We are excited to announce the successful completion of a ceramic coating application on a Maserati Coupe at Kartal Auto in Dubai. Our team of experienced professionals meticulously applied the high-performance coating to ensure superior protection for the car’s paint and finish. However, during the process, we encountered a few issues that were promptly addressed to ensure the optimal results our customers expect.
Here’s a summary of the issues we found during the ceramic coating job and the solutions we implemented to resolve them:
Issue Found:
1. Light Swirl Marks on the Paint
Issue: During the preparation stage, we discovered light swirl marks on the Maserati Coupe’s paintwork. These swirl marks are often caused by improper washing or drying techniques and can detract from the car’s smooth, glossy finish.
Solution: Our team carefully performed a paint correction process to remove these imperfections. Using a dual-action polisher and a series of progressively finer polishing compounds, we were able to eliminate the swirl marks. This ensured that the surface was flawless before applying the ceramic coating.
2. Water Spots and Contaminants
Issue: Upon inspecting the vehicle, we noticed water spots and other surface contaminants embedded in the paint. Water spots can form when water droplets dry on the surface, leaving mineral deposits that can be difficult to remove.
Solution: We performed an intensive decontamination wash, using a clay bar treatment to safely remove these particles from the surface. This allowed us to achieve a clean and smooth surface, which is essential for the proper bonding of the ceramic coating to the paint.
3. Uneven Coating Application
Issue: During the application of the ceramic coating, we observed uneven coverage in certain areas, which can happen due to environmental factors or improper application techniques.
Solution: To correct this, we immediately went over the affected areas with a second layer of coating, ensuring complete and even coverage across the entire surface. We used professional-grade applicators and precise techniques to guarantee a flawless finish.
4. Water Resistance Issues After Initial Application
Issue: Initially, the vehicle exhibited less-than-ideal water resistance shortly after the ceramic coating was applied. This issue can occasionally arise if the coating has not fully cured.
Solution: We carefully monitored the curing process in a controlled environment, allowing the coating to cure for the recommended time frame before any water exposure. Once fully cured, the coating’s hydrophobic properties kicked in, providing the Maserati Coupe with its signature water-repellent finish.
5. Areas of Over-Spray
Issue: In some isolated spots, we noticed slight over-spray of the ceramic coating, which can occur if the coating isn’t applied with the utmost precision.
Solution: To address this, we used a specialized polishing compound to gently buff away any over-spray, ensuring that the entire surface remained smooth and flawless. The final result was a consistent, high-gloss finish with no visible over-spray marks.
