At Kartal Auto, we’re committed to providing top-tier automotive services, including paint protection film (PPF) installations, to ensure your luxury vehicle stays pristine. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a Bentley Bentayga, one of the most luxurious SUVs on the road today. During the installation of the PPF, our expert team identified a few issues but swiftly took action to resolve them, ensuring the vehicle received the highest level of protection.
Here’s a breakdown of the issues we encountered during the PPF installation and the solutions we implemented:
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Surface Imperfections on the Paint
Upon preparing the Bentley Bentayga for PPF installation, our team observed some minor paint imperfections, including swirl marks and small scratches. These imperfections can affect the final look of the paint protection and compromise its adhesion.
Solution: Before applying the PPF, we conducted a full paint correction service. This process removed any imperfections from the paint surface, ensuring a flawless foundation for the film. The PPF was then applied smoothly, enhancing both the vehicle’s appearance and the durability of the film. By addressing these surface issues, we ensured the Bentayga received the best possible protection.
2. Issue: Complex Curves and Body Lines
The Bentley Bentayga features intricate curves and sharp body lines, which can make PPF installation more challenging. Wrapping the film around these complex areas without stretching or misaligning can be difficult.
Solution: Our technicians are highly skilled and experienced in handling complex car designs. We used custom-cut PPF that perfectly matched the Bentayga’s contours. Additionally, we employed advanced techniques to stretch and mold the film around difficult curves and edges, ensuring a precise and seamless application. The result was a smooth, bubble-free finish that highlights the vehicle’s stunning design.
3. Issue: Film Stretching and Misalignment
During the installation, we noticed some slight stretching of the PPF film on the edges of the doors and bumpers. This can happen when the film is applied under heat or pressure but is not carefully monitored.
Solution: To solve this, our team carefully reapplied the PPF to the affected areas, ensuring that the film adhered smoothly without any excess stretching. We also utilized a more advanced heat and tension control method during installation, allowing the film to settle correctly. By re-aligning the film and ensuring it adhered perfectly along the edges, we guaranteed no lifting or wrinkling over time.
4. Issue: Air Bubbles and Trapped Dirt
Occasionally, air bubbles or dirt particles can get trapped under the PPF, which can affect the overall finish and the film’s performance.
Solution: We take great care to ensure that the application surface is completely clean before applying the film. Our team used a cleanroom environment to prevent dust and dirt from contaminating the application. During the installation, we used a combination of heat guns and special tools to press out any air bubbles, ensuring a perfect, smooth finish with no imperfections. After installation, we performed a final inspection to make sure the film was flawless and free of any trapped particles.
5. Issue: Edging and Film Lifting
Another issue we noticed was slight lifting around the edges of the PPF on some areas, especially near the wheel arches and front bumper.
Solution: Our team re-processed the edges by carefully trimming and sealing them with precision. We applied extra adhesive at the edges to ensure they were securely bonded. The PPF was then heat-cured around these edges to prevent future lifting and ensure long-lasting protection. Our attention to detail ensures that the PPF stays firmly in place, even on high-contact areas.
