From a deep clean to full paint protection, we detail, polish, ceramic-coat, PPF, and tint your car to protect it from Dubai's sun and sand. Real pricing up front, premium products, and an honest recommendation on what your car actually needs. Free pickup across Dubai.
A customer came to us wanting a full PPF wrap on a two-year-old car, the most expensive option, because a studio had told him it was the only way to protect the paint. When we looked at the car, the paint was in good condition but covered in light swirl marks from automatic car washes, and the real issue was that it had never been protected at all. He did not need a four-figure full PPF wrap. He needed a proper machine polish to remove the swirls and a quality ceramic coating to protect it going forward, at a fraction of the cost. We did exactly that, and the car looked better than the day he bought it.
That is how detailing should work. There is a real menu of options here, from a simple wash to full paint protection film, and the honest job is matching the right one to your car and budget, not defaulting to the dearest. In Dubai the stakes are real: the sun, heat, and sand genuinely degrade paint and interiors faster than almost anywhere, so protection is worth it. At FIXGO we show you real pricing across the whole menu, use premium products, and tell you honestly what your car needs and what it does not.

What car detailing actually costs in Dubai
Most detailing studios make you ask for a quote. We will show you the real starting ranges, before VAT, across the full menu, from a wash to full paint protection. Final pricing depends on your car's size and condition, but here is where each service starts so you can plan.

Final price depends on your car's size, condition, and the product grade you choose (ceramic and PPF come in different tiers and warranties). Large SUVs and full PPF coverage sit at the higher end. We use premium, certified products, give you a clear itemised quote first, and recommend the right service for your car, not just the most expensive.
Read the signs
Signs your paint and interior need attention
Swirl marks and dull paint
Fine circular scratches and a flat, hazy look, usually from automatic car washes and Dubai's abrasive sand. A machine polish removes them and brings the gloss back.
Faded, oxidised, or unprotected paint
Paint going chalky or losing depth, especially on the roof, bonnet, and boot. Dubai's UV does this fast, and bare, unprotected paint has no defence against it.
Stained, smelly, or worn interior
Dust ground into the seats, sticky surfaces, sand everywhere, or lingering odours. Dubai's heat and dust are hard on interiors, and a deep detail resets the cabin.
Other reasons people detail: protecting a new car from day one, prepping a car for sale to maximise its value, removing tar and bird-dropping etching before it permanently marks the paint, or simply wanting that new-car feel back. The common thread in Dubai is that the climate degrades both paint and interior faster than owners expect, so detailing here is as much protection as it is appearance.

Most of what comes through is washing, protection, and polishing, the regular care that keeps a car looking new in a harsh climate. The big-ticket PPF jobs are a smaller share, and we only recommend them when they genuinely make sense for your car.
Clean, protect or restore
The right detailing for your car
Clean it
A premium wash and interior detail. The regular care that keeps dust, sand, and grime from building up and damaging surfaces. The most affordable and most frequent.
Protect it
Ceramic coating, PPF, or window tinting. These defend the paint and interior against Dubai's sun, heat, and sand, so the car stays looking new for longer and holds its value.
Restore it
Machine polish and paint correction to remove swirls and oxidation, or a full interior restoration. For cars that have lost their shine and need bringing back before protecting.
The honest order is usually restore, then protect, then maintain. We will not sell you PPF on swirled, unpolished paint, that just seals in the damage. We tell you the right sequence for your car.
Dubai conditions
Why Dubai is brutal on your car's looks
Dubai is one of the harshest environments in the world for keeping a car looking good, and it works on two fronts at once. Outside, the relentless UV breaks down clear coat and fades paint, the fine sand acts like a mild abrasive that scratches and dulls the surface (and gets dragged across the paint by careless washing), and the heat bakes contaminants like bird droppings and tar into the clear coat until they etch permanent marks. Inside, the same sun cracks and fades dashboards and leather, and the dust gets into every surface. This is exactly why protection, ceramic coating, PPF, and quality tinting, is more worthwhile here than in milder climates: it is not vanity, it is defending an expensive asset against an aggressive environment. A car that is protected and maintained in Dubai holds its looks and its resale value far better than one left to the elements.
New and unprotected
Fresh paint with no protection. It looks great now, but Dubai's sun and sand are already starting to work on it. The best time to protect.
Swirls and dullness
Months of washing and sand have left swirl marks and the gloss is fading. A polish still brings it back easily at this stage.
Oxidation and etching
UV has oxidised the clear coat and bird droppings or tar have etched in. Correction is harder now, and some marks may be permanent.
Clear coat failure
Left long enough, the clear coat fails and peels, and the only fix is repainting, far more expensive than the protection that would have prevented it.

Case study
A Mercedes brought back, then protected
A customer bought a used Mercedes that looked tired, flat paint, heavy swirl marks, and a dull, dusty interior, and assumed it just needed a good wash. It needed more, but not as much as a studio had quoted him for a full respray and PPF. We did a multi-stage machine polish to cut out the swirls and restore the depth, a full interior deep clean, and then a quality ceramic coating to lock in the finish and protect it from the sun going forward.
The car came out looking close to new, the paint deep and glossy again, the interior fresh, all for a fraction of the respray-and-PPF quote he had been given. He did not need to replace the paint, he needed to restore and protect what was there. Knowing the difference, and the right order to do it in, is what saved him the money.
FAQ
Car detailing Dubai, answered
A premium wash starts from AED 85, a full interior detail AED 300 to 800, machine polishing AED 500 to 1,500, ceramic coating AED 800 to 3,500, and PPF AED 2,500 to 8,000. You get an itemised quote first. See the table above.
Ceramic coating is a liquid layer that makes paint hydrophobic and easier to clean, with a glossy finish. PPF is a thicker physical film that absorbs stone chips and scratches. PPF protects against impact; ceramic protects against contaminants and adds shine. Many cars benefit from both.
A quality professional ceramic coating lasts around two to five years depending on the grade and how you maintain it. It handles Dubai's heat well and makes washing far easier.
Yes, within RTA limits (generally up to 30% on rear windows, with rules on the windscreen). We fit UAE-compliant tint so you stay legal while cutting heat and UV.
Usually yes. Coating over swirled or marked paint just seals the damage in. We polish and correct first so the protection goes over a flawless surface. We will tell you what your car needs.
Machine polishing removes swirl marks and light scratches that sit in the clear coat. Deeper scratches that have gone through the paint need touch-up or respray, which is body and paint work rather than detailing.
A maintenance wash every couple of weeks, and a deeper detail every few months, because the sun and sand work fast here. Protection like ceramic or PPF reduces how much corrective work you need over time.
Yes, significantly. Clean, well-protected paint and a fresh interior make a strong impression and justify a higher price. Detailing before selling is one of the best-value things you can do.
