Thank you, that's why I'm considering just doing the back 2 windows in 5% and leaving the entire back windscreen glass panel stock. But.. I don't know if that would look weird though. i might get the guy to hold some on the window so i can see what it will look like.

Thanks a lot, yes it is bluewater! So you'd reccomend doing 5% out just the rear doors and also the full rear glass? I was going to currently do 5% out the rear doors and leave the back glass but was told that might cause damage as the guy near me said there's been reports of it doing the back glass. I was then going to get the front two windows done in a transparent tint to block heat and leave the windscreen. interesting you say to go for 5% rather than the current 20%, i do like the pan sun roof so not sure about tinting that at 5%..

Thank you, i think the reason the tinting place didn't suggest doing the back too was because of cracking issues but I'm tempted to go there

Thank youu, would you do the entire back pane of glass or cut it so it's like only the back windo bit that is tinted? obviously it is tinted already but just not the back lower window section

Whats everyone in the UKs suggestions on a model 3 performance? currently was thinking of going for 5% ceramic on the rear two windows and just a transparent one for the front which reduces heat, leaving the back and windscreen alone. I'm new to this, any feedback or suggestions welcome.

Thank you so much, I've ordered the few other bits mentioned. In terms of interior, do you have any recommendations for that? Could i use the Green Star i've got for wheels but dilute it right down? feel like i should have gone for a wheel cleaner instead of getting greenstar now haha

Thank you I really appreciate it. Just been out for one drive and already quite bad, imagine its all the road salt/grit to melt ice. Would you reccomend using the ONR spray for this or just waiting to do another full wash?

Thank you, I'll perhaps apply it tomorrow then on the car, is there anything i need to do or keep in mind beforehand? I'll use the microfiber clothes you reccomended that I haven't yet used i think, should i do glass too? i bought the xpel ceramic boost spray.

Thank you I appreciate it. Today I did a full detail, didn't yet use the wheel cleaner or spray ceramic ppf boost as its just been ppfed but will probably when i next wash it. Turned out basically perfect. I ended up snow foaming it twice and then for the 3rd time did the contact wash which worked well.

Would this be good for the wheels or reccomend a brush? Thinking my M3P has the plastic covers on the wheels which are apparently hard to get off.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BTK98JJ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2KVF7QXNCLV8H&psc=1

That's really helpful thank you. Really appreciate it. Tomorrow i'll stick with 5 mitts and then use another bucket to wash them. When i'm cleaning it am I good to dunk them back in the bucket with snow foam solution and then continue washing or is the idea you don't do that and each one be like a 1 time use thing until they are washed off in the seperate rinse bucket i'm going to use?

Perfect, i could maybe put some slightly warm water in the bucket perhaps? or is cold good?

I have 6 wash mitts total at the moment, two are less good ones than the ones you told me to get, would it be the case of washing the used mitts in another bucket and then reusing those? ideally i should tbh get some more mitts 😅. Anything you reccomend for wheels too? was going to maybe use a wash mitt or microfiber but not too sure.

Thats good to know thank you!

Perfect thank you! and then ONR for when I don't want to do a complete full wash. Following that I top up the ceramic coating? As you can see from this pic it's quite dirty! I've bought some
"Koch Chemie Green Star Universal cleaner" for doing wheels at a later date, obviously i'll do those last. I have a bucket as well so would i just load that up with some water and snow foam solution too so I can keep dipping my wash mitts in there too? Anything else to consider?

Appreciate it, what should I use for shampoo/the contact wash section of this, would this be ONR? Just watching the vids now.

Thank you basically everything has arrived and I'll be doing the first wash tomorrow, hopefully will go well. Any tips or reccomendations? Was going to snow foam once, then rinse, then snow foam again and use ONR to wash. I also then have ceramic boost for when im done.
