At Kartal Auto, we specialize in providing high-end detailing services for luxury vehicles, ensuring that every aspect of your car is restored to its pristine condition. Our recent detailing work on the Bentley EXP 100 GT highlighted our attention to detail and expertise in the field. During the process, we identified several issues that required expert care. Below are the issues we discovered and the solutions we implemented to ensure the Bentley looked as stunning as it should.
Issues Identified:
- Surface Contaminants & Industrial Fallout
- Problem: During the initial stages of detailing, we found that the vehicle’s paint had embedded surface contaminants, including industrial fallout, rail dust, and tree sap. These contaminants can cause scratches and dull the finish, especially when not properly removed.
- Solution: To resolve this, we performed a thorough clay bar decontamination treatment. This process safely removed the contaminants from the paint’s surface, leaving it smooth and clean. This step also prepared the vehicle’s surface for further polishing and protection, ensuring that the finish would be flawless.
- Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
- Problem: We observed swirl marks and fine scratches on the car’s exterior, particularly in high-touch areas like the doors and rear panels. These imperfections had dulled the paint and detracted from the vehicle’s glossy appearance.
- Solution: To correct this, we conducted a multi-stage paint correction. Using advanced tools and polishing compounds, our team carefully eliminated the swirl marks and fine scratches, restoring the paint to a flawless, high-gloss finish. The result was a surface that gleamed with the signature Bentley shine.
- Oxidation on Chrome Trim
- Problem: The chrome trim on the Bentley EXP 100 GT showed signs of oxidation and cloudiness. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause chrome to lose its shine, resulting in a dull, tarnished appearance.
- Solution: We performed a specialized chrome polishing treatment to remove the oxidation and restore the trim’s original luster. After polishing, we applied a protective coating to help maintain the trim’s shine and prevent future oxidation, ensuring long-lasting results.
- Tarnished or Faded Wheel Surfaces
- Problem: The wheels of the Bentley showed signs of tarnishing, with the finish becoming dull and faded. Brake dust and environmental exposure can cause wheels to lose their original shine and become more difficult to clean.
- Solution: We thoroughly cleaned the wheels using a specialized wheel cleaner, then performed a polishing and sealing treatment. This not only restored the shine to the wheels but also applied a protective layer that makes future cleaning easier and helps prevent the buildup of brake dust and contaminants.
- Interior Leather Wear and Stains
- Problem: The interior leather, particularly the seats and armrests, showed signs of wear and had some stains that were difficult to remove with regular cleaning methods. This issue is common in luxury cars where leather is exposed to frequent use.
- Solution: We performed an in-depth leather cleaning and conditioning process, which involved gently removing stains using a specialized cleaner and then conditioning the leather to restore its softness and prevent cracking. We also treated the leather with a protective layer that shields it from future stains, ensuring the interior remained luxurious and well-maintained.
