At Kartal Auto, we are committed to providing the highest quality protection services for your luxury vehicle. We recently had the pleasure of completing a Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation on a stunning Lamborghini Jarama. During the application process, our team discovered several issues that needed to be addressed to ensure the PPF provided the maximum protection and a flawless finish. Here’s a look at the challenges we encountered and the expert solutions we implemented to ensure the Lamborghini received the best care possible.
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Pre-existing Paint Scratches and Swirl Marks:
- Problem: Before applying the PPF, we found several light scratches and swirl marks on the Lamborghini Jarama’s paint. These imperfections could have been trapped under the PPF, resulting in a less-than-perfect finish and affecting the overall appearance of the vehicle.
- Solution: Our team performed paint correction to remove the scratches and swirl marks, restoring the paint to its original, flawless condition. This step ensured that the PPF adhered to a perfectly smooth surface, providing the vehicle with optimal protection and a sleek, glossy finish.
- Minor Paint Chips and Imperfections:
- Problem: Upon close inspection, we noticed several small paint chips and imperfections on the front end of the vehicle, which are common on high-performance cars. These issues could have worsened with time if not properly addressed before applying the PPF.
- Solution: We carefully touched up the affected areas using custom-matched paint, ensuring that all chips and imperfections were sealed and smoothed over. This step guaranteed that the PPF would create an even, consistent surface that perfectly matched the rest of the vehicle’s finish.
- Inconsistent Surface Contamination:
- Problem: The vehicle’s surface had light contamination from road grime, dust, and other particles that could affect the PPF installation. If not removed properly, these contaminants could cause imperfections in the film’s finish or create air bubbles and trapped debris.
- Solution: We performed a thorough clay bar treatment to eliminate any contaminants from the surface, ensuring the paint was completely clean and smooth before applying the PPF. This cleaning process helps create an ideal surface for the PPF to bond to, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting application.
- Improper Previous Paint Protection:
- Problem: The Lamborghini Jarama previously had an older, less effective form of paint protection that had started to wear off, leaving parts of the surface vulnerable to new damage. Some sections had visible signs of fading or dullness.
- Solution: We carefully removed the old protective film and polished the affected areas to restore their shine. By eliminating the old protection and bringing the paint back to life, we ensured that the new PPF would perform to its fullest potential, providing superior protection without compromising the vehicle’s appearance.
- Exposure to Environmental Factors (UV & Oxidation):
- Problem: The paint had been exposed to prolonged UV rays and environmental elements, causing some areas to look slightly faded or dull, especially around high-exposure zones such as the hood and fenders.
- Solution: We applied paint correction to restore the original gloss and remove any oxidation from the surface. The PPF installation also helps protect the car from future UV damage, preventing fading and oxidation, keeping the paint looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.
