Porsche bodies are galvanised and well protected from the factory, and many panels are aluminium. Even so, the underbody hardware, brake lines, suspension mounts, steel fixings and exhaust parts are exposed to Dubai’s salty coastal air, humidity and sand blasting at speed. Where aluminium and steel parts meet, corrosion can also start at the joints. Orange Auto inspects the underside of your Porsche, treats any surface corrosion and applies protective coatings where they are suitable, taking care not to block drains or coat parts that need to stay clear.
With the car on a lift, we check the floor, sills, subframes, fixings, brake lines and exhaust hangers for corrosion or damaged coatings.
Sand, salt and road grime are washed off and the underbody is dried so coatings bond properly.
Surface corrosion on steel parts and fixings is removed and treated before any coating is applied.
Brakes, hot exhaust sections, sensors, cooling inlets and drain holes are masked or avoided.
A suitable protective coating is applied to exposed areas, chosen to suit both steel and aluminium surfaces.
Where accessible, cavity wax is applied inside box sections where moisture can collect.
We check coverage, remove masking and make sure drains and cooling paths are clear.
Corroded exhaust parts? See Porsche exhaust repair. Bubbling paint on body panels? See Porsche denting and painting.
Where aluminium panels meet steel fixings, moisture can cause corrosion at the joint. These areas are worth checking regularly.
Cars parked near the sea in areas such as the Marina, Palm or JBR are exposed to salty, humid air every day.
Cayenne and Macan owners who drive on sand should rinse the underbody afterwards to remove abrasive sand and salt.
Blocked drains hold water against the body. We check them during inspections and servicing.
Do Porsches rust?The bodies are well protected, but fixings, brake lines, exhaust parts and joints between metals can still corrode, especially near the coast.
How long does underbody protection take?Usually a day, including cleaning and drying.
Can you treat existing corrosion?Surface corrosion can be treated before coating. Badly corroded parts may need replacing, and we’ll tell you if so.
