# 🚗 Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for Mahindra Bolero & Bolero Neo
## 🛡️ A Special Note for Mahindra Bolero Owners
The **Mahindra Bolero** is not just an SUV; it is a **legend**—a symbol of rugged durability, no-nonsense utility, and Indian engineering resilience. For over 25 years, the Bolero has been the backbone of rural and semi-urban India, trusted by small business owners, fleet operators, and families who demand reliability over flash. With over **1.68 million units sold** since its launch, it remains one of India's most beloved and enduring nameplates.
The **2026 Mahindra Bolero** lineup continues this legacy with significant updates. The commercial-focused **Bolero Camper** and **Bolero Pik-Up** have received a revised front fascia, new decals, body-coloured ORVMs and door handles, and enhanced comfort features including reclining driver seats, rear headrests, central locking, and factory-fitted air conditioning on select variants . A key addition is the **iMAXX telematics solution** on select Camper variants, enabling real-time vehicle data, fuel tracking, and geofencing for fleet operators .
The passenger-focused **Bolero Neo** continues to offer the 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine (100 bhp, 260 Nm) with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 2026 range starts from **₹7.99 lakh** for the B4 variant, extending up to **₹11.03 lakh** for the top-spec B8 . The recently launched 2026 Bolero Camper starts at **₹9.85 lakh** (ex-showroom) .
> **⚠️ Important Note on Indian Legal Compliance**: Under the Supreme Court ruling of 2012 and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, **aftermarket sun films are strictly prohibited in India** . Violations can result in fines ranging from **₹500 to ₹1, 000**, with on-the-spot film removal . Only **factory-fitted tinted glass** with the correct VLT is legally permitted. **Removable sunshades may only be used when the vehicle is parked** and must be removed while driving .
## ✨ Legal Sun Protection for the Bolero
The Bolero's boxy design and large glass area make effective sun protection essential—whether you're carrying passengers, cargo, or family. Instead of illegal tinted films, we use only legally compliant methods.
### ✅ What IS Legal
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|----------|----------|----------|
| **Factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM) | ✅ Always legal | Permanent UV/heat protection |
| **Removable mesh sunshades** | ⚠️ **Parked only** | Parked protection, interior preservation |
| **Windshield sunstrip** | ✅ Legal (max 15cm height) | Glare reduction |

> **Important**: The Supreme Court ruling was enacted due to safety concerns—criminal activities were being carried out in heavily tinted vehicles. Additionally, law enforcement found it difficult to identify suspects or ensure pedestrian safety with dark films .
## 🛡️ Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Invisible Armor
The Bolero's large, boxy panels and distinctive grille are highly susceptible to stone chips and parking lot scratches. A high-quality PPF acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing impacts that would otherwise damage the paint. Since the Bolero commands strong resale value (over 1.68 million units sold), a pristine paint job is a valuable investment.

We also provide post-installation care instructions to ensure maximum film longevity. The **iMAXX telematics system** on select Camper variants requires careful film application around sensor areas .
