00:00We introduce it in the UAE market in 2007, it's a German technology originally used to
00:21protect the paint of the car.
00:23Everything gets foiled, from door handles to smaller parts.
00:27Foilings are done by computer to achieve symmetry, but the application is done manually.
00:31The price tag is a hefty 17,000 dirhams to 75,000 dirhams.
00:37But if you can afford a flashy car, you can afford this one.
00:40As long as they paid for their car, 200 and above, they are in the categories of our customers
00:45because these people care about driving a fancy car.
00:50For some people, car foiling works out as an economical and practical option.
00:55When you want to remove it, it will cost you much less than putting the car in the
00:58original color.
00:59In the end, when you want to sell the car, you just remove the foil.
01:03Your paint is original as brand new.
01:04Before the car's color can be changed, the company has to arrange for the necessary approval
01:09and documentation.
01:10And the color options are vast.
01:12We have colors that the paint cannot provide.
01:13We have 3D colors like the carbon fiber, brushed aluminum.
01:16All these colors are exclusive for foil, not for paint.
01:20Matte colors are really popular in the UAE.
01:22How long does it take to foil a car?
01:24It depends on the car.
01:25Some cars take around four days.
01:27Some cars go up to eight days.
01:28And then the material we are using, some materials like the matte black is easy, so we are faster.
01:35Some materials like the chrome is complicated and we cannot stretch it as much, so it takes
01:40even up to ten days.
01:41What kind of warranty do you get from this service?
01:44We give one year warranty on the foil and three years warranty on the original paint
01:48of the car.
01:49We will cause no damage to the original paint.
01:51And how long will the foil last?
01:53It depends on how you keep it.
01:54It's just like the paint.
01:55If you keep your car in a good condition, clean it, polish it, don't expose it to the
02:00sun a lot, it will last up to five years.
02:03So the question that remains is, do you or don't you need a car foiling?
02:08In this case, the answer is entirely up to you.
