Anti-gravel protection for a Mercedes G63 in matte film (G-Class W463).

The legendary Mercedes G63 SUV is designed to stand out on the road. Its appearance and the memorable curves of its powerful body are recognizable from afar.

However, like other vehicles, the SUV is susceptible to scratches from stones, sandblasting, gravel, branches, and poor-quality car washes. Given the G-Wagon’s boxy shape, it is more exposed to the risk of damage from all sides. Stones can hit the windshield, arches, hood, and other parts. To preserve the attractive appearance of the G-Wagon for as long as possible, applying a protective film is recommended. This is precisely why this vehicle arrived at our studio.

The owner decided not to settle for transparent protection and chose a matte film for the vehicle. It not only offers high protective characteristics but also gives a beautiful matte finish. The result is worth it: the film on the Mercedes G-Class accentuates all the body’s edges, draws attention to the details, and adds a unique look to the vehicle. Let’s talk about how the process of applying the film went.

Protective Film for the G-Wagon: Features and Characteristics of the Matte Coating The matte film is a type of polyurethane, considered the best material for body protection. Among its key features are:

Protection against both mechanical and chemical effects. In addition to shielding against scratches, scuffs, minor accidents, and body snags, the film protects the SUV from exposure to cleaning chemicals, road enamel, and bird droppings. As a result, the vehicle’s resistance to corrosion significantly increases.

Adaptability to different temperature conditions. In both summer and winter, the level of protection remains the same, with no risk of cracks or deformation due to temperature fluctuations. Self-healing top layer (Top Coat). The ceramic layer on the film self-repairs when heated. Minor damages, such as scratches and irregularities that appear during use, completely disappear. All the Mercedes G needs is a few hours in the sun.

Minimal maintenance. While an unprotected body is easily damaged by poor-quality washes, the frequency and quality of washing are less critical for a protected vehicle. This does not affect the material’s condition or effectiveness. A service life of 5 to 8 years. A single application of the film on a Mercedes G-Class can keep annoying scratches at bay for a long time. Each manufacturer provides its own recommendations for the material’s use, with some films lasting up to 10 years. The key is to remove the coating in time, ensuring no glue residues on the body and that the paintwork remains shiny and new.

All these properties apply to both transparent and matte films. The only difference is in visibility on the body. If you want to make the film even more original, we offer colored film coverings. This can be done using vinyl and polyurethane. While vinyl is less protective than polyurethane, it offers a vast range of colors and textures.

Colored polyurethane is a new trend in detailing. Like the matte film, it combines protection and styling. It’s a great option for those who want to radically change their vehicle’s appearance and make it resistant to mechanical and chemical damage.

You can trust the selection of the coating to the professionals at CarEngineering. Our studio collaborates with official manufacturers and independently procures materials. We consult with the client beforehand, selecting the material based on their needs and the vehicle’s specifics. To ensure the authenticity of the film, we’ll unpack the new roll right before your eyes and provide a warranty from both the studio and the manufacturer. For Llumar films, this is 5 and 10 years, respectively. During the warranty period, you won’t need to contact the manufacturer if any issues arise with the film.

Full Wrapping of the Mercedes Benz G W463: Practical, Harmonious, and Safe Since the SUV has been chosen for a visible film, it’s important to cover the entire body. The film will cover all visible parts of the vehicle, creating a cohesive design. This not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also offers several practical advantages:

• A fully wrapped vehicle is less prone to wear and tear. The parts under the film remain in the same condition as they were at the time of application. After removing the film, the body will look flawless.
• The risk of damage is minimal. The film forms a reliable shield around the Mercedes G, protecting it even in minor accidents. If the material is severely damaged from a body snag or collision, you can simply replace the affected part with a new piece of film, leaving the underlying paintwork unharmed.

If there is no film on the vehicle, damage to the part itself becomes a problem for the owner. The Russian market is currently facing a shortage of automotive paint colors. European colors are unavailable, and only Chinese ones are offered, making it extremely difficult to match the factory color. Considering the cost of repairs and related inconveniences, we recommend full wrapping for the G-Wagon.

Our specialists also perform partial wrapping, but this service is only suitable for transparent films. The focus of the partial wrap is on high-risk areas (the front part of the body). If the vehicle is rarely used, this is a good way to protect it, but for daily use, partial protection may not be enough.

For more information on each service, consult our specialist. They can recommend the best option.

Features of Wrapping the G-Wagon The G-Wagon is one of the most challenging vehicles to wrap, but our specialists can handle any task. To properly protect the body with a wrap, many parts must be removed. The specialists remove all moldings, emblems, door handles, turn signals, headlights, bumpers, and the grille. Moldings are removed with a special thread that prevents damage to the paint. All these elements must be removed for a proper wrap, which our specialists do for every vehicle in the studio.

Our company guarantees the safety of disassembly. All modern vehicles are assembled with potential disassembly in mind. Incorrect reassembly is simply impossible. Therefore, the necessary elements are wrapped separately and then safely reinstalled.

Another crucial aspect of wrapping the G-Wagon is thorough preparation. The body is washed, and water spots, grease, wax, and other debris are removed, including from the parts being wrapped.

Wrapping the Mercedes G63 in Matte Film

The vehicle has many curves and edges, and during the wrapping process, the specialist works on each one. It’s essential that the film adheres perfectly to the Mercedes Benz G, and our careful and attentive approach ensures this result.

As for the wrapping process, it is done in the final stage of the wrap, after the specialist has smoothed the film and trimmed the excess with a blade. The wrap is only a few millimeters thick, but it significantly enhances the protection:

• Reducing the risk of material tears during washing.

• Lowering the chances that a stone will damage the film when hitting the edge of a part.

After wrapping, the vehicle is allowed to dry naturally, inspected by a specialist once more, and only then returned to the owner.

Windshield Protection: An Equally Important Part of Vehicle Protection In addition to wrapping the body, the client also ordered windshield film protection. This wrapping primarily protects the windshield from mechanical damage, such as stones, which often lead to glass damage and subsequent repair.

The main reasons to protect your windshield include the costly replacement of damaged glass. Stones frequently hit the windshield on the highway, and replacing it every month would be too expensive. Given the shortage of original spare parts on the Russian market, such a replacement could become an even bigger problem.

If you want to protect your windshield reliably and for a long period, visit our service center. Our specialists use high-quality Clearplex film, which:

• Does not distort visibility—the film for windshield protection is completely transparent, so it doesn’t impair visibility while driving.

• Has excellent water-repellent properties—you’ll need to use your wipers less, and at speeds above 70 km/h, they won’t be needed at all, as dirt and water droplets will be blown away by the wind.

The material’s lifespan is 12-15 thousand kilometers. The durability of the film is also affected by the condition of the windshield wipers. After wrapping, we recommend replacing the wipers with new ones.

For greater vehicle protection, we recommend performing both services together.

Other maintenance tips include regular cleaning of the wipers and wiping the windshield. These actions take less than a minute but will extend the film’s protection against chips.

For the G-Wagon, our studio also performed several other services:

Installation of soft-close door mechanisms—the specialist equipped all doors (including the tailgate) with mechanisms that ensure smooth and secure closing the first time. We also offer mechanisms that retain the signature door-closing click.

Installation of a dashcam on the Mercedes G—it supports Full HD resolution, is controlled via an app, and maintains the dealership warranty.

Installation of electric running boards—simplifies getting in and out of the relatively tall vehicle. You can customize the operation of the running boards to your needs via an app.

Full soundproofing—even a vehicle like the G-Wagon could use better acoustic comfort. A qualified specialist installed premium soundproofing, increasing cabin quietness by more than 6 times.
