STEK PPF: DYNOshield vs FORCEshield vs C-CLEAR
What makes STEK different
What sets STEK apart is its HYDROphobe nano-glass top coat on DYNOshield, listed for strong water beading and stain resistance, and the longest clear-film warranty on Garagat after lifetime films: up to 12 years. STEK also makes window film and a TPU windshield shield.

What each option adds
- Finish. Matte instead of Gloss: +AED 1,000 (+10%) at Glitz Car Care LLC; Matte instead of Gloss: +AED 1,050-1,575 (+9-11%) at FELIS AUTOWORKS. Matte and satin films are specialty products made in smaller runs, so they cost more than gloss.
- Installation. Laser-Cut Installation instead of Manual Installation: +AED 1,050 (+6-11%) at FELIS AUTOWORKS. Pre-cut film is cut by a plotter from templates for your model before fitting, and garages charge for that step.
- Warranty. every warranty costs the same at Zguard Auto Care LLC. A longer warranty usually means a higher grade of film or coating, registered with the maker.
Every STEK line explained
DYNOshield
8 to 8.5 mil (about 203 to 216 microns), gloss or matte · 10 to 12 years
STEK's flagship. A TPU film with the HYDROphobe nano-glass top coat, self-healing, high gloss and anti-yellowing. Listed with up to a 12-year STEK warranty. Pick it for a new or high-value car, or if you want the longest STEK cover.
FORCEshield
8 mil (about 203 microns), gloss or matte · 5 to 10 years
One step below DYNOshield. Self-healing and water-repelling with the same choice of gloss or matte, at a slightly lower thickness. Listed with 10-year cover, and some garages also offer a 5-year option.
C-CLEAR
7.5 mil (about 190 microns), gloss or matte · 5 years
STEK's entry clear film. Still self-healing and hydrophobic, with a 5-year warranty. A sensible choice if you keep cars for a few years or want STEK quality on a full body for less.
