What is PPF and why is it important for cars in Dubai?
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a transparent, self-healing urethane film applied to your car's paint. In Dubai's climate — intense UV, desert sand abrasion, extreme heat — standard paint degrades faster than almost anywhere else. PPF is the most effective physical barrier against all of these factors.
How long does ceramic coating last?
High-quality ceramic coating applied by ZGuard lasts 3–5 years depending on maintenance and driving conditions. It provides long-term gloss enhancement, chemical resistance, and hydrophobic protection throughout that period.
Is window tinting legal in the UAE?
Yes. Window tinting up to 50% VLT is legal in the UAE. ZGuard offers fully compliant options across all vehicles. We will not install tints that will fail a roadworthiness inspection — your safety and legal compliance matter to us.
Can I change my car's colour without repainting?
Absolutely. Our vinyl colour wraps allow full customisation while keeping your original paint completely intact underneath. The wrap is 100% reversible — remove it any time to restore the factory finish without any damage.
What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical barrier — it takes the damage instead of your paint (rock chips, scratches, abrasions). Ceramic coating is a chemical shield — it repels water, UV rays, and contaminants while enhancing gloss. Many ZGuard customers apply both for maximum protection.
How long does PPF installation take?
Depending on coverage area (partial vs. full body), a PPF installation takes 1–3 days. We use pre-cut digital templates for precision and to minimise your vehicle's time in our studio.
What is STEK PPF and why is ZGuard different?
STEK is globally recognised as the No.1 automotive PPF brand, qualified by automotive manufacturers worldwide. ZGuard is Dubai's exclusive authorised STEK dealer — meaning we are the only installer in the UAE offering genuine STEK DynoShield (12-year warranty), STEK ForceShield (10-year), and STEK C Clear (5-year) packages with full manufacturer backing.
How much does PPF cost in Dubai?
