Tesla S - Fireball Silla Ceramic -Year Coating after a year. Video
Just over a year ago, this stunning Tesla Model X received our Fireball Silla+ 5-year ceramic coating — one of the most advanced paint protection coatings on the market.
The owner brought it back to us recently for a tidy-up and a health check on the coating, giving us the perfect opportunity to see how it’s performing in real-world conditions.
A Year Later: How Is It Holding Up?
This Model X hasn’t been a garage queen. It’s been used and seen some motorway miles, braving all kinds of weather. Along the way, it’s picked up the expected signs of everyday use — a few stone chips on the nose, some scuffs on the wheels — but nothing excessive.
What matters is how the paintwork and coating have stood the test of time.
Inspection & Wash Process
When the car arrived, we carried out a thorough inspection of the paintwork. We then gave the Tesla a complete wash and dry — no additional coatings, no top-ups, just a proper clean to reveal the coating’s condition.
The results? The ceramic coating still performed like the day it was applied. The gloss was deep and rich, water beaded beautifully, and the surface felt as smooth as glass.
Why We Trust Fireball Coatings
We’ve been using Fireball ceramic coatings for many years, and the performance of this Tesla is exactly why we continue to recommend them. Fireball Silla+ offers:
-
Long-lasting gloss and depth of colour
-
Exceptional water-repelling properties
-
Strong resistance to road grime and environmental damage
-
5 years of proven protection
In this case, the coating required no reapplication after a year of regular use — a true testament to its durability and quality.
See the Results for Yourself
We captured a before and after, plus the wash process on video so you can see the coating’s performance one year on. It’s proof that when applied professionally and maintained correctly, ceramic coatings can keep your car looking showroom-fresh for years.
