Why Wash Your Tesla at Gloss?

Gloss uses 100% touchless washing technology and has a separate, specially formulated soap mixture to accommodate Tesla trim and glass surfaces. We are the only tunnel wash in Colorado that aligns with Tesla recommendations.

Tesla's sensors and precision glass surfaces require a delicate touch - typical car wash rotating brushes can scratch and damage these sensitive areas.  

Watch the next time you are at your local car wash - the brushes are covered in grease, dirt and grime.  This does not wash off between cars.  This is why Tesla only recommends using touch-less or hand washing for their cars.  Lucky for you, Gloss offers both!

Designed Specifically for Teslas — Because Your Car Deserves Better

Many automatic washes use aggressive brushes and harsh chemicals that can scratch soft paint, leave swirl marks, or interfere with Tesla’s sensor suite. At Gloss, we’ve engineered a process that respects the technology and materials that make Teslas special.

No retractable mirrors? No problem.
Sensitive ultrasonic sensors? Safe with us.
Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Coating? Our soaps are designed to preserve their shine and integrity.

Touch-Less Wash

The Soap Matters

At Gloss, we have calibrated a soap setting just for Tesla.  The coatings on Tesla glass can get a foggy haze depending on the pH of the detergents used.  We experimented and created a setting at Gloss that is milder than our normal wash and we only use it for our Tesla customers.

This lower pH car wash solution will ensure that even washing your Tesla once per week will not cause any fading in the paint.  

At Gloss, we recommend all Tesla owners consider having our car detail technicians apply a ceramic coating to your car's exterior.  This will help the paint's finish last as long as the drivetrain on your wonderful, environmentally friendly EV.

Tesla's magic

Car Wash Mode

Tesla now has a car wash mode in all of their cars! Wait, that's not entirely true. All Model 3, Model Y's and 2020 and newer Model S and Model X have it. Who does that exclude? Some older cars do not seem to have received the update. Our team has you covered though- if your car does not have the mode, our team will drive it through the tunnel!  When we say we are know all the in's and out's of Teslas and car washes, we are not kidding - we are Tesla owners ourselves and even have onsite Superchargers.
