At Kartal Auto, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional paint protection film (PPF) services, especially for high-end vehicles like the Bentley Azure. Recently, we had the opportunity to apply PPF to this stunning luxury car, and throughout the process, we encountered a few challenges that required expert solutions. Here’s a breakdown of the issues we found during the Bentley Azure PPF installation and how we resolved them, ensuring that the vehicle received the highest level of protection while maintaining its pristine appearance.

Issue Found:

1. Issue: Complex Curves and Edges

The Bentley Azure features a complex design with intricate curves, tight edges, and subtle body contours, which can make PPF installation challenging. Some areas of the car, especially around the side skirts and rear bumpers, were particularly difficult to wrap seamlessly without visible edges or wrinkles.

Solution: Expert Installation with Precision Trimming

Our skilled technicians have extensive experience working on luxury vehicles with complex body designs. We used state-of-the-art tools and techniques, such as precision laser-cutting and custom trimming, to ensure that the PPF adhered smoothly to all curved surfaces. Our team worked meticulously to ensure that every edge was perfectly aligned and free from visible seams or bubbles, providing an invisible, seamless protection.

2. Issue: Potential Paint Damage During PPF Removal

In some cases, when removing old PPF or other protective coatings, there’s a risk of damaging the original paint, especially on a luxury car like the Bentley Azure. The adhesive backing can leave residue or even peel off paint if not properly handled.

Solution: Careful Surface Preparation and PPF Removal

Before applying the new PPF, we carefully assessed the car’s paintwork to ensure there were no existing issues that could be exacerbated by removal. When it came time to remove the old film, we used gentle heat application and special tools to safely lift the film without harming the paint. Our team ensured that no adhesive residue remained on the vehicle’s surface, guaranteeing a smooth and safe foundation for the new protective film.

3. Issue: Issues with Film Adhesion in Certain Areas

Despite using premium PPF, some areas on the Bentley Azure experienced issues with film adhesion, especially on surfaces near door handles, body panels, and around intricate trim lines. This could result in the film lifting over time if not addressed immediately.

Solution: Advanced Adhesion Techniques

To solve this, we applied a specialized primer to ensure better adhesion in problem areas. We also used a technique called “wet application,” where a solution is used to help position the PPF before the final application of heat and pressure. This technique allows for better bonding, especially around difficult curves and edges, ensuring the film stays securely in place for the long term.

4. Issue: Bubbles and Creases After Installation

Bubbles or creases can sometimes appear immediately after the film is applied, particularly in tight corners or intricate details. These can be caused by air pockets or imperfections in the film itself.

Solution: Post-Installation Inspection and Reworking

At Kartal Auto, we understand the importance of a flawless finish. After installation, our team conducted a detailed post-installation inspection to identify any minor issues such as bubbles or creases. Using professional tools and techniques, we were able to carefully work out these imperfections. Any affected areas were re-wrapped or adjusted to restore a perfectly smooth, bubble-free surface.

5. Issue: Color Mismatch Between PPF and Factory Paint

One challenge we encountered was ensuring that the PPF matched the vehicle’s factory paint color perfectly. Bentley Azure has a distinctive, luxurious finish, and a slight mismatch in the gloss level or shade could have compromised its appearance.

Solution: Custom Film Selection and Gloss Matching

To maintain the luxurious finish of the Bentley Azure, we selected a PPF that matched the vehicle’s original paint color and gloss level. We used only the highest quality, clear films that are specifically designed to mimic the factory finish, ensuring the vehicle’s aesthetic remained intact. Our team was diligent about ensuring the film’s finish complemented the car’s shine, so the protective layer was virtually invisible while providing the best protection possible.
