- After some research I tried Carpro Leather cquartz 2.0 on my Tesla model Y. I applied it to the steering wheel, dash, doors, seats, and centre console for UV protection. The leather did turn slightly darker. I was really impressed and the leather felt a little more slippery in a good way, but not greasy at all. Carpro Leather cquartz 2.0 was easy to apply and definitely a good thing for the do it yourselfers to try. Highly recommended.

Great vid G King as usual!
That GK blue pops!
I love it !!!! Thanks
I am definitely going to do this! Looks like it's brand spanking new
You can try on fabric and see how it looks, try in a small area first that no one sees, just in case it does not work out....... you never know. Its good on leather, but on fabric I think it would work as the microfibre cloths are now waterproof haha
That green tape like you are going to paint is a super smart move!
It was scared to get the stuff on the suede insert in the door as I didn't want it to discolour anything.
Thank you for sharing this!🙏🏽
Thanks !!!
Beautiful Model Y!

Thanks so much !!!!
Very good auto assembly and repair useful video🔔👍👍13 lik.e
Thank you !!!
Cool! I gotta try this on my next car!
Thanks for the comment. I was actually pretty surprised at how well it worked. The leather is a little darker (not much) but feels much better. I actually did the ceramic coat to the corvette as well. Have a good weekend :)
@@GarageKing looks even better now!
@@Guyontheinternet1 I think it does. I really like the look of it, plus I know its protected well :) Thanks Nish !!!
14 Like great detail instruction good information, yes my steering wheel is all worn out 😂😂 but this is good for new car. I always watch your video to the end never borring or skipping. Have a great day , How you like your new Tesla ? what is it like compair to your corvett ? you should a compairson on the 2 cars ??🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks soo much !!! Glad you caught the steering wheel ceramic coat !! They didn't have this years ago. Now I think all new cars should get it !!! I love the new Tesla, very good decision to buy. The corvette is very different, its loud, and faster than the Model Y, but the car is very different. For Saturday night fun I like the Corvette. For daily driver to work I like the Tesla :)
Glad I found this video. just got my interior ceramic coated but noticed there was a lot of missed spots on my seats after it dried up. should i go back and reapply the coating and will it be noticeable from the last time i coated it
Hey there, yup go back and do it. Do the whole seat again, it won't hurt it and it will blend all the spots so it will look good. If you don't have enough to do the whole seat then give the spots a good buffing. I find they can actually some out. This happened to me on the doors (there was one spot and I was worried) so I just buffed it again and it came out. I did this in the summer and its still holding up well !!!
Thanks for posting this, all the others that I've seen only show covering the seats. I want to put it on my dash & doors like you did, have you noticed any changes or negatives with those plastics or vinyl (or whatever material it's made of lol)?
Hey there and thanks for the comment. I noticed that it darkens everything, but not by much. So if you did 1/2 door panel you would notice where you stopped, but if you do the whole door panel you would never know. I really am happy that I did it, and its a whole lot better than any leather conditioner that I have used, plus it does not have to be reapplied and its suppose to last for a quite sometime. My steering wheel feels more slippery, in a good way, it will repel sweat. Any dirt on the doors wipes off very easy. I think everyone should put this on their steering wheel as that gets the most wear. I actually have a 2019 Corvette Z06 that I bought new. I rarely drive the car, and did the ceramic coat on it as well as I was so happy with the results. if you have any other questions just let me know. Soon I will be posting the PPF that I put on the Tesla headlights. I recommend that as well as its got the UV protector in it. So I'm hoping it will prevent any yellowing of the headlights over time, plus it prevents small rock chips in them.
@@GarageKing thanks!! I'm hoping it will protect the arm rests and area by the window from my wife's array of cream and sunscreen lol.
I did ppf on the headlights a couple of weeks ago. Also did ppf on the very front of the hood. First time trying and it turned out pretty good. I still have the bumper ppf but no time yet. The headlight film I got from weathertech and fitment on one edge wasn't great. The film should've been cut a little more so both sides would lay flat. I tried to cut it a bit but it's not perfect. It went on a '22 pathfinder, if you look at a pic of the front it's where the headlights have a sharp angle about half way up on the inside by the grille. The rest of the film I got from xpel and I'm very pleased with their measurements
@@reddsvids Thanks for the comment. Yes I was thinking like you. I wanted to protect the door and centre arm rests from arms, and that big flat dash from the sun. I did the Xpel on the front headlights and it looks awesome. It went on good and it covers to the corners. I was very pleased. I'm going to do the front bumper but I have not ordered the kit yet. I'm really glad I did the headlights (I also did the door sills on my corvette) so I could get use to using the stuff. It does take a bit to get use to it. Plus with the front bumper we are going to need tack solution as well as slip solution. I just used the xpel gel as slip solution and really liked it. Thanks for the follow up :)
You should do a video on your view pro and con on the Tesla I think it will be a hit...
Ohhh, I think that is a good idea. I'm going to start making a list. May take a month or so to produce, but I think you are right !!!!
so cool thank you ❤❤10 lik.e
Thank you :)
Date is not expiration but production year. Have one 4yrs old still works
Thanks, very good to know as I have a few older bottles. Thank you :)
Vegan leather is a fancy word for vinyl
Yup you know it, good marketing !!
The upper part of the door card isn‘t covered with leather. Were there any problems over the time?
Hey there and thanks for the comment. I was originally concerned about that and thought what the heck I'll try it anyways. No problems at all. Glad I did the whole thing !!!
I do have a ceramic coating bottle for the outside paint protector can i use the same bottle for the leather inside?
Ohhh, I'm not sure, I would not as maybe it could dry shiny and then flake off or something. You could try a really small area near the bottom of the seat and see what happens? This way if it does not work out no one will see. The ceramic coat that I used was made for leather so I didn't worry. If you have one of those cheap ceramic coat bottles you never know how they are going to perform.
Great vid! Looking to buy this product and use it on my truck. Maintenance wise how do I clean my seats after I apply this?
Hey there and thanks for the comment. So far I haven't had to clean anything. The leather just seems to stay clean. My steering wheel still feels great. I would say if you have to wipe something off just use a damp cloth.
I have different material for seats. I don't think I could use that on my seats.
You never know, you know when I was buffing off the leather I kept the fabric microfibre cloth and its still soft today. You would never know I used it for buffing. I'll have to throw it out as it repels water and washing it can't remove the ceramic coat !!! I'm not sure how you could apply it to fabric, but it would probably keep fabric looking like new and when you head to the beach who cares about water in the car, it will all just wipe away !!
hey, i have a question. Do u think i can do all 4 seats? so both applications with the 30 mil?
All questions welcome here. Humm, that's a good question. I think you could but you would not be able to be as liberal with it. I would do one coat on all 4 seats. Then with the extra I would do the second coat on the front seats and see if you have enough for the rear.
@@GarageKing hmm ok, yeah its more for clients i have. if they say 2 applications i need to do 2. But Carpro dont tell how many seats i can cover. thanks
@@carcarerijen Ya, I think they don't tell that as there are too many variables. Its not like ceramic coat on paint where you kind of put it on. For the leather you can really slather it on, or put it on light. I do think with the 30 you can do 4 seats, but the second coat may be lighter. Also the microfiber that you use does not have to be constantly turned, you can let is get a little saturated, then get a new one, and use the first one that is saturated to help level the coat. It does not get hard like paint stuff. The microfibre town I used was still soft the next say. It just would not absorb any water.
do you think 30ml will suffice for 2 coats on 5 seats?
I think you should be ok, but probably no door panels. Just seats only and not too heavy.
Can it be used for white seats as well?
I don't see why not, I would just try it on a small part down near the bottom to be sure. I did think video quite a while ago, and the ceramic coat is still excellent.
Is it ok to get some of this on the plastics or no??
yes for sure, you see I put it on the plastic dash, and on the door part that was plastic and no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you buff it off, don't leave drips.
Did you try it on the alcantara?
Hi There, no go on that, and you know it probably would work as the microfibre cloths stayed soft when they dried, so I think it would work but I can't guarantee it. You are probably safer (with alcantara or fabric) to use Carpro Fabric. I used it on fabric and it works great, heck it even did wonders for my running shoes !!!! ua-cam.com/video/Wwx-6sefIC4/v-deo.html
Do you have an update for this?
I didn't do an update video, but I can tell you its still holding up really well. No discolouration and the steering wheel, which would probably get the most wear (you know hands rubbing) is still holding up great. I'm glad I did it.
How long does the protection last? You should do a 6 month and 12 month video update
Will do, and a great idea !!! So far it's still good and we are at about 5 months as I did it in June.
I got mine done by a professional a year ago. I have a Mazda CX5 and I must say that the leather looks brand new!
@@Ramenoth Thanks for the reply, I do appreciate it, and I'm sold on ceramic coating the interior. Mine is still going strong and looks great. The fake leather doesn't even look like its wearing.
@@GarageKing I’m even thinking on doing it on the sofa hahaha. What do you use to clean the leather sits tho?
@@Ramenoth Hey you know, I guess I'm lucky and I haven't had to clean the seats yet. No spills and most of the time it's just me so I haven't had to clean them yet. I have used CarPro Inside on the leather on an Acura and it works great, I filmed it, but have not edited and posted it yet. I was really impressed with it.
So it works on plastic. Wonder how it works on leather?
Works great, I pretty much did most of the interior including the leather in the video. I did the leather first, and then thought hey why not try the plastic as I could not find any videos of people using it on plastic. So I did both the leather and plastic, no issues at all. The leather does have a more slick feel to it now. Its especially noticeable on the steering wheel, and I really wanted to protect that flat dash part from the sun.
@@GarageKing Tesla's do not have any leather.
@@Drivethisnotthat Ha Ha!!! I get you now, and I know its not real leather, I didn't get your comment at first, but do now LOL :) To answer your question it works great on fake leather !!! Have a good day brother !!!
Great share! Nice video🛎lik.e 10
