At Kartal Auto, we are passionate about restoring and enhancing the appearance of luxury vehicles, ensuring that every inch of the car reflects the quality and elegance it deserves. Recently, we had the privilege of completing a full detailing job on a classic Lamborghini Urraco, one of the most iconic Italian supercars. During the detailing process, we identified several areas that required attention to restore the vehicle to its original showroom condition. Here’s a look at the issues we encountered and the solutions we implemented to give the Lamborghini Urraco a fresh, stunning finish.
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Faded and Oxidized Paintwork:
- Problem: The Urraco’s paint had suffered from years of exposure to the elements, leading to significant fading and oxidation. The surface appeared dull, with patches of discoloration that detracted from the car’s overall aesthetic.
- Solution: To restore the paintwork, we first performed a thorough wash and decontamination to remove any dirt, tar, and pollutants. After that, we used paint correction techniques, including polishing and machine buffing, to eliminate oxidation and restore the depth of color. Finally, we applied a high-quality wax to protect the surface and give it a glossy, like-new shine.
- Dull and Streaky Glass Surfaces:
- Problem: The glass on the Lamborghini Urraco was marked by streaks, water spots, and film buildup, which affected visibility and gave the windows a cloudy appearance.
- Solution: We treated the glass surfaces with specialized glass cleaners that removed water spots, dirt, and stubborn film. We also applied a glass polish to restore clarity and eliminate any hazing or streaking. To provide long-term protection, we applied a hydrophobic treatment to the glass, which repels water and keeps the surfaces clean and clear even in wet conditions.
- Tarnished Chrome and Trim:
- Problem: The Urraco’s chrome accents, including door handles, window surrounds, and badges, showed signs of tarnishing, corrosion, and discoloration, diminishing the vehicle’s polished, luxurious appearance.
- Solution: We used a chrome polish to carefully restore the shine and luster of all chrome components. In areas where corrosion had set in, we employed a gentle abrasive process to remove rust and tarnish without damaging the surface. After cleaning and restoring the chrome, we applied a protective layer to prevent future oxidation and ensure the chrome elements maintained their gleam.
- Stubborn Interior Stains and Dirt:
- Problem: The Lamborghini Urraco’s interior, while elegant, had accumulated stains and dirt over the years, particularly on the seats, carpets, and trim. This was most noticeable on the leather upholstery, which had suffered from minor spills and everyday wear.
- Solution: We performed a deep interior cleaning, using leather-safe cleaning agents to gently lift stains and dirt from the upholstery without damaging the material. For the carpets and floor mats, we used steam cleaning to remove embedded dirt and stains. Once the interior was cleaned, we applied a conditioner to the leather seats to restore their softness and protect them from future wear.
- Unwanted Odors and Musty Smell:
- Problem: The interior of the Urraco had developed a musty or unpleasant odor due to years of use, combined with the natural aging of materials like leather and fabric.
- Solution: Our team used a professional ozone treatment to eliminate any lingering odors inside the cabin. This process neutralizes bacteria, mold, and other sources of bad smells, leaving the interior fresh and clean. We also treated the cabin with a high-quality air purifier to ensure a pleasant fragrance throughout the vehicle.
