At Kartal Auto, we specialize in premium automotive services, offering expert solutions for luxury vehicles. Recently, our team had the privilege of completing a high-end car wrapping job on a Bentley Continental Super Sports in Dubai. While the wrapping was executed with great attention to detail, we identified a few issues that needed immediate attention to ensure the vehicle maintained its luxury look and protection. Here’s an overview of the issues we found and the solutions we implemented to resolve them.
Issues Identified During the Wrapping Process
Wrinkling and Air Bubbles in the Film
- During the wrapping process, we observed some areas where the vinyl film had minor wrinkles and small air bubbles. These imperfections are often caused by improper stretching or lack of air release during application, which can lead to an unprofessional finish.
Solution: We removed the affected areas of the vinyl wrap and re-applied them using advanced techniques and tools. By carefully using heat guns and squeegees, we ensured that the film adhered smoothly to the contours of the car, leaving no wrinkles or air bubbles. This process not only improved the visual quality but also ensured that the film will last longer without compromising its integrity.
Uneven Color Coverage
- Upon inspection, we noticed that some parts of the car had uneven color distribution in the wrap, making it appear patchy in certain light conditions. This issue typically arises when the film is not applied consistently across the surface.
Solution: To address this, we re-wrapped the sections with premium-quality vinyl that offers consistent and even coverage. We ensured that the film was properly aligned and carefully smoothed out to avoid any unevenness. This provided a seamless, uniform finish that enhanced the overall appearance of the Bentley.
Poor Edge Detailing
- We identified that some areas around the edges of the wrap had poorly executed cuts, which resulted in gaps or rough finishes. Proper edge detailing is crucial for a clean, factory-like finish, and these imperfections could detract from the car’s luxurious look.
Solution: We re-cut and re-finished the edges of the wrap with precision tools, ensuring clean, sharp lines. Our team used advanced cutting techniques to ensure the vinyl was tucked in neatly around curves, seams, and edges, providing a sharp, clean look that complements the vehicle’s design.
Improper Fitment Around Curved Surfaces
- The wrap initially did not fit well around the vehicle’s more complex, curved areas, such as the wheel arches and door handles. Inadequate wrapping around these areas could cause lifting and wear over time.
Solution: Our expert technicians used customized techniques and precision heat control to ensure that the vinyl film wrapped perfectly around all curves and contours. We paid special attention to these areas to ensure a tight, durable fit, which also contributes to the overall longevity of the wrap.
Film Lifting Over Time
- We found that some sections of the wrap were beginning to lift at the edges, an issue that can occur due to improper bonding during the initial application. This can lead to peeling and the formation of bubbles in the long run.
Solution: To prevent further lifting, we re-applied those sections of the wrap, paying special attention to the adhesion process. Our team used high-quality adhesive vinyl and ensured that every edge was properly sealed. We also applied a bonding solution to reinforce the adhesion, ensuring long-term durability and no lifting.
