Vehicle: Tesla Model X (Black)
Project Type: Full Blackout Package + Exterior & Interior Detailing
Goal: Sleeker, darker appearance with a refreshed, high-gloss finish
Installer Team: Prestige Protective Films
Service Location: Waterford, Michigan
The owner of this Tesla Model X wanted a cleaner, sharper look that matched the SUV’s modern design. The factory chrome and lighter trim pieces stood out more than he liked, so a full blackout package was the perfect way to create a smoother, more aggressive appearance.
Daily driving around Waterford and the Metro Detroit area also leaves behind light dust, fingerprints, and wear that can dull black paint quickly. A full detailing session helped restore the gloss, refresh the interior, and give the vehicle the premium finish it deserves.
Most importantly, the owner wanted the job done right, clean installation, uniform color, and attention to detail. After hearing about the quality and hospitality at Prestige Protective Films, he trusted our team to elevate the look of his Model X without compromise.
We transformed all chrome and silver elements on the Tesla Model X into a clean blacked-out finish. This included trim pieces, emblems, badges, and exterior accents. By replacing the bright factory look with a darker uniform tone, the SUV gained a sharper, more modern appearance that complements its black paint beautifully.
Every trim piece and Tesla emblem was prepped, cleaned, and refinished for a consistent blackout look. We ensured smooth adhesion, wrapped edges where possible, and matched gloss levels so each component blended seamlessly into the vehicle’s exterior.
Before completing the blackout work, we performed a full exterior detail using a dedicated decontamination wash, clay bar treatment, and gloss-safe finishing techniques. This restored clarity to the paint, removed surface contaminants, and ensured the black finish looked deep and reflective once all blackout elements were installed.
To complete the transformation, we refreshed the interior using gentle cleaners, microfiber tools, and interior-safe products. All high-touch surfaces were cleaned, dusted, and revived, giving the cabin a crisp, like-new feel that matched the upgraded exterior.
We inspected the entire vehicle under multiple lighting angles to confirm consistency, alignment, and finish quality. The Model X left Prestige Protective Films with a clean, cohesive blackout look from every angle.
We always begin with a full wash to remove dust, road film, and anything that could interfere with the blackout work. The Tesla Model X was pre-rinsed, then foamed down using a pH-balanced soap to soften debris. We used microfiber wash mitts, a two-bucket method, and gentle brushes around emblems and trim to avoid scratching the black paint.
Once the wash was complete, we moved into decontamination using an iron remover to break down embedded particles, followed by a clay bar treatment with a dedicated clay lubricant. This gave us a perfectly smooth surface to work on, which is essential for vinyl adhesion and uniform detailing results.
A blackout transformation only looks good when every surface is prepped properly. We used adhesive-safe degreasers and alcohol-based surface cleaners to remove oils, wax, and residue from all chrome and silver trim pieces.
Tight areas around window trim and door moldings were cleaned with soft detailing swabs and panel brushes to ensure no contamination would interfere with the vinyl or refinishing materials. This step helps prevent peeling, lifting, or color inconsistency once the blackout film is applied.
With the Model X fully prepped, we began the blackout transformation. Using high-quality vinyl and refinishing materials selected for exterior trim, we applied black film to window trim, side accents, badges, and Tesla emblems.
Slip solution, heat guns, and soft squeegee blades helped us shape the film cleanly around curves and tight edges. Wherever possible, we wrapped edges for cleaner lines and longer durability. Each badge and trim piece was refinished carefully to match sheen and tone, ensuring the final result looked factory-correct rather than aftermarket.
Once the exterior was complete, we moved inside the cabin for an interior refresh. Using interior-safe cleaners, soft brushes, microfiber towels, and vacuum attachments, we cleaned the seats, console, dash, and all high-touch surfaces.
This step brought back the crisp, clean feel Tesla interiors are known for and made sure the inside matched the upgraded look of the exterior. No harsh chemicals were used, keeping every material safe and streak-free.
To finish the project, we inspected the entire vehicle under multiple lighting angles. LED lighting helped us spot alignment issues, fingerprints, edges, or small imperfections in the blackout work. We checked each trim piece to ensure the finish was consistent and wiped down the Model X with a gloss-safe spray to restore depth to the black paint.
Once everything passed inspection, the SUV was staged for delivery. The final result was a clean, aggressive, fully refreshed Model X that matched exactly what the owner hoped for.
Once the blackout work and detailing were complete, the Tesla Model X had a completely renewed presence. The chrome was replaced with a clean, unified black finish, and the SUV carried a sharper, more modern look that matched its deep paint perfectly. Every trim piece, badge, and accent blended into a darker, sleeker profile.
The detailing brought the exterior gloss back to life, and the interior felt fresh and inviting again. With its updated styling and refined finish, the Model X left Prestige Protective Films looking elevated from every angle, a transformation that stood out just as much as the owner hoped it would.
