XPEL PPF in Dubai: Film Options, Coverage and Warranty
XPEL PPF comes in three main films for cars in Dubai: Ultimate Plus (clear gloss), Stealth (satin) and Ultimate Fusion (clear gloss with a built-in hydrophobic layer). All three are self-healing, stop stone chips and scratches, block UV, and carry a manufacturer warranty of up to 10 years when installed by a certified installer. The right choice depends on the finish you want and how much easy-clean performance matters to you. Apex Detail Studio installs XPEL at our studio in Al Quoz.

XPEL Ultimate Plus: clear gloss protection
The most popular choice. It is optically clear, so your paint keeps its factory look and often gains depth. Light scratches and swirls heal with heat. Best for owners who love their car’s colour and want it protected without any visible change.
XPEL Stealth: satin finish
Stealth has the same protection as Ultimate Plus, but its top layer turns gloss paint into an even satin finish. It changes the car’s look completely, and it is fully reversible. It must not be polished or waxed. See it on a truck in our Ford Raptor matte PPF project.
XPEL Ultimate Fusion: gloss with built-in hydrophobics
Ultimate Fusion adds a hydrophobic layer to the film itself, so water beads and runs off and dirt releases more easily. It suits owners who want easier washing without adding a separate coating.
| Ultimate Plus | Stealth | Ultimate Fusion | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finish | Clear gloss | Satin | Clear gloss |
| Self-healing | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Built-in hydrophobic layer | No | No | Yes |
| Changes the look | No | Yes | No |
| Best for | Keeping factory paint looking new | A satin transformation | Easiest cleaning |

How much of the car should you cover?
| Coverage | Panels | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Front package | Bumper, bonnet, front fenders, mirrors | Budget-conscious owners who mainly want stone chip protection |
| Extended front | Front package plus A-pillars, roof edge and rocker panels | Frequent highway drivers |

Satin film is almost always full body, so the finish is even everywhere.
What does the XPEL warranty cover?
XPEL’s manufacturer warranty, up to 10 years depending on the film, covers defects such as yellowing, cracking, blistering and delamination when the film is installed by a certified installer. It does not cover damage from accidents or misuse. We register your installation and explain aftercare at handover.

- Wait for the film to settle before the first wash.
- Hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and rinse sand off first.
