At Kartal Auto, we recently had the honor of applying a ceramic coating to a stunning Rolls Royce Silver Wraith, a vehicle known for its unparalleled elegance and craftsmanship. The Silver Wraith, with its rich history and classic design, required protection that would not only preserve its original beauty but also enhance its durability for years to come. Our team applied the best-in-class ceramic coating, ensuring that this magnificent vehicle was shielded against the elements while maintaining its pristine finish. Below, we outline the challenges we faced and the expert solutions we provided during the ceramic coating process.
Issue Found:
1. Surface Contamination and Preparation
- Issue: Before applying the ceramic coating, the Silver Wraith’s exterior was affected by surface contaminants such as tar, tree sap, road grime, and swirl marks that would interfere with the coating’s adhesion and effectiveness.
- Solution: We meticulously prepped the surface by first performing a two-bucket hand wash to remove all dirt and grime. We then used a clay bar treatment to eliminate stubborn contaminants embedded in the paint. After ensuring the surface was completely clean and smooth, we conducted a paint correction to remove any swirl marks, light scratches, or imperfections, ensuring the paint was flawless and ready for the coating application. This careful preparation ensured the ceramic coating would bond properly and provide maximum protection.
2. Long-Lasting Protection from the Elements
- Issue: The Rolls Royce Silver Wraith was exposed to harsh weather conditions, including rain, dust, UV rays, and pollutants, which could damage its paint and overall appearance over time.
- Solution: We applied a high-quality, multi-layer ceramic coating that forms a hydrophobic surface, protecting the vehicle’s exterior from the elements. This coating repels water, preventing water spots and minimizing dirt build-up, while also creating a strong protective barrier against UV rays, acid rain, and pollutants. The result is a durable finish that enhances the vehicle’s gloss and makes it easier to clean, ensuring long-lasting protection for the Silver Wraith.
3. Preservation of Paint and Gloss
- Issue: Over time, the paint on luxury vehicles like the Silver Wraith can become dull and lose its deep gloss due to exposure to the sun and other environmental factors.
- Solution: The ceramic coating provided a gloss-enhancing layer that restored the vehicle’s rich, deep shine, bringing out the full depth and color of the paint. The hydrophobic properties of the coating also prevent water and contaminants from sticking to the surface, ensuring that the car maintains its stunning gloss without the need for frequent waxing. This layer not only enhances the car’s appearance but also makes it easier to maintain, keeping the Silver Wraith looking like new.
4. Protection Against Scratches and Minor Imperfections
- Issue: The exterior of the Rolls Royce Silver Wraith was susceptible to minor scratches and swirl marks from everyday use, car washes, and exposure to harsh conditions.
- Solution: The ceramic coating creates an additional protective layer that acts as a barrier against light scratches and swirl marks. While it doesn’t make the car entirely scratch-proof, it significantly reduces the likelihood of imperfections, helping to maintain the vehicle’s pristine condition. This extra layer of protection helps preserve the vehicle’s beauty and integrity, reducing the frequency of detailing required to keep it looking fresh.
5. Enhanced Maintenance and Easier Cleaning
- Issue: Maintaining the Silver Wraith’s pristine appearance required constant attention and care, as dirt, water spots, and contaminants tended to cling to the surface, making cleaning difficult.
- Solution: After applying the ceramic coating, the vehicle became significantly easier to clean. The hydrophobic nature of the coating repels water and contaminants, causing them to bead and slide off the surface, leaving less residue behind. This makes regular maintenance much easier, reducing the need for frequent washes and keeping the Silver Wraith looking immaculate for longer periods. The coating also ensures that when dirt or water does accumulate, it can be wiped off effortlessly, saving time and effort in maintaining the vehicle.
