Four Protection Kits
Wing mirror protection
Wing mirrors are right in the firing line of stones, hedges and even other cars. Our PPF effectively protects the car from this.
Headlight protection
Some manufacturers may not provide headlight protection, we strongly advocate for its importance. Unfortunately, in many cases, a chipped headlight can only be repaired by replacing the entire unit, which can be a costly endeavor.
Front bumper protection
The front bumper is one of the highest impact areas on a car. It is susceptible to stone chips, scuffs and scratches. Our PPF provides a shield against this.
Service Specification
Service Duration: 6-8 Hours
Includes: Front bumper, Headlights and wing mirrors.
Service Description
Installing self-healing film on the highlighted areas.
Sills Protection
A car’s sills are susceptible to damage from not only stone chips, low hedges and other hazards on the road, they are also vulnerable to occupants shoes or bags passing in and out of the car. Our PPF prevents damage from all of the above. This kit includes the standard kit.
Front wing protection
To safeguard the front wings of your vehicle, including any carbon fibre components, consider investing in our comprehensive front and sills protection kit. This essential accessory is designed to shield your car from the damaging effects of high-speed debris, such as rocks, which can lead to unsightly chips and damage to the front wings. The kit itself includes our standard protection package, providing an added layer of defense against potential hazards on the road.
Service Specification
Service Duration: 2-3 Days
Includes: Front bumper, full wings, full bonnet, side sills, Headlights and wing mirrors.
Service Description
The full frontal coverage is the most popular option for motorists.
We recommend this package as the bare minimum to safeguard the most susceptible areas of your vehicle, which are commonly susceptible to stone chipping and damage. Anything less would leave critical sections of your car vulnerable to harm.
Roof protection
The roof of a car, particularly above the windscreen, is at risk from stone chips. It’s also a prime target for bird lime and other fallouts. Our PPF protects painted and carbon fibre roofs. This kit includes the full front and sills kit.
Door protection
Car doors are vulnerable to stone chips, scratches and scuffs. They’re also at danger from car park dings. Our PPF minimises the risk of paint damage to your doors. This kit includes the full front and sills kit.
Rear Bumper and Spoiler protection
Believe it or not the rear bumper can get stone chips too, especially behind the rear wheels. Bumpers are also vulnerable to making contact with other cars or objects, especially when parking. Our PPF offers an invisible layer of protection to this. This kit includes the full front and sills kit.
Service Specification
Service Duration: 3-6 Days
Includes: Covering all the external painted sections on the car.
Service Description
This kit is the most comprehensive coverage for complete protection.
This comprehensive kit comprises a wide range of exterior components, including the front bumper, side skirts, hood, wing mirrors, headlights, sills, doors, roof, quarter panels, and rear bumper. Notably, it covers all elements that are typically painted or constructed from carbon fibre, with the exception of the rear diffuser, which can be added as a separate, bolt-on component if desired. This extensive coverage is the most popular option at Polix due to the exceptional finish provided by the paint.
Full bespoke protection
Older cars, particularly those which are hand built, tend to be completely unique, with no two examples the same. Furthermore, they tend not to be symmetrical. We don’t cut PPF on the car, so we need to design every section to fit from scratch. This is the only way to properly protect your unique or classic car.
Service Specification
Service Duration: 5-10 Days
Includes: Custom design covering all painted sections.
Service Description
Our Custom kit is a bespoke design made specifically for your car in house.
This package is particularly well-suited for older, bespoke vehicles, where each unit is uniquely handcrafted. In contrast, modern cars often feature symmetrical designs, enabling the creation of patterns for one side and then mirroring them to the other. Nevertheless, for certain vintage vehicles, every panel is distinct, requiring the development of bespoke film designs from the ground up.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
We’ve all seen the little stone guards car manufacturers use on wheel arches, the dull and discoloured film half way across a Supercars bonnet, or perhaps the awful ”car bra’s”?
Actually Paint Protection Film or PPF was initially conceived and developed by the US Military as a way to protect Helicoptor rotors and other sensitive parts from debris and other intrusions. The thick film was applied on leading edges and potential impact areas, designed to be hard wearing and easily replaced in an environment where aesthetics were far from a necessity. As with so many modern day applications, what started as military technology, eventually found its way in to the commercial sector, and over several decades has slowly developed into the various products we have today protecting our cars.
By comparison the glossy self healing films we use at Polix today are a far cry from the thick, ugly ‘Hele tape’ of years gone by. In fact at Polix we have developed our PPF films and installation methods to be almost entirely invisible, not only does it provides protection from chips, abrasions and environmental factors, but the design, fit and appearance of our modern films actually serves to enhance the look of your car while protecting your investment.
Polix protection film combines BEST IN CLASS DURABILITY AND CLARITY, NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET. With its very low surface energy our PPF’s clear coat sheds contaminants, that would otherwise stain or yellow conventional films.
Elastomeric polymers heal over time and naturally eliminate swirl marks and other fine scratches.
With its 10-YEAR PARTS AND LABOUR WARRANTY against cracking, peeling, staining and hazing, our film is the most revolutionary paint protection film on the market today.
Protection
Our PPF protects your paintwork from chips, minor scuffs and scrapes, environmental factors such as bug splatter and protects the finish against defects from poor washing techniques.
Enhancement
Our PPF has a superior optical clarity and is very easy to maintain. When looked after correctly, it gives a depth of shine like freshly detailed paint for many years.
Self Healing
Our PPF has a self healing layer. Stone chips, scuffs, scratches and swirls that don’t penetrate this layer, disappear with the application of heat from hot tap water, the car’s engine or even just the sun.
Replacement
If a panel needs replacing, you won’t be off the road for long. Most panels can be replaced within a couple of hours – unlike traditional paint repairs, which often take days or even weeks.
Time & Convenience
Should a panel require replacement – it is a quick turnaround – most panels can be replaced within a couple of hours, whereas paint repairs run into days, even weeks.
Cost
Because our PPF is specifically designed to fit each panel, it can be replaced individually, meaning little or no need to strip the panels and no extra paint to blend the colour to adjacent panels.
Traditionally PPF was installed on wheel arches, the leading edge of the bonnet or the forward panels of the car. Today, many clients want us to cover the entire vehicle. Such is the quality of the modern films and our design and installation processes, that it really does make sense to protect the whole car.
Paint protection film can protect your car against damage, such as stone chips, car park nudges and chipping, and day-to-day scratches.
With our custom designs, we can cover Any painted, carbon fibre or smooth finished surface of the car, even interior trims. We have various options to suit each part of the car: thicker film for low down, high impact areas such as bumpers and sills, and clearer film for large, flat panels such as bonnets and roofs. All our film comes in matte, as well as traditional high-gloss options, to cover expensive matte paints and carbon fibre paints.
Where the Damage Occurs:
High impact areas (bumpers, bonnet, front wings, wing mirrors, lower doors, wheel arches, sills, headlamps, lower doors, wing mirrors).
Medium impact areas (rear wings, upper doors).
Low impact areas (boot lid, engine cover).
All of our paint protection film kits are designed in house from scratch and are not amended from film manufacturers patterns, resulting in optimum protection in accordance to our stringent Poilx standards.
- Once a car arrives onsite, a full inspection of the car’s condition is carried out, whether it is a new or used vehicle.
- The car’s paint is inspected further using a sun-gun to highlight any defects, swirls, holograms, and customers are offered optional paint correction where necessary, before the film installation begins.
- New models get patterned one panel at a time, then digitised and loaded into our CAD programme for the design work to be done.
- Once designed we move to the test fit; if any adjustments are required, a new test panel is produced and again installed, until the fit meets our exact specification.
- Now we can move to the full installation of our PPF.
- Finally, we move to the first of three Quality Control stages before the car receives final cleaning, ready for return to it’s owner.
We provide a 10 Year Warranty on all our Paint Protection Film products that has been installed by Polix team of certified installers; the longest and most comprehensive warranty of its kind in Dubai. We warrant your film against yellowing, crackling or lifting and will replace any area of film on inspection, deemed not to meet this criteria, during the course of its warranty (from date of purchase). Of course the warranty does not cover damage to PPF caused by accidents, collisions, intentional misuse, ordinary wear or damage caused by products or cleaners not recommended for use on PPF. As well as the warranty, we provide clients with thorough After Care advice and documentation to help keep the car looking great for many years to come. For more information, warranty exclusions, full Terms & Conditions or After Care information, please contact a member of the Polix team.
Once your car has been protected by our Polix Installers, you can appricate the added benefit of effortless upkeep with the PPF, as its glossy finish remains remarkably easy to maintain. We provide After Care instructions, along with your warranty documentation. But you should remember a few key points:
- As the installation of the film is a wet process we advise not to wash the car for the first 7 days afterwards the procedure. The moisture in between the film and paint is still evaporating during this time and using shampoos can affect this and the adhesive qualities around the edges of each panel.
- Once the film has cured, you are able to wash the car as normal (if possible use the twin bucket method and a lambswool wash mitt). If you use a pressure washer, ensure that you keep the spray lance at least 3 feet away from the surface of the film, especially the edges, as the pressure may lift the edge of the film. We recommend a pH balanced shampoo and our range of premium car care products.
- If you get bug splatter or bird droppings you should remove them as soon as possible. While the PPF adds protection, the top layer has a similar make up to your car`s own lacquer and will also be marked from the acids etching into it.
- If you like to polish or wax your car you can continue to do this on PPF covered panels, although more careful selection of the cleaning products must be taken. Polishes that are solvent-based or abrasive can mark the film leaving a haze, or damage the self healing abilities and must be avoided. A good quality natural wax like Carnauba can be used; of course if you are unsure, our team can advise on specific recommended products.
- Surface scratches and swirl marks in the film will heal over a period of time. If you need to accelerate the process, then pour warm water (not boiling) over the desired area, that will help the upper most layer of the film to morph back into its original state.
- Satin finishes cannot be machine polished!
