At Kartal Auto, we specialize in providing top-tier automotive services, and our recent ceramic coating application for the Bentley EXP 10 Speed was no exception. During the process, we conducted a detailed inspection and discovered several issues that required our expert attention. Here’s a breakdown of the problems we identified and the solutions we implemented to ensure the vehicle received the highest level of protection and restoration.
Issues Identified:
- Paint Contaminants and Environmental Fallout
- Problem: Before applying the ceramic coating, we noticed several paint contaminants, such as industrial fallout, rail dust, and tree sap, embedded in the paint surface. These contaminants could affect the bonding of the ceramic coating and potentially lead to an uneven finish.
- Solution: We began by performing a clay bar decontamination process, which effectively removed all surface contaminants. This preparation ensured that the surface was completely smooth, clean, and free from debris, allowing the ceramic coating to adhere perfectly and create a flawless, protective layer over the paint.
- Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
- Problem: Upon inspection, we discovered that the vehicle’s paint had some swirl marks and light scratches, likely caused by improper washing or buffing techniques. These imperfections would have been magnified once the ceramic coating was applied, leading to an uneven finish.
- Solution: We carried out a multi-stage paint correction to eliminate the swirl marks and fine scratches. Using advanced polishing techniques, our experts removed the imperfections from the paint, leaving the surface smooth and polished. This ensured that the ceramic coating would be applied to a flawless surface, resulting in a pristine, glossy finish.
- Water Spots and Mineral Deposits
- Problem: The vehicle had visible water spots and mineral deposits, especially around the windows and lower panels, caused by exposure to hard water. If not treated, these spots could compromise the application of the ceramic coating and cause long-term damage to the paint.
- Solution: We treated the water spots with a specialized water spot removal solution to dissolve and remove the mineral deposits. Afterward, we thoroughly washed and dried the vehicle, ensuring that the paint was free from any residues or water stains, allowing for the ceramic coating to bond properly to the surface.
- Faded Trim and Plastic Components
- Problem: The vehicle’s exterior plastic trim and rubber seals showed signs of fading due to prolonged exposure to UV rays and environmental contaminants. This could detract from the overall aesthetic of the car, making it look worn out.
- Solution: Before applying the ceramic coating, we performed a trim restoration to rejuvenate the faded plastic and rubber components. Using a professional plastic and trim restore product, we brought the trim pieces back to their original color and finish. This treatment ensured the entire exterior of the Bentley looked fresh and well-maintained.
- Uneven Surface Texture
- Problem: During our inspection, we noticed that some areas of the car’s surface were rougher than others, likely due to contamination or buildup of road grime. This uneven texture would affect how the ceramic coating bonded to the paint and could result in a less consistent finish.
- Solution: We performed a final surface polish to smooth out any uneven areas. This ensured that the paint was completely smooth, with no imperfections or debris left behind. Once polished, the surface was ready for the ceramic coating application, which created a uniform, high-gloss finish.
