At Kartal Auto, we specialize in providing top-tier protection and enhancement services for luxury vehicles, ensuring that they not only perform at their best but also maintain their aesthetic appeal for years to come. Recently, we completed a Ceramic Coating application for the iconic Lamborghini Jarama. During the preparation and application process, we identified several issues that required attention to achieve a flawless finish. Here, we’ll outline the problems we encountered and the customized solutions we implemented to ensure the car received the best protection possible.
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Surface Contaminants and Imperfections:
- Problem: Prior to applying the ceramic coating, the Lamborghini Jarama’s paint had a number of contaminants such as dirt, tar, and overspray, which could have hindered the bonding of the coating and impacted the final result. There were also some light scratches and swirl marks visible on the surface.
- Solution: Our team performed a thorough clay bar treatment to remove all contaminants from the surface. This process ensures that the paint is completely clean and smooth, creating the ideal surface for the ceramic coating to bond to. Following this, we conducted a paint correction treatment to eliminate swirl marks and light scratches, restoring the paint’s flawless finish before applying the ceramic protection.
- Faded and Oxidized Paint:
- Problem: The paint on the Lamborghini Jarama had some signs of oxidation, which had caused the surface to look dull and lack its usual depth and gloss. This could affect the longevity and effectiveness of the ceramic coating.
- Solution: We used advanced paint correction techniques to remove the oxidized layers, restoring the paint’s rich color and shine. By removing the oxidation, we not only improved the car’s appearance but also ensured that the ceramic coating would bond better and provide optimal protection.
- Lack of Paint Protection:
- Problem: While the Lamborghini Jarama’s exterior was in good shape, it lacked adequate protection from environmental factors such as UV rays, bird droppings, water spots, and road salts. This left the paint vulnerable to damage and premature aging.
- Solution: After correcting the paintwork, we applied high-performance ceramic coating, which acts as a protective layer that repels water, contaminants, and UV rays. The ceramic coating forms a hydrophobic surface, making it easier to wash and maintain the vehicle while preventing water spots and staining. The coating also provides long-lasting protection, ensuring that the paint remains vibrant and resistant to fading over time.
- Minor Paint Chips and Surface Imperfections:
- Problem: We noticed a few small chips and surface imperfections in the paint, especially around the edges and lower body areas, which could compromise the finish once the ceramic coating was applied.
- Solution: We carefully touched up the paint using custom-matched color and ensured the chips were properly filled and smoothed out before applying the coating. This attention to detail allowed us to maintain the overall aesthetics of the Lamborghini Jarama, ensuring that all areas were even and smooth before the final layer of protection was applied.
- Unprotected Wheels and Brake Calipers:
- Problem: The wheels and brake calipers were exposed to brake dust, road grime, and heat, which can cause staining and deterioration over time. The lack of protection could lead to quicker buildup and harder cleaning.
- Solution: To ensure full protection, we applied a ceramic coating to the wheels and brake calipers as well. The coating not only makes cleaning easier but also protects the wheels from heat-related damage and corrosion. The added protection helps prevent the buildup of brake dust, keeping the wheels looking pristine for longer.
