At Kartal Auto, we specialize in protecting the integrity and appearance of luxury vehicles. Recently, we completed a comprehensive Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation on a Lamborghini Diablo in Dubai. During the process, our team discovered several issues that required attention to ensure the PPF provided optimal protection and aesthetic appeal. Below are the key issues we found and the solutions we implemented to deliver outstanding results.
Identified Issues & Solutions
- Pre-existing Paint Imperfections
- Issue: The Lamborghini Diablo’s paint had minor imperfections, such as swirl marks and small scratches, which could be visible under the PPF, affecting the overall finish.
- Solution: Before applying the PPF, we performed a detailed paint correction process. This included polishing and buffing the surface to eliminate swirl marks and scratches, ensuring that the paint underneath the film was smooth and flawless. This step provided a perfect surface for the PPF, ensuring it enhanced the car’s appearance rather than highlighting imperfections.
- Improper Film Application on Curved Surfaces
- Issue: The Lamborghini Diablo’s highly curved and contoured body caused issues with applying the PPF evenly, leading to potential lifting or air bubbles along the edges.
- Solution: We used advanced PPF installation techniques and precision cutting tools to ensure the film was expertly applied to the curved surfaces. By using the latest technology, we minimized wrinkles and air pockets, resulting in a seamless, smooth finish even on the most complex parts of the vehicle.
- Vulnerability to UV Damage
- Issue: The Lamborghini Diablo’s exposed paint was vulnerable to UV damage, leading to fading and discoloration over time, even before the PPF application.
- Solution: We selected a high-quality PPF with built-in UV protection, which not only preserved the integrity of the vehicle’s paint but also protected it from sun exposure. The PPF film prevents UV rays from causing premature fading, keeping the Lamborghini Diablo’s paint vibrant and protected.
- Dirt and Debris Under the Film
- Issue: There were concerns about potential dirt or debris being trapped underneath the PPF during installation, which could affect the film’s adhesion and appearance.
- Solution: Our team thoroughly cleaned the vehicle’s surface before applying the PPF to ensure it was free from any contaminants. This meticulous cleaning process guaranteed that the PPF adhered perfectly without any dirt or debris underneath, resulting in a flawless finish and optimal protection.
- Edges of the Film Lifting Over Time
- Issue: On some previous installations, the edges of the PPF had started to lift over time, creating an unsightly appearance and diminishing the protective effect.
- Solution: To address this, we carefully sealed the edges of the PPF with precision and used heat application to ensure they adhered tightly. Additionally, we applied a layer of protective coating over the film to keep the edges secure and prevent lifting, ensuring long-term durability and protection for the Lamborghini Diablo.
