Audi E-tron: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

The design of the electric car fully corresponds to its premium status. The manufacturer has selected interesting colors for the body to emphasize the elegance and prestige of its creation. The only thing that detracts from the car is operational scratches. With each passing day of driving, they increase, and the gloss gradually fades.

There are several potential solutions to this problem. The first is periodic polishing of the emerging defects, but this method does not work in the long term. A more effective method is to apply a protective film to the Audi. Here are the advantages of such body protection:

The coating is applied once and lasts for 5-8 years.
Care is minimal; infrequent washing is sufficient.
All parts under the film are protected from scratches, chips, and road incidents.
The car’s condition remains unchanged until the removal of the anti-gravel protection.

The process of applying protective film to the Audi also has other advantages, which we invite you to explore in this overview. We will also discuss the main nuances of the service and provide care tips.

Anti-gravel wrapping for Audi

The importance of choosing the right film for the E-Tron You don’t need to worry about selecting the coating; a qualified specialist will assist you. They will clarify the purpose of the wrapping and the expected outcome. Based on your wishes, we will find the suitable film.

The focus in wrapping the Audi E-Tron is on reliable protection. The thicker the film, the higher the level of protection for the paintwork, so it is essential to choose a material with high characteristics.

A worthy candidate for protecting the Audi’s body is polyurethane film. With a thickness of up to 210 microns, it offers protection against minor accidents, scratches, and careless washing, effectively eliminating annoying scratches and reducing wear on the car during driving. Polyurethane also has other important features:

Scratch healing when heated, achieved due to the similarity of polyurethane to rubber.
Even protection of the paintwork at any temperature, maintaining the effectiveness of the coating in both summer and winter.
A lifespan of 5 to 8 years, eliminating the need for regular replacement, unlike ceramics and liquid glass.

Together, all these characteristics make polyurethane the most effective anti-gravel film for Audi.

In our studio, specialists also apply vinyl wraps, but it has its own story. The first thing that distinguishes vinyl from polyurethane is the variety of color palettes. While polyurethane offers only a couple of options, vinyl can provide dozens of colors and unique effects. Hence, the primary purpose of the material is styling. Colored polyurethane has only recently appeared on the market and still cannot offer as much choice as vinyl. Additionally, the service of covering with colored polyurethane will be significantly more expensive.

If you want to change the color or add unique inscriptions, our studio’s craftsmen will fulfill your wishes. We will select vinyl in any color and discuss the best options.

Vinyl should not be considered as a protective option. Its thickness and other parameters are only sufficient for protection against scratches and wear. A stone will easily penetrate vinyl film, necessitating a material replacement.

The lifespan also favors design changes. Five years is enough to enjoy a new design before replacing it with another, while this duration is insufficient for protection.

As you may have guessed, polyurethane film was chosen for the Audi E-Tron. Let’s look at the methods of applying it.

Locally or fully: 2 wrapping complexes for the E-Tron that define protection reliability Branches, sand, and gravel inevitably come into contact with the entire body, but the front part is more vulnerable to damage. Due to its high vulnerability, it is called the risk zone, making it crucial to protect this area.

Wrapping the risk zone is the first complex you can perform in our studio. Here, the focus is solely on the front part, namely the bumper, hood, pillars, lights, and mirrors. The front fenders and roof are also covered. Among the advantages of this complex are:

Protection of the most vulnerable area.
Reduced risk of damage to wrapped elements.

Of course, partial wrapping of the Audi will not provide maximum results. If you want to protect your car from damage as effectively as possible, consider the option of full wrapping. The material is applied to the entire body, ensuring maximum protection. After full coverage:

The risk of damage is minimized for the entire car.
Wear of unwrapped parts is eliminated.
The vehicle receives the highest level of protection.

Only the chrome elements remain without film, but we have a solution for that too. To protect the grille, window frames, moldings, and other chrome parts from chipping paint and rust, we offer an Anti-Chrome service. Our specialists will cover the small Audi parts with black film, thereby protecting them from wear. CarEngineering cares for every millimeter of your vehicle. Our specialists will provide detailed information about each complex.

Applying protective film to the Audi E-Tron: Quality above all The client preferred to keep the wrapping hidden from everyone, so specialists applied a clear polyurethane film. When all technological features are followed, the coating becomes completely invisible after wrapping. Our specialists put in their best efforts to achieve the desired result.

The first step in the process is to remove some parts and wash the vehicle. The bumper and door handles are removed so that the technician can access hard-to-reach areas of the body. The removed Audi parts are wrapped in film separately and then reattached.

Washing also has specific features:

Cleaning is carried out in several stages with mandatory degreasing.
The inner part of the detail is also cleaned of grease, dirt, and wax.

Let’s elaborate on the second point. One of the peculiarities of wrapping an Audi is the “underlap.” Just a couple of millimeters determine how reliably the body will be protected. When applied with an underlap, the edge of the part is completely wrapped in armor. This means that when a stone hits, the risk of the material lifting is minimal, keeping both the coating and the vehicle intact. If the film ends at the outer edge of the part, not only can a stone damage the wrap, but strong water pressure during washing can also harm it.

The masters perform the underlap carefully and meticulously, as the reliability of your body protection is in our hands. After that, the car must dry thoroughly and is ready to meet its owner.

Another important aspect is caring for the Audi E-Tron wrapped in film. No, we’re not lying; the coating requires no maintenance, but immediately after the service, a few nuances should be considered:

It is recommended to wash the car for the first time a week after wrapping; this time allows the film to adhere well to the body.
You must inform washers about the coating on the car.
Bird droppings should be wiped off as soon as possible to prevent stains.

Our specialists will provide detailed information on all rules at the time of delivery.
