Why Paint Protection Film Matters in the UAE
Between the intense desert sun, sandstorms, and high-speed highways, paint damage is a constant threat to vehicles in the UAE. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the ultimate defense – and choosing the right type makes all the difference.
At Moto Refine, we exclusively install STEK PPF – a global leader in paint protection technology. In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of STEK PPF film and help you determine which one suits your vehicle and lifestyle.
What Makes STEK PPF a Premium Choice?
All STEK paint protection films offer:
- Advanced self-healing properties
- Strong resistance to UV, heat, stains, and chemicals
- A hydrophobic topcoat for easier cleaning
- Warranty-backed durability up to 12 years
Whether you’re protecting a new luxury car or refreshing the look of a daily driver, STEK delivers cutting-edge performance with world-class finish options.
1. Gloss PPF: Clear, Deep Shine + Invisible Protection
Best for: Daily drivers, luxury cars, and factory-finish preservation.
STEK DYNOshield is a high-gloss film designed for superior clarity and self-healing. It enhances your vehicle’s original color while shielding against chips, swirls, and UV damage.
Key Features:
- Wet-gloss finish that deepens paint color
- Self-healing surface eliminates fine scratches with heat
- Water-repellent hydrophobic layer
- 10-year manufacturer warranty
2. Matte PPF: Satin Finish with Full Protection
Best for: Custom matte paint or transforming gloss into stealth finish.
STEK DYNOmatt delivers a sophisticated satin look while maintaining the same high level of protection.
Key Features:
- Ultra-smooth matte texture
- Conceals minor imperfections and swirl marks
- Self-healing and stain-resistant

Whether you want to preserve a factory matte finish or convert your glossy car into a stealth head-turner, DYNOmatt is the go-to.
3. Colored & Custom PPF: Protection with Personality
Best for: Unique styling, color accents, or full-color body transformations
STEK offers a full line of DYNOcolor and Fashion PPF films that combine advanced protection with bold, head-turning aesthetics.
Options Include:
- DYNOred, DYNOprism, DYNOcarbon and more
- Tinted or textured finishes like carbon fiber and brushed metal
- Ideal for mirrors, roofs, accents, or full-body wraps
Colored PPF allows you to express your style while still enjoying the benefits of self-healing protection.
4. Hydrophobic & Self-Healing PPF: Low Maintenance, Maximum Gloss
All STEK PPF films come with hydrophobic topcoats and self-healing technology, but certain models are designed for extreme performance.
STEK DYNOshield and DYNOmatt both offer:
- Self-healing of light scratches from heat or sunlight
- Strong water-beading effect for easy washing
- Protection from water spots, bug acids, and tar
For drivers who demand a clean, polished look with minimal effort — these are standout options.
