FAQs
Paint Protection Film, or PPF, is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of a car to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions. It is available in Gloss, Satin, Matte, and Colour Change finishes.
We offer a 10-year warranty on our Gloss and Satin PPF, and a 5-year warranty on our Colour Change PPF, covering defects such as yellowing, cracking, and peeling. This warranty is comprehensive and includes labor and material costs associated with the replacement of the film. Additionally, the warranty is fully transferable should the vehicle ownership change, provided the new owner completes a PPF inspection and updates the warranty transfer.
Yes, PPF can be applied to any vehicle, regardless of make or model. We customize the film to perfectly fit the specific dimensions of your vehicle.
The self-healing technology in our PPF uses heat from the sun, the engine, or even warm water to automatically mend minor scratches and swirls on the film’s surface. Additionally, light scratches can also self-heal at room temperature over time, keeping your car’s exterior looking impeccable.
Yes, the difference lies in the finish and appearance. Gloss PPF gives a shiny, high-gloss finish, enhancing the paint’s color depth. Satin PPF offers a softer, more muted shine, while Matte PPF provides a flat, non-reflective finish. Each type protects equally but offers a different aesthetic.
Colour Change PPF not only protects your paint but also allows you to alter the color and finish of your vehicle without permanent changes. This film is available in various colors and finishes, providing both protection and style customization. Like our other PPF products, Colour Change PPF also features self-healing properties, repairing minor scratches and swirls with heat.
Maintain your PPF by washing your vehicle with pH-neutral cleaning products, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive tools. Regular washing and occasional waxing with PPF-safe products will help maintain its clarity and quality.
Contact us immediately if you notice any peeling, blistering, or damage on your PPF. Our warranty covers such issues, and we will inspect and possibly replace the affected section of the film.
Yes, PPF can be professionally removed by our trained technicians using the proper tools and techniques to ensure there is no damage to your vehicle’s paint.
Removal of PPF will not damage factory paint. However, we cannot guarantee that removal will not damage non-factory or repainted surfaces.
Installation time varies based on the vehicle and the amount of coverage, but typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.
We strongly recommend that PPF be applied by certified professionals, such as those trained at RMA PPF, to ensure precision, proper adhesion, and to avoid errors that could affect its appearance and protective qualities. Our installers undergo rigorous training to master the latest techniques and product knowledge.
Yes, PPF provides a strong protective barrier that significantly reduces the likelihood of paint chips from road debris, though severe impacts might still cause damage.
The warranty can be transferred to a new owner if the vehicle undergoes a full PPF inspection at our facility and the new owner updates the ownership details and pays a AED 500 transfer, inspection, and administration fee.
The cost varies depending on the vehicle size, the type of film used, and the coverage area. Please contact us directly for a detailed quote based on your specific needs.
Yes, PPF can also be applied to the interior surfaces of your vehicle, such as dashboards and door panels, to protect against scratches, scuffs, and wear from regular use.
Yes, the self-healing properties are also effective for interior PPF, allowing minor scratches and marks from everyday usage to disappear with heat exposure, maintaining the pristine appearance of your vehicle’s interior.
Our PPF's self-healing top coat has been rigorously tested to withstand the extreme climates typical of the Middle East. It efficiently repairs itself from the damages of high temperatures and direct sunlight, ensuring lasting protection and resilience.
Our pre-wash stage uses a foam cannon to apply a thick layer of foam that clings to the surface of the vehicle, loosening dirt and grime without direct contact. This step is crucial for minimizing the risk of scratches during the subsequent hand wash, which uses a two-bucket method for a thorough, scratch-free clean.
We use water-based, non-corrosive degreasers and a variety of brushes to gently clean the engine bay. Protective covers are used to shield sensitive components from moisture. This meticulous process not only cleans but also protects the engine bay components, enhancing the vehicle’s performance and longevity.
This method involves using one bucket filled with a pH-neutral cleaning solution and a second bucket with clean water for rinsing the wash mitt. This technique helps avoid reintroducing dirt onto the vehicle's surface, significantly reducing the risk of scratching the paint during washing.
After washing, we use a clay bar to physically remove bonded surface contaminants like tar, sap, and metal particles. For stubborn contaminants, we may use specific chemical removers. This thorough decontamination process ensures the paint surface is perfectly clean and smooth, ready for the paint correction stages.
Our paint correction process begins with a machine compounding to remove deeper scratches and oxidations. Next, we use finer polishes to smooth out the surface and enhance gloss. The final stage involves ultra-fine polishes to achieve a mirror-like finish. Each stage is carefully tailored to the condition of the vehicle’s paint.
Deep interior cleaning involves comprehensive cleaning of all interior components including carpets, upholstery, dashboard, consoles, and windows. We use steam cleaning and hot water extraction methods for fabrics, along with special cleaners for plastics and leathers, ensuring all surfaces are sanitized and refreshed.
After paint correction, the vehicle is thoroughly wiped down with a solvent to remove any residues. Then, Gtechniq Ceramic Coating is meticulously applied panel by panel. This coating cures to form a clear, hard layer that chemically bonds with the vehicle’s paint, providing long-lasting protection.
Gtechniq Ceramic Coatings provide enhanced durability, scratch resistance, and ease of cleaning due to their hydrophobic properties. They also offer exceptional UV resistance, keeping your paint from fading and maintaining the gloss levels for several years.
The longevity of the coating depends on the specific product applied. Crystal Serum Light can last up to 5 years, while Crystal Serum Ultra, which has a 9H hardness rating, can last up to 10 years, provided the vehicle is maintained properly and regular inspections are conducted.
For interior protection, we apply a hydrophobic coating on fabrics which repels liquids and prevents stains. On leathers, we use a coating that not only protects against spills but also UV rays, preventing the leather from drying out and cracking.
The frequency can vary based on the vehicle’s use and storage conditions. For daily drivers, we recommend a full detailing twice a year to maintain the vehicle in peak condition, with additional protective treatments as needed.
Detailing can significantly reduce the visibility of most scratches, especially those that haven’t penetrated through the paint's clear coat. However, deep scratches that have gone through the paint may require repainting or other forms of repair.
Absolutely, our detailing methods and materials are selected to be safe on all types of vehicles, from luxury and performance cars to daily drivers. We adjust our techniques according to the specific requirements and sensitivities of each vehicle's finish.
Regular maintenance should include gentle washing with a pH-neutral soap, avoiding automatic car washes, and applying a quality wax or sealant every few months. We also recommend parking in shaded areas or using car covers to protect the finish.
Interior protection makes the cabin surfaces easier to clean and more resistant to wear. This is particularly useful for vehicles frequently used by families with children or pets, as it helps maintain the newness and functionality of interior materials while simplifying upkeep.
