# 🚗 Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for Maruti Suzuki Ignis
## 🎮 A Special Note for Ignis Owners
The **Maruti Suzuki Ignis** is a quirky, bold, and uniquely styled urban crossover that stands out in a sea of conventional hatchbacks. Designed with 'Mathematical Precision' and a tall-boy stance, the Ignis has carved a niche for itself since its 2017 launch. With its SUV-like seating, excellent visibility (274mm/10.8-inch ground clearance), and peppy 1.2L K12N DualJet petrol engine (82 bhp, 113 Nm), the Ignis makes city driving a breeze.
The Ignis is built on the lightweight HEARTECT platform, offering exceptional fuel efficiency (up to 20.89 kmpl) and agile handling. Whether you own the base Sigma or the feature-packed Zeta, this is a car that turns heads with its distinct personality. With ex-showroom prices starting from just **₹5.35 lakh** and ranging up to **₹7.55 lakh** , protecting your investment is a smart financial decision.
At **Protint**, we understand that Ignis owners value:
- **Bold aesthetics** – protecting that unique, urban crossover design
- **Practical comfort** – keeping the cabin cool during daily drives
- **Budget-friendly protection** – solutions that offer great value for money
- **Long-term preservation** – maintaining the car's resale value
- **Smart upgrades** – enhancing the driving experience with practical accessories
Every solution we offer for your Maruti Suzuki Ignis is carefully selected to be affordable, durable, and practical, enhancing its fun and functional character.
> **Important Note**: The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is available in multiple variants including **Sigma, Delta, Zeta, and AMT versions** . We tailor our protection packages to your specific variant and budget. The Ignis features Maruti's **HEARTECT platform**, which provides a strong and lightweight foundation.
> **⚠️ Important Legal Note for Indian Ignis Owners**: India has strict window tinting regulations. As per the **Supreme Court ruling of 2012**, aftermarket sun films are **strictly prohibited** regardless of VLT claims. Only factory-fitted tinted glass is permitted. Minimum VLT requirements: Front/rear windshields – **70%**, Side windows – **50%**. Penalties for non-compliance can reach ₹1, 000 with on-the-spot film removal. **We strictly follow the law by recommending removable sunshades (legal only while parked) and factory-fitted tinted glass (OEM option).**
## ⚖️ Legal Sun Protection & Heat Rejection
The Ignis's tall-boy design features a generous glass area that fills the cabin with light but can also let in significant heat, making effective sun protection essential for comfort. Instead of illegal tinted films, we use only legally compliant methods.

## 🛡️ Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Invisible Armor
