Just Bought a Mercedes-AMG G63? The Dubai Protection Guide

The best way to protect a new Mercedes-AMG G63 in Dubai is full body PPF on the paint, heat reducing window tint, and protection film on the interior screens and carbon trim, ideally before the car covers many kilometres. At Apex Detail Studio, full PPF for SUVs starts from AED 13,500 before VAT and tint from AED 2,500.

Why does a new G63 need protection in Dubai?

Because a G63 is a statement car that gets used every day, and Dubai is hard on paint. Highways throw up stones and sand, the summer sun bakes the surface, and mall car parks bring door dings and scuffs.

The G-Class shape makes this worse. Its upright windscreen and flat bonnet take chips head on, the big doors show every mark, and black G63s show every swirl from washing. Once factory paint is chipped, the fix is a respray, and a resprayed G-Class panel never perfectly matches the rest of the car.

What should I protect first on a G63?

Paint first, then glass, then the cabin. Paint damage is the most expensive to fix and the least reversible, so PPF goes at the top of the list.

1. Full body PPF

Clear, self-healing film over every painted panel. It absorbs stone chips, resists scratches and blocks UV, while keeping the factory finish. On a G-Class we precut patterns and tuck edges around the hinges, flares, handles and spare wheel cover. Full PPF for SUVs starts from AED 13,500 before VAT. The full breakdown is in our G63 PPF cost guide.

2. Window tint

The G63 has a lot of upright glass, so the cabin heats up fast in summer. Good tint cuts heat and UV and makes the AC’s job easier. Tint starts from AED 2,500 before VAT and takes about 3 to 4 hours. See our black G63 PPF and tint build and the UAE window tinting guide.

3. Interior film on carbon trim and screens

The G63 cabin is full of carbon fibre and gloss surfaces that scratch easily from rings, keys and cleaning cloths. Clear interior film starts from AED 2,000 before VAT. On a black 2025 G63 we filmed the carbon trim and grab handle:

4. Ceramic coating

A ceramic coating over the film or paint adds gloss and makes washing easier, because dust and water slide off. It starts from AED 2,500 before VAT.

5. Style options

Many owners change the look at the same time. Matte PPF turns gloss paint satin, colour PPF changes the colour, and a blackout darkens the trim. See our G63 matte PPF guide and the white to black G63 colour change. Some owners also add interior upgrades; we fitted a custom starlight headliner to this silver G63.

Should I get PPF before I start driving the G63?

Before, if you can. Film locks in whatever is underneath, so a brand new car with perfect paint goes straight to film. Once chips or swirls appear, the paint may need correction first, which adds time and cost.

How long will my G63 be at the studio?

Full PPF takes 2 to 3 days, and tint can be done in the same visit. We are open every day except Friday, visits are by appointment, no deposit is needed, and we offer pick up and drop off across Dubai.

How do I look after a protected G63?

• Wait for the film to settle before the first wash; we give aftercare instructions at collection.
• Use pH neutral shampoo and soft mitts, and rinse off sand before touching the paint.
• Avoid automatic brush washes; they leave swirls, especially on black cars.
• Book our yearly PPF maintenance package: film inspection, hydrophobic refresh, hand wash and detail, and a UV check.

If you take the G63 to the dunes or Hatta, read our G63 desert and off-road protection guide.
