At Kartal Auto, we specialize in high-end detailing services for luxury vehicles, and we recently had the honor of working on a Bentley Continental GTC. Our detailing job uncovered several issues that required expert attention to ensure the car’s pristine appearance and performance. Our team quickly identified these challenges and applied the most effective solutions to restore the vehicle to its full luxury potential.
Issues Identified:
- Paint Swirl Marks and Scratches
- Problem: The vehicle’s paint had multiple swirl marks and light scratches, likely caused by improper washing techniques and environmental contaminants.
- Solution: To address these imperfections, we performed a multi-stage paint correction process. This included a thorough decontamination wash, followed by machine polishing to eliminate swirl marks and fine scratches. We finished by applying a ceramic coating for enhanced protection and a glossy, smooth finish that would resist future blemishes.
- Water Spots and Mineral Stains
- Problem: The exterior of the Bentley had stubborn water spots and mineral stains, often left behind after drying, which marred its flawless appearance.
- Solution: Our detailing specialists used an advanced water spot remover treatment that gently lifted the mineral stains from the surface without damaging the paint. We then applied a hydrophobic sealant to ensure that future water droplets would slide off easily, preventing further water spot buildup.
- Faded or Discolored Trim and Exterior Parts
- Problem: The plastic and rubber trims around the windows, mirrors, and bumpers had faded due to UV exposure, resulting in a dull and worn-out appearance.
- Solution: We revitalized these areas using trim restoration products designed specifically for high-end vehicles. These products not only restored the original color but also provided UV protection, ensuring the trim would remain vibrant and well-protected against future sun damage.
- Interior Leather Wear and Staining
- Problem: The leather upholstery inside the Bentley Continental GTC showed signs of wear and staining, including light discoloration on the seats and armrests.
- Solution: Our team performed a deep leather cleaning and conditioning process. We used premium leather care products to clean, restore, and rehydrate the leather. This process removed stains and signs of wear while preserving the softness and texture of the leather. We also applied a protective layer to guard against future staining and cracking.
- Cabin Odors
- Problem: The interior of the car had a musty or unpleasant odor, likely due to moisture and contaminants trapped in the upholstery and air vents.
- Solution: Our technicians performed an ozone treatment to eliminate odors from the cabin. This process purifies the air, removing bacteria, mold, and mildew, and leaves the interior smelling fresh. Additionally, we cleaned and deodorized the air vents, ensuring a pleasant fragrance throughout the car.
