At Kartal Auto, we recently had the privilege of applying ceramic coating to the stunning Rolls Royce Phantom II in Dubai. The Phantom II, renowned for its timeless elegance and exquisite craftsmanship, deserved nothing less than the most advanced protection for its flawless exterior. Our team of experts identified several challenges related to paint protection and implemented the perfect solution to ensure the vehicle’s exterior remains as pristine as the day it left the factory. Here’s a look at the top 5 issues we addressed and the bespoke solutions we provided during the ceramic coating process:
Issue Found:
1. Unprotected Paintwork Subject to Environmental Damage
- Issue: The Phantom II’s paintwork was vulnerable to common environmental contaminants, such as UV rays, water spots, bird droppings, tree sap, and road salts, all of which can gradually degrade the finish over time.
- Solution: We applied a high-quality ceramic coating to create a strong, hydrophobic barrier on the vehicle’s paint. This protective layer deflects harmful contaminants and prevents water from bonding to the surface, ensuring that the paint stays cleaner for longer and is protected from fading, oxidation, and scratches caused by environmental elements.
2. Swirl Marks and Minor Scratches in the Paint
- Issue: The exterior had accumulated minor swirl marks and light scratches from improper washing and general wear over time, affecting the paint’s smoothness and shine.
- Solution: Before applying the ceramic coating, we conducted a multi-stage paint correction to remove swirl marks, fine scratches, and imperfections, restoring the paint to its original brilliance. The ceramic coating was then applied to enhance the depth and clarity of the paintwork, providing a glossy, mirror-like finish that highlighted the car’s true elegance.
3. Difficulty in Maintaining the Gloss and Shine
- Issue: Despite regular cleaning, the gloss and shine of the exterior would gradually diminish over time due to exposure to dirt, water, and other contaminants.
- Solution: The ceramic coating creates a durable layer that not only adds a high-gloss finish to the vehicle but also makes it significantly easier to maintain. The hydrophobic properties of the coating ensure that water, dirt, and grime bead off the surface, requiring less frequent cleaning and making the car’s exterior always appear freshly detailed with minimal effort.
4. Lack of Protection for Wheels and Brake Calipers
- Issue: The wheels and brake calipers of the Phantom II were susceptible to brake dust, dirt, and road grime, which can cause discoloration and wear over time.
- Solution: In addition to applying ceramic coating to the paintwork, we extended the coating to the wheels and brake calipers, providing them with a layer of protection against brake dust and contaminants. The coating ensures that dirt does not adhere to these areas, making them easier to clean and preventing damage caused by harsh environmental elements.
5. Vulnerability to Acidic Contaminants and Water Spots
- Issue: Acidic contaminants, such as bird droppings and tree sap, as well as hard water spots, can cause permanent damage to the paint if left untreated, leading to discoloration or etching.
- Solution: The ceramic coating serves as a protective shield against acidic contaminants, preventing them from etching into the surface. Additionally, the hydrophobic properties of the coating help to reduce the appearance of water spots, ensuring that the car remains spotless after every wash and repelling contaminants before they can cause damage.
