1 – Choosing Low-Quality PPF

Possible Consequences

Cheap film quickly leads to bubbles, wrinkles, color fading, or edge lifting under Dubai’s intense sun. Inferior films are thinner and less UV-resistant, which shortens lifespan and can even damage paint during removal.

How to Avoid

• Go premium: DESERT SHIELD PPF is engineered for high heat and UV conditions in the UAE.
• Avoid false savings: Low upfront cost often means re-wraps and paint fixes later.
• Check specs: UV resistance, durability, and elasticity for complex curves.
• Demand warranty: Get written coverage against peeling and discoloration.

2 – Unprofessional Installation

Possible Consequences

Inexperienced work traps air and dust, leaves uneven edges, weak adhesion, or even scratches to factory paint during cutting.

How to Avoid

• Certified team: Proper tools—Knifeless Tape, calibrated heat guns, pro squeegees.
• Review portfolio: Ask to see completed DESERT SHIELD PPF projects on similar vehicles.
• Write it down: Clear scope, price, timeline, and warranty before work starts.
• Stay informed: Reputable shops communicate before, during, and after install.

3 – Poor Surface Preparation

Possible Consequences

Dust, wax, or moisture blocks adhesion and creates bumps or bubbles. Existing paint defects can telegraph through and cause early peeling.

How to Avoid

1. Thorough wash: Focus around trims and wheel arches.
2. Degrease: Isopropyl alcohol wipe-down to remove oils and wax.
3. Dry completely: Microfiber + air to purge moisture from seams.
4. Fix defects: Chips, scratches, or rust before installation.
5. Controlled environment: Indoor, dust-free bay with stable temperature.

4 – Ignoring Warranty & After-Care

Possible Consequences

Without a written warranty, any peeling or discoloration may be on you. Neglecting care instructions can also void coverage.

How to Avoid

• Confirm coverage: Duration, materials vs. labor, defects included.
• Keep records: Save invoice and warranty card.
• Act early: Report lifting edges or bubbles ASAP for free correction.
• Maintain properly: Gentle hand wash, no harsh chemicals, avoid high-pressure on edges.
