At Kartal Auto, we recently had the honor of performing a complete detailing service for the iconic Rolls Royce Phantom I in Dubai. As one of the most luxurious and revered vehicles in automotive history, the Phantom I required our expert touch to bring out its true elegance. Our team of specialists identified several key areas that required attention to ensure the car’s appearance and functionality were restored to perfection. Below are the top 5 issues we discovered during the detailing process and the bespoke solutions we applied:
Issue Found:
1. Dull and Oxidized Exterior Paint
- Issue: Over time, the Phantom I’s exterior paint had dulled due to oxidation, losing the vibrant luster that is characteristic of a luxury vehicle.
- Solution: We performed a paint correction process to remove oxidation and restore the rich color and depth of the paint. This was followed by applying a high-quality ceramic coating, providing long-lasting protection against environmental contaminants, water spots, and UV damage, ensuring the car’s shine would be maintained for years to come.
2. Surface Contaminants and Stubborn Stains
- Issue: The vehicle’s surface had accumulated contaminants such as tar, tree sap, and industrial fallout, which could not be removed with standard washing methods.
- Solution: Our team used a clay bar treatment to safely and effectively remove these contaminants, leaving the paintwork smooth and ready for the next steps. This step ensures that the vehicle’s surface is free from impurities, providing a perfect foundation for further detailing and protection.
3. Faded Chrome and Trim Pieces
- Issue: The chrome accents and trim pieces of the vehicle had become dull and faded, diminishing the luxurious feel of the exterior.
- Solution: We carefully restored the chrome components using specialized chrome polish, which brought back their original gleam and shine. Additionally, we applied a protective coating to ensure that the chrome would remain vibrant and resistant to tarnishing.
4. Interior Dirt and Stains
- Issue: The interior, including the seats, carpets, and door panels, showed signs of dirt build-up and stains from regular use.
- Solution: We performed an intensive interior deep cleaning, using eco-friendly cleaners and steam cleaning methods to remove dirt, stains, and odors without damaging any of the materials. Special attention was given to delicate leather surfaces, which were treated with premium conditioners to restore their softness and sheen.
5. Cloudy and Foggy Headlights
- Issue: The headlights had become cloudy and yellowed over time, reducing their clarity and effectiveness, while also affecting the car’s overall appearance.
- Solution: We conducted a headlight restoration service, carefully polishing the lenses to remove the foggy layer and restore clarity. The headlights were then sealed with a protective coating to prevent future clouding, ensuring optimal brightness and a more polished look.
