At Kartal Auto, we had the privilege of applying Ceramic Coating to the iconic Rolls Royce Phantom III in Dubai, ensuring the vehicle not only maintained its breathtaking appearance but also gained superior protection against the elements. The Phantom III is a true symbol of automotive luxury, and we took every measure to enhance its exterior with this state-of-the-art treatment. Here’s a closer look at the challenges we encountered during the Ceramic Coating process and the bespoke solutions we provided to keep this classic car shining like new.
Issue Found:
1. Lack of Long-Term Protection Against Contaminants
- Issue: The Phantom III’s exterior lacked the long-term protection against environmental contaminants like dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and water spots, which could damage the paintwork over time.
- Solution: We applied a high-quality ceramic coating to the entire exterior of the vehicle. This coating creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants, making it easier to clean and maintain the vehicle. The ceramic layer forms a protective barrier that prevents harsh contaminants from bonding with the paint, ensuring that the car’s surface remains spotless and protected against environmental damage.
2. Faded Paint and Lack of Gloss
- Issue: The paint on the Phantom III had started to fade slightly, losing some of its vibrant gloss and depth. The lack of a protective layer also left the paint susceptible to oxidation and fading under the harsh Dubai sun.
- Solution: Before applying the ceramic coating, we performed a multi-stage paint correction to remove any oxidation, swirl marks, or imperfections. Once the paint was restored to its original shine, we applied a ceramic coating to lock in that deep gloss and provide long-lasting protection. The ceramic layer enhanced the color depth and gave the vehicle a reflective, glossy finish that improves the car’s overall aesthetic, ensuring it stands out on the road.
3. Vulnerability to Scratches and Swirl Marks
- Issue: The vehicle’s paintwork was prone to scratches, swirl marks, and minor abrasions caused by washing, driving, and exposure to the elements. These imperfections compromised the car’s pristine appearance.
- Solution: The ceramic coating we applied provides a scratch-resistant layer that helps reduce the appearance of swirl marks and micro-scratches. By increasing the hardness of the paint’s surface, the coating makes it more difficult for abrasions and contaminants to cause damage, keeping the Phantom III looking flawless for much longer.
4. Lack of Easy Maintenance
- Issue: The Phantom III’s original exterior finish required frequent washing and polishing to maintain its clean, shiny look. This maintenance was time-consuming and didn’t always yield the best results.
- Solution: The ceramic coating dramatically reduced the need for constant maintenance. Thanks to its self-cleaning properties and hydrophobic surface, water beads up and slides off the vehicle, taking dirt and grime with it. This makes washing the car easier and quicker, as the coating prevents contaminants from bonding to the surface. The vehicle remains cleaner for longer periods, reducing the effort required for upkeep.
5. Exposure to Harsh Weather Conditions
- Issue: Given the extreme weather conditions in Dubai, including intense heat, sand, and UV rays, the paintwork of the Phantom III was vulnerable to premature aging and fading.
- Solution: We applied a UV-protective ceramic coating, which acts as a shield against harmful UV rays. This layer prevents the sun’s harsh rays from oxidizing the paint, which can cause fading and dullness over time. The coating ensures that the car retains its vibrant color, even under the intense Dubai sun, maintaining its luxurious appeal for years to come.
