What should I protect first on a new Tesla Cybertruck?
The stainless steel body. It is the one part of the truck that cannot be polished, touched up or easily repaired, so it comes before anything else.
A painted car has a clearcoat that takes light scratches. The Cybertruck has bare stainless steel, so a scratch from a car park pillar, a trolley or a careless jet wash goes into the metal. Brushed stainless is hard to blend once it is marked. Full body PPF puts a clear, self healing layer over every panel, and if a panel of film is ever damaged, it can be replaced without touching the steel. Our Cybertruck PPF guide explains why stainless behaves so differently from paint.
Why fit PPF before the first few drives?
Because the steel is at its best on delivery day. Film locks in whatever is underneath, so the cleaner and less marked the steel is, the better the finish under the film.
A few weeks of Dubai driving brings sand blasting on the lower doors, stone hits from the highway and fingerprints everywhere. Any marks are recorded with you at inspection, and some trucks need surface correction before film. Bringing the truck in early keeps that work to a minimum. We offer pick up and drop off across Dubai, so the truck can come to us straight from delivery. Our new car PPF checklist shows what we check first.
Full body PPF or front only on a Cybertruck?
Full body. Partial film on a stainless body leaves visible film edges on the steel, and most of the damage on a Cybertruck happens on the sides, not just the front.
The doors are the biggest panels on the truck and take the most car park contact. The lower doors and sills take grit off the tyres, and the bed rails and tailgate take scuffs from loading. On a painted car, a front package makes sense. On a Cybertruck, most owners we see choose full body for a consistent look. If budget means starting smaller, our guide to partial PPF packages explains the trade offs.
Clear, satin or a new colour?
All three protect the steel equally. The choice is how you want the truck to look.
- Clear gloss: keeps the stainless look, with a little more depth and shine.
- Satin: a flatter finish closer to the original brushed steel, or satin black for a stealth look.
- Colour PPF: changes the whole truck. We have done gloss black, satin black, gloss green and brown, all reversible.
Colour PPF starts from AED 15,000, only a small step up from clear film at AED 13,500. See our Cybertruck colour change PPF guide for the full process, and the Cybertruck PPF cost guide for every price.
Do I need window tint on a Cybertruck?
In Dubai, yes. The Cybertruck has a lot of glass, and the sun is strong all year. Tint cuts heat and UV in the cabin and adds privacy.
Window tint on a Cybertruck starts from AED 2,500 before VAT. The flat, angled glass needs patterns cut and heat shaped to each pane. When tint is booked with PPF, it goes on after the body film and adds about 3 to 4 hours. Read the full Cybertruck window tint job, and see the UAE window tinting guide for the rules on how dark you can go.
Should I add ceramic coating on top of the film?
It is optional, but many owners do. Ceramic coating over PPF makes the surface more hydrophobic, so dust and water slide off and the big panels are quicker to wash.
Ceramic coating starts from AED 2,500 before VAT. It does not replace the film: coating helps with cleaning, film takes the scratches and stone hits. Our guide to PPF vs ceramic coating explains the difference.
What about the interior?
The large centre screen and gloss trim pick up fine scratches from day one. Interior protection film starts from AED 2,000 and covers the screen and gloss surfaces with clear film.
See our interior PPF guide for what can be covered.
How long will my new Cybertruck be with you?
Full clear PPF takes 2 to 3 days. A colour change takes about 5 days. Window tint adds about 3 to 4 hours when booked in the same visit.
We are open every day except Friday, visits are by appointment, and no deposit is needed to book. Pick up and drop off is available across Dubai, and the studio is at 6A Street, Al Quoz Industrial 3. Film and workmanship are both covered for 5 years.
Watch a Cybertruck protected from bare steel
This Cyberbeast came in raw stainless steel and went through wash, decontamination, surface correction, full satin black PPF and window tint.
How do I look after a Cybertruck with PPF?
Hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo, dry with a clean microfibre towel, and keep pressure washer nozzles away from the film edges.
Film is far more forgiving than bare stainless steel, so fingerprints wipe off easily. To keep the film looking new, we offer a yearly PPF maintenance package: film inspection, hydrophobic refresh, hand wash and detail, and a UV check. Our guide to how long PPF lasts in Dubai explains what to expect over the years.

What our PPF customers say
Frequently asked questions
What should I protect first on a new Cybertruck?
The stainless steel body, with full body PPF in clear, satin or colour film. It is the hardest part of the truck to repair once marked.
When should I bring a new Cybertruck in for PPF?
As soon after delivery as you can, before Dubai driving marks the steel. We can collect the truck from you.
Is full body PPF better than a front package on a Cybertruck?
Yes, for most owners. Partial film on stainless steel leaves visible edges, and much of the damage is on the doors, sills and bed sides.
Should I tint the windows on a new Cybertruck?
In Dubai, yes. Tint cuts heat and UV in the cabin. It starts from AED 2,500 before VAT and adds about 3 to 4 hours when booked with PPF.
Do I need ceramic coating if I have PPF?
It is optional. Ceramic coating over the film makes washing easier; the film is what protects the steel. Coating starts from AED 2,500 before VAT.
How long will my Cybertruck be in the studio?
Full clear PPF takes 2 to 3 days and a colour change about 5 days. We confirm the timing when you book.
How much does it cost to protect a new Cybertruck?
Full body PPF starts from AED 13,500 and colour PPF from AED 15,000, before 5% VAT. Tint and ceramic coating each start from AED 2,500, and interior film from AED 2,000.
