At Kartal Auto, we are committed to delivering exceptional detailing services that enhance the beauty and performance of luxury vehicles. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a Rolls Royce Corniche in Dubai, where our team carried out an extensive detailing job to restore the vehicle’s iconic beauty. During the process, we identified several key issues that required attention to ensure the car looked and felt as luxurious as when it first rolled off the production line. Here’s a breakdown of the problems we encountered and the solutions we implemented to restore this classic to its original glory.
Key Issues Identified During the Rolls Royce Corniche Detailing:
1. Heavily Oxidized Paintwork
- Issue: The Rolls Royce Corniche’s paintwork had been exposed to the harsh Dubai climate for years, leading to oxidation and a loss of shine. This dull appearance compromised the car’s luxurious look and reflected poor overall upkeep.
- Solution: Our team performed a multi-stage paint correction process, which included cutting, polishing, and refining the paint to remove the oxidation and bring back its original depth and gloss. After restoring the paintwork, we applied a high-quality paint protection coating to shield the car from future environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting shine and protection.
2. Swirl Marks and Scratches on the Exterior
- Issue: The vehicle’s exterior was covered with swirl marks and scratches, likely from improper washing or handling, which made the paint finish look uneven and less pristine.
- Solution: We used advanced techniques, including a two-step polishing process, to remove swirl marks and surface scratches. Our technicians skillfully worked to refine the paint, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish that restored the Rolls Royce Corniche’s signature elegance.
3. Water Spots and Stains on the Glass
- Issue: The windows and windshields had water spots and stains caused by the exposure to hard water and environmental contaminants. This reduced visibility and affected the overall look of the vehicle.
- Solution: We performed a deep cleaning of all the glass surfaces, using a specialized water spot remover and polishes to restore crystal-clear clarity. To prevent future stains, we applied a glass sealant, which repels water and makes it easier to clean.
4. Faded and Discolored Chrome Trim
- Issue: The chrome trim and accents on the vehicle were showing signs of fading, discoloration, and minor oxidation due to exposure to the sun and environmental factors in Dubai.
- Solution: We meticulously restored the chrome surfaces using a specialized chrome polish that removed oxidation and returned the pieces to their original shine. For added protection, we applied a protective sealant to maintain the trim’s pristine appearance.
5. Interior Stains and Dirt Build-Up
- Issue: The interior leather seats and carpets had accumulated dirt and stains over time, and the leather had begun to show signs of wear, losing its original smoothness and suppleness.
- Solution: We began by thoroughly cleaning the interior upholstery, using professional-grade leather cleaners to safely remove dirt, stains, and oils. We then conditioned the leather to restore its softness and prevent future cracking. For the carpets, we used a deep steam cleaning method to remove any dirt and odors, followed by a fabric protectant to keep the carpets cleaner for longer.
