There’s a reason we’re always full of Teslas

The L5 Difference

Melbourne’s Tesla protection specialists

Lucky Five Motorsport is a dedicated Tesla specialist — not a general detailer that also takes on Teslas. Our founder, Michael Loverso, is Tesla-trained and accredited, and that expertise is the technical foundation the entire workshop is built on. The installation methods, quality standards and technical knowledge we apply to every Tesla come directly from it — so you get the same specialist standard whichever of our team works on your car.

A genuine Tesla specialist

Not a general detailer that also does Teslas. Lucky Five is a dedicated Tesla workshop, focused on the platform and the technology beneath the paint.

Built on Tesla-trained expertise

Our founder’s Tesla training and accreditation set the technical standard every installation is measured against.

One standard, every technician

Our methods and quality benchmarks are consistent across the team, so your result never depends on who’s on the tools.

Paint Protection Film
The world's best film, installed the way a Tesla demands

As an Avery Dennison Global Platinum Partner, we install their paint protection film — backed by 91 years of adhesive and film science — in clear, satin and full colour.

Self-healing

Light scratches and swirls vanish with heat from the sun or warm water.

Virtually invisible

Protection you feel but can't see — your Tesla's finish, untouched.

Stone-chip defence

Absorbs the impacts that chip and scar unprotected paint.

Up to 12-year warranty

Ultima 7-year and Xtreme Supreme 12-year options.

Why qualified installation matters

Your Tesla drives itself. That changes who should touch it.

Full Self-Driving relies on a precise array of cameras and sensors. Fitting PPF to a Tesla means carefully removing and refitting panels, mirrors and trim — directly around those camera systems. In an era where the car is genuinely driving itself, letting unqualified, untrained hands disassemble and reassemble around the very cameras that steer, brake and navigate should be unthinkable.

Every L5 install is carried out by our Tesla Specialist Team — led by Michael Loverso, trained and accredited by Tesla. Panels, mirrors and trim are carefully disassembled and reassembled back to factory OEM specification — the way it should be, with no damage, and camera systems checked and recalibrated on completion.

With Michael’s Tesla accreditation, we also have access to Tesla genuine parts and accessories, so anything that needs replacing is replaced correctly — not bodged. Given our experience, qualifications and training, our team genuinely understands both the paint and the technology beneath it.

No damage. No shortcuts. No compromise to the systems keeping you safe.

Your Aftercare Guide
Caring for your paint protection film

Your film is engineered to be low-maintenance — and your care starts with us. Here's everything you need to keep it flawless and protect your warranty.

Bonus care, included

The first two weeks — leave the washing to us

Please don't wash your Tesla for the first two weeks while the film fully bonds. There's no need to — your first wash is on us. Bring it back for your complimentary 2-week health check and we'll take care of it.

Your complimentary 2-week health check

This is care you won't get everywhere. About two weeks after installation, bring your Tesla back and we'll:

  • Carry out the first wash for you — done properly, by hand.
  • Inspect every edge, seam and panel now the film has fully cured.
  • Make any small tweaks or adjustments so your PPF is flawless for the long haul.

Think of it as the final step of your installation — included, and part of the L5 standard.

How to wash (after your health check)

Once we've done your first wash, keep it simple: hand wash only with a pH-neutral automotive shampoo and a clean microfibre mitt, in the shade, and dry with a microfibre towel.

We recommend the NXTZEN Wash Kit — pH-neutral products designed to keep your film and coating performing at their best. Ask us and we'll set you up.

Drying

Always dry the car fully with clean microfibre towels. Don't let it air-dry — evaporating water leaves mineral spots that are difficult to remove later.

Bird droppings, sap & bugs

Remove contaminants promptly with a pH-neutral product and a soft microfibre cloth. Don't scrub or use abrasives. The film resists staining, but prompt removal keeps it perfect.

What to avoid
  • Washing at all for the first two weeks — let us do the first wash
  • Automatic car washes — both brush and touchless
  • High-pressure water aimed at the film edges
  • Abrasive, solvent or harsh chemical cleaners
  • Waxing over the film edges
  • Letting the car air-dry
Self-healing & long-term

Fine scratches and swirls in the top coat self-heal with warmth — from the sun or warm water. For anything more (an edge lift, an impact mark), don't pick at it — contact us and we'll assess it under your warranty.

Unsure about a product or a mark on the film? Message us before you touch it. L5 Motorsport — Avery Dennison Global Platinum Partner & Melbourne's original Tesla specialist.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Tesla Full Vehicle PPF Installation Service take ?+
We allow 4-5 days for a full vehicle Tesla installation
How long does the Tesla Full Front PPF Installation Service take?+
We allow 2.5 days for a Tesla Full Front PPF Installation
What type of damage does PPF protect my Tesla from?+
In short Tesla Paint Protection Film (PPF) acts as a barrier protecting your exterior from impact damage; stone chips, scratches, UV damage, swirl marks, staining. PPF will preserve the painted exterior of your vehicle promoting brand new condition
How does the self healing properties of PPF work on my Tesla?+
In the event that your Tesla's PPF is impacted, Avery Dennison Xtreme Supreme PPF self healing technology is activated with the application of heat which will see the damaged site repair itself back to original form
Will PPF void my Tesla warranty?+
The installation of PPF does not void any Tesla warranties
Is Tesla PPF covered by insurance if replacement is required as part of a claim?+
We encourage all clients to advise insurers of their Tesla PPF Installation once it is complete. To date, we have not experienced any refusal from well-informed insurers regarding replacement of PPF as part of a claim
Can Tesla PPF and other Protection Services be added to my Novated lease?+
Protection services are commonly included within novated lease arrangements. Services such as PPF, Ceramic Coating and Tinting are considered as 'protection services'
Will a ceramic or graphene coating stop stone chips?+
No — it's the most common thing we correct in the workshop. A coating protects against contamination, UV and washing wear and gives an incredible shine, but only paint protection film stops a physical stone chip.
Why does a proper PPF install take four to five days?+
We put one Tesla-trained specialist on your car and treat it like a work of art — panels removed, every edge wrapped, cameras recalibrated. A three-day turnaround means multiple installers and mismatched standards on the one vehicle.
Do you cut the film around badges, cameras and trims?+
No. Most installers do, to save time. Because Michael is a qualified panel beater and Tesla-trained, we remove those parts, install the film underneath, wrap the edges and refit everything — so there are no exposed edges and it looks like factory paint.
Why does it matter that the cameras are recalibrated?+
Your Tesla drives on its cameras. If they're removed during an install and not recalibrated to factory OEM standards, it affects Autopilot and your safety systems. We handle that recalibration as part of the job.
Why do you use Avery Dennison film?+
It's the best in the world, from a manufacturer of almost 100 years that makes its own adhesive rather than buying the cheapest option. Cheap, self-imported film is not the same product — a poor adhesive can damage the very paint you're protecting.

Ceramic Paint Protection

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer coating that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint, creating layers of protection from UV rays, stains, and etching. This makes cleaning the surface of your vehicle easier, as it creates a super hydrophobic coating that helps to repel water, dirt, and road grime whilst dramatically increasing gloss levels and heightening the appearance of your vehicle. 

Window Tinting

Our ceramic window tint films increase protection, privacy and heat deflection capabilities. Window tinting completes the enhanced look of a vehicle.
