At Kartal Auto, we recently completed a Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation on a stunning Maserati Ghibli in Dubai. Our goal was to protect the vehicle’s paint from scratches, chips, and environmental damage while maintaining its luxurious appearance. During the installation, we identified several issues that required immediate attention to ensure a flawless result. Below is a breakdown of the challenges we encountered and the solutions we implemented:
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Uneven Film Alignment
- Problem: Some areas of the PPF were misaligned, particularly along the vehicle’s curves and edges, leading to visible seams and overlaps.
- Solution: We carefully removed the misaligned sections and re-applied the PPF with precision. Our team used advanced tools to ensure perfect alignment along all curves and edges, ensuring a seamless, professional finish.
2. Issue: Air Bubbles Under the Film
- Problem: Small air bubbles had formed under the PPF in a few areas, compromising the appearance and potentially affecting the film’s longevity.
- Solution: Using specialized tools, we meticulously removed the air pockets and re-applied the film. By applying heat and pressure, we ensured the film adhered properly to the surface, leaving it bubble-free and smooth.
3. Issue: Contaminants Under the Film
- Problem: Tiny dust particles and debris were trapped between the vehicle’s paint and the PPF, which could lead to imperfections and hinder proper adhesion.
- Solution: We carefully removed the affected sections, thoroughly cleaned the vehicle’s surface, and re-applied the PPF in a dust-free environment. This ensured no contaminants remained under the film, providing a smooth and flawless finish.
4. Issue: Poor Edge Sealing
- Problem: The edges of the PPF were not sealed properly, which could have resulted in the film peeling or lifting over time.
- Solution: We re-sealed the edges of the PPF, ensuring they adhered securely to the surface of the vehicle. Our team used high-precision techniques to ensure that no edges were left exposed, allowing the PPF to remain intact for long-lasting protection.
5. Issue: Inconsistent Gloss Finish
- Problem: The gloss level of the PPF was inconsistent in certain areas, which affected the overall appearance of the vehicle’s finish.
- Solution: We performed a post-installation polish on the affected areas to restore a consistent, high-gloss finish. By carefully buffing and smoothing the surface, we ensured that the PPF provided a flawless, shiny finish across the entire vehicle.
