At Kartal Auto, we recently completed a ceramic coating service on a stunning Maserati Grecale in Dubai. Our team of experts worked diligently to apply a protective layer that enhances the vehicle’s appearance while safeguarding it from environmental factors. During the process, we identified several issues that needed attention before applying the ceramic coating. Here’s a breakdown of the challenges we encountered and the solutions we implemented:
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Paint Imperfections and Swirl Marks
- Problem: Upon inspection, the vehicle’s paint showed several imperfections, including swirl marks and fine scratches that resulted from improper washing and drying techniques.
- Solution: We first performed a paint correction process, using advanced polishing tools to remove swirl marks and scratches. This meticulous step ensured that the surface was smooth and flawless, creating the ideal base for the ceramic coating application.
2. Issue: Water Spots and Mineral Deposits
- Problem: Due to Dubai’s high humidity and occasional rain, the Maserati Grecale’s exterior had water spots and mineral deposits that were embedded in the paint, causing unevenness in the finish.
- Solution: We treated the surface with a water spot removal solution that effectively broke down and removed the mineral deposits. After the treatment, we gave the car a final wash and decontamination to ensure the surface was spotless and ready for the coating.
3. Issue: Contaminants on the Paint Surface
- Problem: The vehicle’s paint surface was contaminated with particles like road tar, tree sap, and industrial fallout, which had settled into the clear coat.
- Solution: We performed a clay bar treatment to remove these contaminants without damaging the paint. The clay bar safely lifted all embedded debris, leaving the surface smooth and prepared for the ceramic coating to bond perfectly.
4. Issue: Faded Trim and Exterior Surfaces
- Problem: The Maserati Grecale’s trim and rubber seals showed signs of fading due to exposure to the harsh Dubai sun, which detracted from the overall appearance of the vehicle.
- Solution: We applied a plastic and rubber restorer to rejuvenate the trim and seals, restoring their original color and finish. This treatment helped protect the surfaces from further UV damage and prepared them for the ceramic coating, ensuring a uniform look across the entire vehicle.
5. Issue: Unprotected Headlights and Taillights
- Problem: The headlights and taillights were starting to show signs of oxidation, which can reduce clarity and affect their performance.
- Solution: We performed a headlight and taillight restoration, polishing them to remove oxidation and restore clarity. After the restoration, we applied a protective layer of ceramic coating to the lights, ensuring long-lasting clarity and protection against further damage.
