At Kartal Auto, we are passionate about providing exceptional detailing and restoration services for luxury vehicles, and our recent polishing work on the Bentley EXP 10 Speed is a testament to our expertise. During our meticulous inspection and polishing process, we discovered several issues that needed attention. Below, we detail the issues we identified and the solutions we implemented to restore the car’s aesthetic and preserve its luxury appearance.
Issues Identified:
- Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
- Problem: The vehicle’s paint had developed noticeable swirl marks and light scratches, likely caused by improper washing, drying, or previous polishing attempts. These imperfections were particularly visible under direct sunlight, compromising the car’s glossy finish.
- Solution: We performed a multi-stage paint correction process to carefully buff out the swirl marks and fine scratches. Using advanced tools and high-quality polishing compounds, our team restored the paint’s smoothness and shine. This process removed imperfections, leaving the surface glossy and ready for a final protective layer.
- Oxidation and Faded Paint Areas
- Problem: The paint on certain areas of the car had begun to oxidize, resulting in a dull, faded finish. This is a common issue in luxury vehicles exposed to the elements for extended periods, leading to a loss of depth and vibrancy in the paint.
- Solution: To address the oxidation, we applied a specialized oxidation removal product. This helped lift the dull, oxidized layer and restored the color’s vibrancy. After this treatment, we followed up with a gentle polish to bring back the depth and clarity of the original paint, ensuring the Bentley’s exterior had a rich, glossy finish.
- Environmental Contaminants Embedded in the Paint
- Problem: Upon closer inspection, we found that the vehicle’s paint had small contaminants such as industrial fallout, tree sap, and road grime, which had become embedded in the surface. These contaminants can negatively affect the polishing process and leave imperfections even after the initial steps.
- Solution: We used a clay bar treatment to gently remove all embedded contaminants. This step not only made the surface smoother but also prepared it for the polishing stage, allowing the polish to work more effectively and ensuring that the paint remained free of any contaminants.
- Uneven Paint Texture
- Problem: Some areas of the vehicle had an uneven texture, possibly due to prior repairs or the buildup of contaminants that had not been properly treated. This could result in a less than perfect finish after polishing.
- Solution: We performed a detailed surface leveling to smooth out any uneven patches in the paint. This process ensured that the surface was consistent across all panels, allowing for a flawless, uniform shine once the polishing was complete. The textured areas were addressed with precision, leaving behind a smooth, perfect finish.
- Dull or Cloudy Clear Coat
- Problem: The clear coat on the vehicle showed signs of dullness and cloudiness, which is a natural effect of exposure to UV rays and environmental factors over time. This issue reduced the reflective quality of the paint, affecting the overall appearance.
- Solution: To restore the clear coat, we used a specialized clear coat polish designed to remove haze and restore the glossy, reflective finish. By gently buffing the affected areas, we revived the depth and clarity of the clear coat, ensuring the paint retained its luxurious, high-gloss look.
