Comprehensive New Car Inspection: The Crucial First Step
Embarking on the journey with a new Genesis GV70 is exciting, but ensuring it starts in perfect condition is paramount. At O.T.O.C.A. Seoul Gangbuk branch, the process begins with a thorough inspection. This includes verifying all standard and optional equipment. A dedicated inspection team then meticulously examines dozens of points, covering the engine bay, exterior, interior, and all functional systems. They check fluid levels, look for leaks, listen for engine anomalies, and scrutinize every inch for even the smallest imperfections. This rigorous initial check is designed to catch any issues before they become problems.
In this particular case, the Genesis GV70 Bering Blue presented significant factory defects. Issues included paint imperfections, chipped paint on the door edges, a faulty side mirror housing, and paint bubbles. These were serious enough to warrant considering a refusal of delivery. The client was fully informed, and a request for correction was made to the manufacturer. After several days, the vehicle was returned, and all issues were confirmed as resolved before the owner officially accepted the car. O.T.O.C.A. collaborates with local Hyundai Bluehands and Kia Autocue service centers to expedite such repairs.
Premium Tinting: Lumina Vertex 1100's Superior Performance
Once the vehicle is accepted, the new car package installation commences. Before any tinting, the GV70 is carefully masked inside and out to prevent scratches or contamination during the process. The chosen Lumina Vertex 1100 film is a top-tier, non-metallic option, ensuring no interference with electronic signals. It offers exceptional heat rejection and crystal-clear visibility. The deep royal black color complements the Bering Blue exterior, enhancing the vehicle's premium look. O.T.O.C.A. employs the 'shaving technique' for a seamless finish, where the film is precisely cut to the edge of the glass, creating a unified appearance. The front windshield was tinted to 30% and the side/rear windows to 15% for optimal privacy and visibility.

Maintaining Vehicle Condition with Premium Coating Packages
Following the tinting, the focus shifts to protective coatings designed to preserve the GV70's pristine condition. The package includes premium treatments for the vehicle's surfaces. For the luxurious natural leather seats, an interior leather coating is applied to protect against stains and wear. Exteriorly, a glass coating enhances visibility by repelling water, while a ceramic coating provides a durable protective layer against environmental contaminants and minor scratches. A 'life protection' PPF (Paint Protection Film) is applied to high-impact areas like door cups, door edges, and the fuel filler cover to guard against chips and scuffs. Finally, tire coating is applied to maintain the tires' appearance and protect them.
Installation Process:
- Thorough New Car Inspection: Identifying and documenting any factory defects.
- Correction of Defects: Coordinating with the manufacturer for necessary repairs.
- Vehicle Preparation: Meticulous masking of interior and exterior surfaces.
- Tinting Application: Precision installation of Lumina Vertex 1100 film using the shaving technique.
- Coating Application: Application of interior leather coating, glass coating, ceramic coating, PPF, and tire coating.
- Final Inspection: Ensuring all work is completed to the highest standard.
The entire process, including the initial inspection and any necessary defect corrections, typically takes about 2-3 days. The result is a Genesis GV70 that not only looks stunning but is also protected against the elements and daily wear.
