Car PPF & Car Window Tinting in Dubai

Stone chips on the nose

Jaguar tells owners of the EURO-edition XF to repair stone chips and deep scratches promptly, since bare metal corrodes quickly. We refinish the chip in our body shop and then cover the panel with clear film.

Etched spots from droppings and insects

On UK-edition Land Rover cars, Land Rover classes bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects and tar spots as corrosive substances that can damage the paintwork. We clean the deposit away and fit film across the bonnet and mirrors, so new deposits land on the film.

Faded or yellowing paint

Paint research shows photooxidation starts when the paint absorbs UV light, and it breaks the coating down chemically. The end result can be lost gloss, a colour shift, yellowing, cracks or peeling. We polish oxidised gloss paint back to an even finish before any film covers it.

Old film lifting at its edges

High-pressure spray aimed at film edges can lift the edges and damage the film. We replace the lifted piece of film with a new one.

A hot cabin after parking

A UAE University study in Al Ain found shaded white cars averaging 41.8 °C in the cabin, with the outside air at 37.4 °C. Their body panels averaged 47.4 °C. We fit heat-rejecting window film to cut that heat at the glass.

Sun on the skin through the side glass

A 2016 study tested the glass of 29 cars. Their windscreens averaged 96 per cent UV-A blockage and their side windows 71 per cent, with single side windows from 44 to 96 per cent. We fit a UV-blocking film to the side glass.

Fewer stone chips

Paint protection film guards paint against stone chips and scratches, and one film passes a standard gravel impact test. We fit it to the panels that meet the road first.

Light scratches that close

Light scratches in one self-healing film close by themselves at room temperature.

Stains that stay on the film

The film takes bug damage, road tar, stains and automotive fluid stains in place of the paint.

Paint that keeps its colour

Paint protection film shields the finish from outdoor weathering, including harsh UV radiation. We fit full-body film for cars that stand in the open sun.

A cooler cabin

One nano-multilayer window film rejects 97 per cent of the infrared in the 900 to 1,000 nm band. The same film blocks 69 per cent of the sun's infrared energy.

UV kept off your skin

That film also blocks 99.9 per cent of UV on clear glass and on tinted factory glass.

Inspect and record the paint

A wash first makes problem areas easy to see. We then photograph unsound paint: loose paint, dents, fillers, rust, blisters and areas where water collects.

Remove old film

We take old PPF off with steam, which keeps it pliable, and pull it back at less than 45 degrees. Pulled that low, the film carries its adhesive away and does not leave it on the paint.

Decontaminate the panels

We remove tar, tree sap, wax and old polish with the right solvent and a clay bar. Each panel then gets a wipe of 70 per cent isopropyl alcohol and 30 per cent water.

Fit and trim the film

Body panel seams move as the car flexes, so film laid across one pulls away. We cut the film at each seam between panels.

Keep sensors and cameras clear

Mercedes-Benz states that the radar sensors behind the bumpers and grille of an EU-edition E-Class W213 must not be covered. Covering the windscreen near its camera, with a sticker for instance, can impair Active Steering Assist on that model. We leave those areas clear of film on every car.

Tint the side and rear windows

We cut the film to size and fit it to the inner face of each side and rear pane.

Film fitted indoors

Warm, windy air speeds up the evaporation of isopropyl alcohol. We prepare and fit paint protection film indoors, out of the wind and the sun.

Matt paint kept matt

For a matt-finish, EU-edition E-Class W213, Mercedes-Benz rules out polish, wax and car washes with a hot-wax finish. We never polish matt paint before film goes on.

Window film with no metal

One nano-multilayer window film contains no metal and does not interfere with mobile phones, GPS or satellite radio.

Shade matched to the factory glass

Safety glazing with under 70 per cent light transmittance carries a V in its marking. One film transmits 69 per cent of light over clear glass, against 58 per cent over tinted factory glass. We read the mark before choosing a shade.

Rear screen elements protected

Jaguar tells owners of the EURO-edition XK coupe to clean the inner rear screen with a damp cloth or chamois, never solvents or sharp objects. Those rules protect its heating and radio elements. We clean every rear screen with a soft damp cloth and no scraper before film goes on.

One workshop for paint and glass

We take paint protection film and window film work for every make our workshop services. Paint, film and glass work share one roof in DIP 2.

A wait before the first wash

Leave a car with new clear PPF unwashed for 2 days, and one with coloured PPF for 3 days. Coloured PPF also stays out of automatic tunnel washes, which scratch and damage its finish.

Hand washes over machine washes

Jaguar's advice for the EURO-edition XF is to avoid automatic car washes, jet washes and power mops. Repeated automatic washes can dull the lustre of its paint.

Droppings and insects off at once

Mercedes-Benz tells owners of the EU-edition E-Class W213 to soak bird droppings with water and rinse them off. Insect remains take an insect remover, and all dirt comes off as soon as possible.

Stubborn stains lifted from the film

Stubborn stains on one PPF come off with isopropyl alcohol. Keep the alcohol on the film and off the paint around it.

Windows up after tinting

Keep newly tinted windows closed and uncleaned for 1 to 5 days, depending on the climate at fitting.

Gentle glass cleaning

Use a damp microfibre and a mild glass cleaner without ammonia on tinted glass. Scouring pads and other abrasive materials stay away from the film.
