DAY 07 FOR PPF TIPS

Welcome back to Day 07 of our PPF tips series!

Must-Know Tips for Weather & Road Conditions in UAE.

Day 07 – UAE Weather-Proof Tips for PPF Longevity

Driving in the UAE isn’t like anywhere else. The blazing sun, random sandstorms, and frequent traffic mean your Paint Protection Film is constantly working overtime. Today’s tips are focused on adapting your PPF care to the unique weather and road conditions we all deal with in the region.

1. After a Sandstorm? Rinse Before Wiping

Sand can scratch your PPF if wiped while dry. After a storm or dusty day, rinse the car thoroughly before touching it with any cloth.

Best for:

  • Drivers in desert zones like Al Ain or outskirts of Sharjah

  • Anyone with satin or matte finish PPF (which shows scratches easily)

This prevents fine grit from acting like sandpaper and damaging the film's top coat.

2. Use a Ceramic Boost Spray Every Few Weeks

A ceramic topper (booster spray) enhances shine and adds hydrophobic protection over your PPF.

Best for:

  • Vehicles exposed to sun or salt air (e.g., Dubai Marina, Fujairah coast)

  • Car owners who love a glossy, fresh finish year-round

Ask CARPI for our recommended products—we’ll even apply it for you during a detailing session.

3. Keep a Microfiber & Detail Spray in Your Trunk

On-the-go cleaning can save your film from permanent stains.

Best for:

  • Families with kids (think sticky fingers!)

  • Food delivery drivers or anyone always on the road

A quick spray-and-wipe keeps things clean until your next full wash, especially when bird droppings or tree sap land on your hood.

Tip 1: Don’t wash your car immediately after installation Give your paint protection film at least 48 hours to cure before washing or exposing it to water. Tip 2: Use pH-balanced car shampoo Avoid harsh chemicals—always use a gentle, pH-neutral shampoo to maintain the film’s clarity and longevity. Tip 3: Avoid high-pressure washers on edges When washing, keep the nozzle at a distance and avoid spraying directly on the film’s edges to prevent lifting.

DAY 04 FOR PPF TIPS

Welcome back to Day 04 of our PPF tips series! 1. Don’t Wash the Car for At Least 5–7 Days PPF needs time to fully bond and cure. Washing it too soon—even with just water—can weaken the edges or cause lifting and bubbling. Best for: Protecting a fresh install Ensuring long-term adhesion Avoiding edge failure 2. Don’t Park Under Direct Sun Immediately After Application While PPF is heat-resistant, extreme UAE sunlight can interfere with curing in the first 24–48 hours. Shade is your friend. Best for: Preventing premature shrinkage Cars parked outdoors frequently Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s summer heat 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Pressure Washers Even after curing, PPF still needs gentle care. Acidic cleaners or high-pressure water jets can damage the film or create streaks.

At CARPI AUTO CARE CENTRE, we see many cars with amazing PPF jobs ruined simply because of small, avoidable mistakes. These quick tips are all about building the right habits! 1.
