At Kartal Auto, we specialize in delivering world-class detailing and restoration services for luxury vehicles, and our recent work on the Bentley EXP 10 Speed is no exception. During the detailed inspection and restoration process, we discovered several issues affecting the car’s appearance. Below is a breakdown of the issues we found and the expert solutions we provided to ensure the vehicle’s finish was flawless and its luxury aesthetic fully restored.
Issues Identified:
- Paint Swirls and Minor Scratches
- Problem: The vehicle’s paint had noticeable swirl marks and light scratches, often caused by improper washing techniques, dust, or even environmental factors. These imperfections were visible under direct light and detracted from the car’s high-end finish.
- Solution: To restore the vehicle’s pristine appearance, we performed a multi-stage paint correction process. Using advanced polishers and high-quality compounds, we carefully buffed out the swirl marks and scratches, leaving the paint with a smooth and glossy finish. This process revived the original luster of the car’s paint, giving it a flawless shine.
- Oxidized and Faded Paintwork
- Problem: The paint had begun to show signs of oxidation and fading, especially on certain panels that had been exposed to the sun for extended periods. This affected the overall depth and richness of the color.
- Solution: We used oxidation removal compounds to break down and lift the oxidized layer of paint. After this treatment, we applied a polishing compound to restore the depth and vibrancy of the color. The result was a stunning, rich finish that brought back the original gloss and shine of the Bentley’s paint.
- Water Spots and Mineral Deposits
- Problem: The vehicle had developed stubborn water spots and mineral deposits, particularly around the windows and body panels, caused by exposure to hard water or rain. If left untreated, these deposits could damage the paintwork.
- Solution: We used a specialized water spot removal solution to dissolve the mineral deposits without harming the paint. After the spots were removed, the entire vehicle underwent a clay bar treatment to ensure the surface was smooth and free of contaminants, resulting in a pristine finish.
- Visible Contaminants Embedded in the Paint
- Problem: The car’s surface was covered with embedded contaminants, such as industrial fallout, tree sap, and environmental debris, that could not be removed with traditional washing methods. These contaminants cause imperfections and reduce the paint’s overall gloss.
- Solution: We performed a clay bar decontamination process, which safely removed these contaminants without damaging the paint. This step smoothed out the surface and prepared the paint for the next phase of detailing, ensuring a flawless finish ready for the final protective treatments.
- Faded Trim and Plastic Components
- Problem: The exterior trim, rubber seals, and plastic components of the vehicle had faded over time due to exposure to UV rays and the elements. This affected the vehicle’s overall aesthetic, making it look less refined.
- Solution: We used a specialized plastic and trim restoration product to restore the color and luster of these components. Our team carefully applied the product to rejuvenate the trim, bringing back its original black finish and ensuring that the car’s exterior looked sharp and polished.
