ABOUT US

The Shogun brand was founded by our highly experienced team after years of research and testing.
It is a sub-brand of Nanoproof Solutions which specializes in sourcing and testing the latest materials for architectural and automotive uses.

Our team reached out to the top chemical producers of thermoplastic polyurethane from around the world and started testing over fifteen paint protection films in 2019 which included some of the top brands in the industry. The films were put to the test and were exposed to Dubai’s harsh climate and extreme UV index on a daily basis.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

What are the benefits of using paint protection film?

Paint Protection Films (PPF) offer several advantages, including protection against damage such as rock chips and scratches, preservation of resale value by maintaining the original paint finish, enhanced aesthetic appeal without altering the vehicle’s color, long-term cost savings by reducing the need for frequent touch-ups or repaints, and ease of maintenance with minimal upkeep requirements.

Generally, high-quality PPF can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance. However, it’s essential to follow manufacturer recommendations for cleaning and maintenance to ensure optimal longevity. Regularly washing your vehicle and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can help extend the lifespan of the PPF.

Whether paint protection film (PPF) is expensive can vary depending on several factors. Initially, the cost of PPF installation might seem high compared to traditional waxing or ceramic coatings. However, when considering the long-term benefits, PPF can actually be a cost-effective solution.

To get your car fitted with paint protection film, we recommend visiting our authorized dealer network. Please navigate to the dealer section on our website to locate the dealer nearest to you. Our authorized dealers are equipped with the expertise and resources to provide professional installation of paint protection film, ensuring the best results for your vehicle.

  • Real-world performance backed by science—why X8 Plus thrives in extreme climates:
  •  High Shore Hardness + Shogun UV Formula = Greater Heat & UV Resistance
  • The film incorporates the Shogun UV Formula which includes a balanced concentration of UV stabilizers, antioxidants, and HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers).
  • An impressive Shore A 98 rating indicates very high surface integrity.
  • In regions like the GCC, with intense UV radiation and high temperatures, PPFs with Shore A 85–90 tend to degrade faster—yellowing, softening, or losing self-healing capabilities at a faster pace.
  • X8 Plus’s film resists thermal distortion, topcoat softening, and adhesive seepage, making it more durable over time.
  •  Superior Resistance to Sand, Dust & Micro-Scratching
  • Roads in the Middle East especially expose vehicles to abrasive sand and fine dust particles.
  • X8 Plus’s harder film surface significantly reduces the chances of micro-marring, swirl marks—common issues with lower Shore A PPFs.
  •  Longer Optical Clarity Retention

X8 Plus’s Harder PPF and cutting-edge top coat maintain their optical and gloss properties longer. This is a common issue in most PPF’s especially when exposed to constant solar load.

  • ⚠ The Trade-Off: Experienced Installers Required

Yes, the aforementioned properties can make installation on complex curves challenging for less experienced installers.

However, with trained installers, this trade-off is well worth it in terms of long-term performance and customer satisfaction.

Our top tier films have undergone a stringent Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Test: These films achieved a VOC emission level of 0.0095 mg/cm², which is five times lower than the allowable rate of 0.05 mg/cm². This exceptionally low rate not only reflects superior material quality but also indicates enhanced thermal stability. As a result, the film is significantly more durable under heat exposure and better able to maintain its insulation performance over time, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for both automotive and architectural applications.

At first glance, you might notice a very subtle yellowish hue when our paint protection film is applied to white vehicles. This is not a defect — it’s the result of a carefully engineered formula designed for long-term performance and durability.

Unlike some brands that prioritize short-term clarity by minimizing certain additives, our film includes a balanced concentration of UV stabilizers, antioxidants, and HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers). These essential components:

  • Protect the film from yellowing and oxidation over time
  • Increase resistance to UV exposure, road chemicals, and abrasion
  • Extend the life and appearance of your vehicle’s paint for years

While reducing these additives might create a clearer appearance in the short term, it significantly compromises the film’s long-term protection — especially under harsh sun, heat, and pollution.

Our formula is the result of years of market testing and real-world validation, and is trusted by professionals who value durability, reliability, and customer satisfaction over temporary aesthetics.
