At Kartal Auto, we specialize in providing high-quality window tinting services for luxury vehicles, and our recent tinting job on a Maserati Gran Cabrio in Dubai was no exception. During the tinting process, we identified several issues with the car’s windows and surrounding areas that needed attention to ensure the tint would be applied flawlessly. Below, we outline the issues we discovered and the solutions we implemented to deliver the best results for the Maserati Gran Cabrio.
Issues Found:
- Existing Film Damage and Adhesive Residue Upon inspection, we found that the Maserati Gran Cabrio had remnants of old window tint film, which was damaged and had adhesive residue stuck to the glass. This not only interfered with the new tinting but could also cause bubbles and uneven application, affecting the final look and function.
Solution:
Our team carefully removed the old tint film and thoroughly cleaned the windows, ensuring all adhesive residue was fully eliminated. This was done with special tools and cleaning solutions that safely removed any remaining film and adhesive without damaging the glass. Once the windows were completely clean, we proceeded with the application of the new tint, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish. - Contaminants on the Glass Surface We noticed various contaminants on the glass, including dust, dirt, and oil marks. These contaminants, if left untreated, could get trapped under the tint, causing imperfections such as bubbles and streaks.
Solution:
We performed a meticulous cleaning process using specialized glass cleaners and a microfiber cloth to remove all dirt, oil, and dust. Additionally, we used a clay bar treatment to ensure the surface was perfectly smooth and free of any embedded contaminants. By ensuring the glass was spotless, we were able to guarantee that the tint adhered properly without any imperfections or bubbles. - Uneven Tinting on Previous Installations During the inspection, it became apparent that the car’s previous tinting job had some uneven application, especially on the rear and side windows. The old tint had gaps or areas where the film wasn’t applied consistently, leading to uneven shading and aesthetic issues.
Solution:
After carefully removing the old film, we applied the new tint with precise attention to detail. We ensured that the film was evenly applied across all windows, making sure the tint was consistent in shade and coverage. The final result was a uniform and sleek appearance, enhancing both the car’s aesthetics and privacy. - UV Damage to Window Seals We found signs of UV damage to the window seals, particularly around the edges of the rear windows. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause rubber seals to degrade, which can lead to leaks or uneven fitting of the tint film.
Solution:
We inspected and cleaned the window seals to prevent any issues during the tinting process. In addition, we recommended replacing the damaged seals to ensure the long-term integrity of the tint installation. By addressing this issue, we ensured that the tint would be applied securely and would last longer without the risk of peeling or lifting. - Incorrect Tint Shade Selection The previous tint had a slightly lighter shade than what the owner had desired, which resulted in insufficient privacy and UV protection, especially in the harsh Dubai sun. The owner was looking for a darker tint to match the aesthetic of the vehicle and provide better sun protection.
Solution:
We worked closely with the client to choose a tint that matched their preference for both appearance and functionality. After considering factors like UV protection, heat rejection, and privacy, we selected a premium dark tint film that would provide the perfect balance of style and protection. The new tint not only enhanced the car’s appearance but also offered superior heat rejection and UV protection, keeping the interior cooler and more comfortable.
