Protection film
01What is paint protection film (PPF)?
PPF is a clear or matte layer installed on the car’s paint. It is 190 to 230 microns thick, and it takes the scratch or the hit instead of the paint.
It protects against stone chips on the road, wash marks and bird droppings; it does not protect against accidents and hard impacts. Details are on the protection film page.
02How long does film installation take?
1–2 days depending on the package.
The car goes through 7 stages: wash, polish, second wash, protection film installation, exterior finish and nano, interior finish and nano, then delivery. You follow them live until you collect the car. The whole day is described in PPF installation steps.
03Is the film clear or matte?
Both are available, and the choice is yours.
Clear keeps the paint’s gloss as it is, while matte turns the car matte without a respray. Matte is available in all five brands with the same warranty as gloss, and costs 5,000 EGP more on the full car. Details are in Matte PPF.
04Does the film yellow over time?
Modern films from known brands are made to stay clear; yellowing is mostly a problem of films of unknown origin.
We install five films: 3M, XPEL, HEXIS, STEK Dyno and Covestro, with a digital warranty: 10 years on 3M, XPEL and HEXIS, and 12 years on STEK Dyno and Covestro. They are compared in PPF brands in Egypt.
05How do I know the film is genuine?
Every film box carries a serial and a secret code, and you activate the warranty yourself.
The serial is 12 letters and digits; the secret code is 8 digits under a scratch-off layer, and it can be activated only once. The full method is in how to tell a genuine protection film.
Nano and graphene
01What is the difference between protection film and nano ceramic?
Film stops scratches and stone chips; nano ceramic is a coating for gloss and easier cleaning, and it does not stop impacts.
The X Max package and the tiers above it combine the two ideas: a graphene layer on the paint under the film. The full comparison is in PPF vs nano ceramic.
02Which nano ceramic do you use, and how long is its warranty?
It is German, with a 3-year warranty.
It costs 6,000 EGP and comes with a free check-up every 6 months. Details are on the nano ceramic page.
03How long is the graphene warranty?
5 years when done on its own, and 10 years with protection film in the X Max package and the tiers above it.
The graphene we use is American, and on its own it costs 9,000 EGP. Details are on the graphene page.
04What is the difference between graphene and nano ceramic?
Graphene has the longer warranty: 5 years against 3 for nano ceramic.
Graphene is American and costs 9,000 EGP; nano ceramic is German and costs 6,000 EGP. The full comparison is in Graphene vs nano ceramic.
05In the packages, what goes under the film?
A graphene layer, in the X Max package and the tiers above it.
It goes on the paint first and the film is installed on top of it; together with the film it carries a 10-year warranty. The X Shield package has no layer under the film. See the packages.
06If the film is removed, what happens to the graphene underneath?
It is intact, like a freshly applied coating.
The layer was hidden under the film the whole time. It is explained on the graphene page.
07When can I wash the car after film or nano?
After 15 days.
More washing and care tips are in the aftercare guide.
Heat insulation
01Does clear heat insulation darken the glass?
No. The 3M film is clear and does not darken the glass.
So you get a cooler car without tinting, for 3,500 EGP. Details are on the heat insulation page.
02How much does clear heat insulation block?
It blocks up to 98% of infrared (IR), the rays that heat up the cabin.
That figure is for infrared, not for all heat and not for cabin temperature. Try your own numbers in the heat calculator on the heat insulation page.
03Do you offer window tint?
Yes: tint with heat insulation, a 3M film (30% tint and 70% heat insulation), fitted on the four doors and the rear glass, for 3,500 EGP.
Details are on the tint with heat insulation page.
04What is the difference between tint with heat insulation and clear heat insulation?
Clear heat insulation is cooling without changing the colour of the glass, while tint with heat insulation is darkening plus insulation.
Both are 3M, and each costs 3,500 EGP. See the clear heat insulation page and the tint with heat insulation page.
Warranty and follow-up
01How long is the film warranty?
10 years on 3M, XPEL and HEXIS, and 12 years on STEK Dyno and Covestro.
The warranty is digital and you activate it yourself. Details are on the digital warranty page.
02How do I activate the warranty?
Scratch the sticker on the film box, then enter the serial (12 letters and digits) and the secret code (8 digits) on the “Activate your warranty” page.
Activate it here: Activate your warranty.
03Where is the certificate kept?
In your account on the site, and you can add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Anyone can verify it on the verification page.
04Which services does the digital warranty cover?
Protection film: the digital warranty with a serial and code is for protection film only, and it runs 10 years on 3M, XPEL and HEXIS, and 12 years on STEK Dyno and Covestro.
Nano ceramic carries a 3-year warranty and graphene 5 years on its own, but without a serial and code. The free check-up every 6 months applies to film, nano ceramic and graphene.
05If I sell the car, does the warranty transfer to the new owner?
Yes. Customer service transfers it to the new owner, and the warranty continues its term rather than starting over.
Before selling you can create a share link for the certificate from your account, so the buyer can verify it.
06Is there a follow-up after the film is installed?
Yes: the first check-up is 10–15 days after installation, then every 6 months, all free.
Nano ceramic and graphene also get a free check-up every 6 months.
