What was done to this Rolls-Royce Dawn?
The Dawn had its wheels removed and its brakes, hubs, suspension and arches cleaned with dry ice, followed by the V12 engine bay.
With the wheels off, dry ice can reach the hub faces, the back of the discs and the suspension parts that a normal wash never touches. For another Rolls-Royce job, see the Rolls-Royce Wraith dry ice clean.
Why clean the brakes, hubs and suspension on a Rolls-Royce Dawn?
A Dawn is a convertible built to be seen, and that includes what shows through the wheels. Brake dust, road grime and surface rust on the hubs and calipers make an otherwise perfect car look tired, and on a white car with large open wheels the contrast is hard to miss. Dubai adds sand and dust that cake onto the suspension and the inside of the arches.
Taking the wheels off gave full access to the discs, hubs, calipers, suspension arms and arch liners. Dry ice then lifted the brake dust and grime, and loosened surface rust on the hubs, without water soaking the brakes or chemicals running onto the rubber bushes. The result is a wheel area that looks as finished as the paint.
How were the brakes and hubs cleaned?
The dry ice nozzle was worked over the discs, hubs, calipers and brake shields, lifting brake dust, grime and surface rust. Nothing is left behind because the pellets turn into gas.
Step by step, this is how the brakes were done:

Was the V12 engine bay cleaned too?
Yes. The V12 engine cover and the components around it were cleaned with dry ice, which is safe around wiring because it leaves no moisture.

The video follows the dry ice cleaning of the brakes, hubs and engine bay on the Dawn.
What does a clean V12 engine bay show?
Under the bonnet, the Dawn carries a twin turbo V12, with large covers and plenty of space for dust to settle. A clean bay is not only about looks. With the grime gone, it is easier to see the condition of hoses and seals and to spot a small leak before it becomes a bigger problem, and it makes a strong impression when the car is inspected or sold.
How often should dry ice cleaning be done?
There is no fixed rule. Many owners book it before selling a car, before a show or event, or once the engine bay and wheels have built up visible grime. In Dubai, cars that are driven daily or parked outside collect dust faster than cars kept in a garage. Our guide to dry ice vs steam cleaning explains which method suits which job.
How much does dry ice cleaning cost in Dubai?
Dry ice cleaning at Apex starts from AED 750 before VAT and is priced per car, because it depends on the car, the areas included and how dirty it is. Send your car details on WhatsApp for a quote. Read more in our dry ice detailing in Dubai guide and dry ice vs steam.
Is dry ice cleaning safe on brakes?
Yes. It is non-abrasive and leaves no water, so there is no risk of moisture sitting on the discs or in the calipers after cleaning.
