Paint protection
STEK vs XPEL PPF in Dubai. How to compare the film and fit
STEK and XPEL both make self-healing paint protection films, with features that vary by product. Modcare installs STEK and does not supply or fit XPEL. If you’re comparing installers in Dubai, ask each for the exact film name and how they will finish the edges on your car.
Start with the exact film
STEK DYNOshield is a clear gloss film. STEK DYNOmatte has a matte finish. STEK describes both as hydrophobic. XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is a self-healing range with clear and black options. XPEL also offers a hydrophobic topcoat in its ULTIMATE FUSION range.
If you want colour, ask which specific product the installer quotes. A manufacturer’s clear, matte and colour films are different products with their own finishes, performance specifications and warranty terms.
Compare the fitting as closely as the film
Two cars protected with the same film can have different visible joins and edges. Look at completed cars, including close-ups at the bonnet corners and door edges. Ask which joins the installer expects to see on your model and where they can wrap the film around a panel edge.
Modcare shapes the film to the vehicle and wraps it around suitable edges. You can see what that means in the hand-cut fitting comparison.
Compare quotes on the same coverage
- Ask for the manufacturer and exact film name.
- Check that both quotes list the same panels, and ask about preparation and any areas excluded.
- Ask how the installer handles edges, corners and joins on your car.
- Compare the written film and workmanship warranties separately.
