The best paint protection options for the new Tesla Model Y "Juniper" 2025

The Tesla Model Y "Juniper" not only brings a fresh design but also some changes to the body. To keep the paint in top condition over the long term, there are various protection options – from paint protection films to ceramic coatings and traditional waxes. But which method is the best? Here’s how you can optimally protect your Model Y.

1. Paint Protection Films (PPF)

One of the most effective methods is the use of high-quality paint protection films, which provide a transparent layer of protection against stone chips, scratches, and UV radiation.

đź’ˇ Advantages:

  • Invisible protection for the original paint
  • High resistance to external influences
  • With some patience, almost anyone can install most parts themselves

Particularly vulnerable areas such as the front bumper, frunk hood, sills, wheel arches, and door handles benefit from a paint protection film. Many custom-fit kits are designed to be easily applied in your own garage with patience and the right technique.

2. Ceramic Coating

A ceramic coating forms an invisible protective layer on the paint and provides a water- and dirt-repellent surface.

đź’ˇ Advantages:

  • Facilitates vehicle cleaning
  • Enhances the paint’s shine
  • Reduces damage from UV radiation and chemicals

However, a coating does not protect against stone chips or deep scratches – in these cases, paint protection film offers better protection.

3. Wax Coating

A wax coating is a more affordable way to protect the paint, but it needs to be reapplied regularly.

đź’ˇ Advantages:

  • Easy to apply
  • Water-repellent effect
  • More affordable alternative to ceramic coating

4. Partial Film Application for High-Wear Areas

If a full film application is not an option, you can target specific vulnerable areas with paint protection film:

  • Front bumper & frunk hood (stone chip protection)
  • Sills & wheel arches (protection against dirt and scratches)
  • Door handles & loading edge (preventing wear marks)

With the right DIY kits, almost anyone can protect these areas themselves at home – without expensive workshop costs.

Conclusion: The Best Protection for Your Model Y "Juniper"

The choice of the right paint protection solution depends on individual needs. Paint protection films offer the best protection against stone chips and scratches, while a ceramic coating makes maintaining the paint easier.

Thanks to precisely cut films, almost anyone can install the paint protection themselves with a bit of patience and care – all comfortably at home! 🚗✨
