Think about the day when your recently bought Midnight Black Porsche 911 is finally delivered. You take it for its first drive along Sheikh Zayed Road, the sun shining, reflecting its rays off the mirror finish of the paint. Before you know it, time goes by, and it’s time to stop at a fuelling station. This time, you are there under a bank of LED lights. Here, you see them—the numerous tiny “spider web” scratches, the dull hazing caused by abrasive sand, and a yellowing discolouration.
The “new car feel” was not only gone, but the desert literally took it away from you. That moment of sinking feeling? That is when you realise your investment is losing value at an incomprehensible speed.
There’s no way around it: the conditions in Dubai are some of the worst the industry has to offer. It’s not just the heat. There’s a perfect storm of wreckage:
UV Radiation and Corrosion: The Dubai sun is not only a heat source, but it’s a chemical disassembler. It breaks the molecular bonds of the clear coat, resulting in oxidation and that unpleasant faded look.
The Sandblasting Effect: When you’re driving over 100km/h (62 mph), tiny grains of silica act like sandpaper to your bumper and hood.
Chemical Etching: Bird droppings and dust, when baked at 50°C, burn through your paint in a matter of hours, not over the course of several days.
All these damage factors are discussed in forums and social media, and most vehicle owners who manage to know the cause of damage try to mitigate the damage with cheap polishes or “ceramic” coats, which offer no physical damage protection, which is overall a sure battle loss.
There is only one spot on the planet that can be really considered the top of the line in this product category, and that is XPEL.To understand this properly, you must get past the ‘that’s just clear stickers for your car’ mindset. It is certainly not that. XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF) has been described as a feat of engineering, a highly sophisticated, multi-layered thermoplastic urethane membrane. If a ceramic coating is a premium wax, XPEL PPF is the whole suit of armour. Initially created to protect military helicopter blades from the damaging effects of sand erosion in extreme environments, the technology has been refined for the automotive industry to act as a sacrificial shield protecting the paint from the elements.
Are you seriously looking for the “cheapest” option? XPEL is the global standard because it treats physics as a challenge, not a limitation. Rather than simply accepting the laws of nature and limiting the technology to what is possible within these laws, XPEL took a disruptive approach and changed the perception of what can be done.
This single feature alone has made XPEL the most sought-after product in Dubai. Elastomeric polymers are the key ingredient in the XPEL top coat. To illustrate this, let’s say the microfiber cloth leaves some swirl marks on the car’s surface, or you’ve made a minor scratch; you won’t have to make a trip to the detailer as a solution to either case. A 20-minute exposure to the Dubai sun is all the car needs. The heat makes the molecules return to their original plane, from which they were distorted. The scuffs and the scratches simply disappear.
Low-end films are glued on with cheap adhesives, which will eventually oxidise when exposed to UV rays, causing the gelcoat of your car to yellow. XPEL is a product designed to be used in the most extreme high UV environments. It continues to be “optically clear” for an extended period, and the colour of your car paint remains the same as it was when the manufacturer first delivered it to you.
Texas Pro does not grab a scalpel and run it over your car’s surface. We are talking about using XPEL’s DAP software, the world’s largest database of precisely cut vehicle factory patterns. This means that no “hand-cutting” will be done on your paint, and the edges will be so nicely tucked that you won’t even see the film.
XPEL is not something instant that you just replace with another instant one. In fact, it is a commitment for years. It guards the film against yellowing, staining, cracking, blistering, and delaminating. When it comes to a highly dynamic city like Dubai, a transferable warranty will work as a tool for negotiating the price of your used car.
Like owning a Stradivarius, one can purchase XPEL, but until one has studied and prepared, the true value is to the toddler or the novice. Texas Pro specialises in the art. The desert dry heat of the Arabian Ranches is a much different microclimate than the humidity of The Marina, and affects cure times and humidity. We understand the microclimate of the UAE and treat every vehicle, whether a supercar, track-tuned or daily drive SUV, with the same obsessive attention to detail.
After your home, your car is probably your second-biggest investment. It would be a pity, not to mention bad business, if you let the Dubai elements gradually lower your car’s value.

In no way should XPEL Paint Protection Film be considered a cost; it is a kind of insurance, the benefits of which are quite visible daily.
