Tesla Model Y: Polishing, Touch Up, and Body
Repair
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body, you
can occasionally treat the paint surfaces with an
approved polish containing:
- Very mild abrasive to remove surface contamination
without removing or damaging the paint.
- Filling compounds that fill scratches and reduce their
visibility.
- Wax to provide a protective coating between the
paint and environmental elements.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage. Treat
minor chips and scratches using a paint touch-up pen
(available for purchase from Tesla). Use the touch-up
pen after washing but before polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Refer to

CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes, color
restoration compounds, or polishes containing
harsh abrasives. These can scour the surface and
permanently damage the paint.
CAUTION: Do not use chrome polish or other
abrasive cleaners.
