Audi bodies are well protected from the factory, but Dubai is tougher than it looks. Coastal humidity, salty air near the sea, sand blasting the underbody and stone chips can expose bare metal over time, especially around wheel arches, sills and steel subframes. Mixed aluminium and steel parts also need care, as contact between them can speed up corrosion. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we inspect the underbody, treat any surface rust and apply protective coatings and cavity wax where they help.
We check the underbody, arches, sills and subframes for chips and early rust.
Sand, salt and dirt are washed off and the car is dried fully before treatment.
Surface rust is cleaned back and treated so it does not spread under the coating.
Brakes, exhaust, sensors and rubber parts are covered so coating does not reach them.
A protective coating is applied to exposed areas such as arches and the floor.
Wax is sprayed into sills and hollow sections where moisture can collect.
Masking is removed and drain holes are checked to make sure water can escape.
We explain what we found and what we treated.
Audis mix aluminium panels with steel parts. Where the two meet, moisture can cause galvanic corrosion. Keeping these areas sealed and protected is one of the best ways to avoid expensive body repairs later.
Bubbling paint on wheel arches or door bottoms usually means rust underneath. Small spots are much cheaper to fix early. For paint repair see our Audi denting and painting, or check a car before you buy with a pre-purchase inspection.
