At Kartal Auto, we recently completed an advanced ceramic coating application on a Lamborghini Silhouette in Dubai. This luxury vehicle, known for its iconic style and performance, was in need of a protective layer to preserve its exterior against the harsh Dubai climate. During the application, we discovered several issues that required attention. Below are the 5 key challenges we identified and the solutions we implemented to ensure the Lamborghini Silhouette’s paintwork remains pristine and protected.
Issue Found:
1. Faded Paintwork Due to UV Damage
Issue: The Lamborghini Silhouette’s paint had faded due to prolonged exposure to the intense UV rays in Dubai, leaving it looking dull and less vibrant.
Solution: Before applying the ceramic coating, we performed a thorough paint correction process to remove any surface oxidation and restore the paint’s vibrancy. We then applied a high-quality ceramic coating, which not only restored the depth of the paint but also provided UV protection, ensuring the vehicle remains resistant to sun damage for years to come.
2. Water Spots and Stains on the Paint
Issue: The exterior had water spots and mineral stains, which had been embedded into the paint surface due to hard water exposure.
Solution: We used specialized water spot removal techniques and products to break down and remove the embedded stains. After cleaning, we applied the ceramic coating, which acts as a hydrophobic layer, making future water spots easier to clean off and preventing any new stains from settling on the paint.
3. Scratches and Swirl Marks on the Surface
Issue: The car’s paint had visible surface scratches and swirl marks, often caused by improper washing or environmental contaminants.
Solution: We conducted a paint polishing session to remove any minor imperfections, swirl marks, and scratches, leaving the surface smooth and flawless. Once the paintwork was corrected, the ceramic coating was applied, sealing the paint and providing long-term protection against further scratches and damage.
4. Environmental Contaminants on the Paint Surface
Issue: The Lamborghini Silhouette’s paint was contaminated with road tar, tree sap, and other environmental pollutants, creating a rough surface and affecting the overall shine.
Solution: We carefully performed a clay bar treatment to remove all contaminants from the paint surface. This process ensures a smooth, clean base for the ceramic coating. The contaminants were effectively removed, leaving the paint ready for a durable and protective ceramic finish.
5. Lack of Paint Protection Against Harsh Elements
Issue: The vehicle lacked a robust protective layer against harsh elements like bird droppings, tree sap, and industrial fallout, which can cause permanent damage to the paint if not treated promptly.
Solution: We applied a premium ceramic coating that forms a strong protective bond with the paint, creating a hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants. This protective layer ensures that the paint stays pristine and shielded from environmental damage, making it easier to clean and maintain.
