At Kartal Auto, we recently completed a ceramic coating service on a luxurious Maserati Levante in Dubai, enhancing its exterior with long-lasting protection and an exceptional shine. During the application process, we encountered a few challenges that needed expert attention to ensure the highest quality finish. Below are the issues we identified and the solutions we applied:
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Surface Contamination
- Problem: The Maserati Levante’s paint was contaminated with dust, road tar, and industrial fallout, which could interfere with the ceramic coating’s bonding.
- Solution: We performed a thorough clay bar treatment to remove all surface contaminants. This step ensured that the paint was smooth, clean, and ready for the ceramic coating, providing optimal adhesion and a flawless finish.
2. Issue: Swirl Marks and Minor Scratches
- Problem: The vehicle’s paint had visible swirl marks and minor scratches, often caused by improper washing techniques, which could affect the smoothness and shine after coating.
- Solution: We carried out a paint correction to remove the swirl marks and scratches. Using a dual-action polisher, we restored the surface to a smooth, uniform finish, ensuring the ceramic coating would adhere properly and provide an even gloss across the entire vehicle.
3. Issue: Water Spots and Mineral Deposits
- Problem: Water spots and mineral deposits had built up on the paint due to exposure to Dubai’s harsh environment.
- Solution: We applied a water spot removal treatment to dissolve the mineral buildup and eliminate the water spots. After re-washing the vehicle, we made sure the surface was completely clean and ready for the ceramic coating.
4. Issue: Uneven Gloss Level
- Problem: Some areas of the Maserati Levante’s paint exhibited an inconsistent gloss, particularly around the edges and body contours.
- Solution: After completing the paint correction, we applied a final polish to ensure an even gloss across the vehicle. This polishing step enhanced the paint’s depth and shine, creating a perfect surface for the ceramic coating to enhance and protect.
5. Issue: Trim and Rubber Seal Damage
- Problem: The vehicle’s trim and rubber seals were exposed to UV rays and environmental contaminants, showing signs of fading and wear, which could affect the overall appearance once the ceramic coating was applied.
- Solution: We treated the trim and seals with a restorer solution to rejuvenate their appearance and protect them from future UV damage. This step ensured the entire vehicle, including all trim pieces, was shielded and looked pristine after the ceramic coating was applied.
