean white seats that have blue jeans marks?
Yes, we work on them carefully. Fresh marks usually lift; older ones may only fade.
Will you spray cleaner on the screen?
Never. Screens get a dry or lightly damp microfiber wipe only.
Can you clean the glass roof inside without streaks?
Yes. We work it in sections with clean microfiber and check it in the light before we finish.
Do I need to be home?
No. Leave the car where we agreed. Please make sure there is a standard outlet within reach of the car.
