## Why Protect Your Nissan Gravite?
The Gravite is a value-for-money champion, but protecting that value is crucial for future resale. A well-maintained Gravite will hold its own against the used Triber market.
### The Family MPV Reality
- **The Vulnerable 625L Boot:** The massive boot space (5-seat mode) is a luggage workhorse. However, the loading edge is a prime target for scratches.
- **High Ground Clearance:** While great for bad roads, it puts the rear doors and side sills at risk for mud and stone chips.
- **Soft Paint:** Like most mass-market cars, the paint is prone to swirling from machine washes.
- **The Inside Reality:** The Gravite’s light-coloured dual-tone seats (Tekna) and leatherette accents look great but are stain magnets for kids and daily use .

## Our Protection Services for the Gravite
### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – The Invisible Armor
Given the Gravite’s affordability, full-body PPF may exceed the value proposition. However, **targeted protection** for high-wear areas is highly VFM.
**Why 'Partial' PPF is Essential for the Gravite:**
| Benefit | What It Means for Your Gravite |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Stone Chip Defense** | Shields the new, aggressive honeycomb grille and bonnet edge. |
| **Self-Healing Technology** | Minor scratches and swirl marks vanish with heat exposure. |
| **UV Protection** | Prevents the white and silver paint from yellowing. |
**Gravite‑Specific PPF Coverage Areas:**
| Coverage Zone | Why It’s Critical |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Full Front Bumper** | The prominent redesigned nose is a stone-chip magnet on highways . |
| **Door Sills & Handle Cups** | High-wear zones from daily family entry/exit. |
| **Boot Loading Sill (625L)** | **Essential.** Protects the rear bumper from luggage scratches. |
| **Side Sills** | Protects from kicked-up gravel. |
| **Roof Rails (Base)** | Protects the paint under the roof rails from rust if debris gets trapped . |
**Premium PPF Brands:** XPEL, STEK, 3M.
### 2. 9H Ceramic Coating – The 'Family Gloss' Enhancer
For owners who want that 'new car shine' for years, ceramic coating is the perfect solution. It bonds with the clear coat to provide a durable, hydrophobic layer.
- **9H Hardness:** Sacrificial layer against swirl marks from improper washing.
- **Hydrophobic Effect:** Water, dust, and bird droppings slide off—washing becomes effortless.
- **UV Protection:** Prevents the soft paint from fading, especially on the large roof area.
- **Easy Cleaning:** The 'just-waxed' shine lasts for years, not weeks.
**Ceramic Coating Brands:** Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, GYEON Q2 MOHS EVO.
### 3. CNG Protection: A Unique Challenge
The Gravite is available with a unique **Retrofit CNG Kit** (₹82, 999) featuring two vertically stacked 25-litre tanks in the boot .
**Protection Considerations for CNG Owners:**
- **Boot Mat (Heavy Duty):** You lose the spare tyre well often, but the floor still gets scratched. A high-wall PVC mat is essential .
- **Badging:** If you opt for the CNG kit, ensure the dealer fits it without scratching the plastic trims.
- **Warranty Compliance:** The kit comes with a **3-year/1, 00, 000 km third-party warranty** (Motozen). Ensure the installation is seamless to avoid rattling in the cabin .
