At Kartal Auto, we specialize in providing advanced paint protection film (PPF) services to luxury vehicles, ensuring that they remain pristine and protected against the elements. Recently, we had the opportunity to complete a PPF installation on a Lamborghini LM002 in Dubai. During this job, our team identified several issues that needed attention. Here’s a breakdown of the issues we discovered and the solutions we applied to enhance the protection and appearance of this iconic vehicle.
Identified Issues & Solutions
- Existing Scratches and Minor Paint Imperfections
- Issue: The Lamborghini LM002 had minor scratches and imperfections on the paint surface, which could be amplified by the application of PPF.
- Solution: Before applying the PPF, we performed a thorough paint correction process to eliminate the scratches and imperfections. This ensured a smooth, flawless surface for the film, providing a clean base for the PPF to adhere to and ensuring a seamless finish.
- Uneven Paint Surface
- Issue: Some areas of the paint had uneven textures due to previous wear, which could have affected the adhesion and smooth application of the PPF.
- Solution: We carefully polished and smoothed the paint surface to ensure that the PPF would adhere evenly and securely. This step not only ensured optimal protection but also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle, resulting in a flawless final look.
- Risk of PPF Installation Wrinkles
- Issue: In certain areas, particularly around the curves and edges of the body, there was a risk of the PPF film developing wrinkles, which would have detracted from the vehicle’s appearance.
- Solution: Our team used advanced, heat-assisted installation techniques to carefully stretch and apply the PPF film around curves and tight edges. This method ensured that the film adhered smoothly, without any wrinkles or creases, providing a sleek and flawless finish.
- Lack of Proper Surface Cleaning
- Issue: The vehicle’s surface had some dust, dirt, and contaminants that could interfere with the proper adhesion of the PPF, leading to bubbles or lifting over time.
- Solution: We performed a meticulous surface cleaning process before the PPF installation, using high-quality cleaning agents and tools to remove all dirt, oil, and dust. This ensured that the PPF would bond properly to the paint and provided long-lasting protection without any air pockets or imperfections.
- UV Damage to Existing Clear Coat
- Issue: The existing clear coat on the Lamborghini LM002 showed signs of UV degradation, which could potentially affect the longevity and appearance of the paint protection film.
- Solution: Before applying the PPF, we treated the vehicle’s paint with a special UV protection solution to prevent further degradation. This helped preserve the vehicle’s clear coat, ensuring that the PPF provided maximum protection from UV rays, keeping both the paint and the film in optimal condition for years to come.
