## Our Protection Services
### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Your Verna's Invisible Fortress
The Verna's sharp lines, prominent black chrome grille, and large body panels are stone-chip magnets, especially on highway drives.
**Why You Need PPF on the Verna:**
- **Black Chrome Grille:** Vulnerable to pitting from road debris.
- **Large Bonnet:** Expansive flat surface catches every stone chip.
- **LED Headlamps:** Expensive to replace; will be protected from clouding and impact.
**Verna-Specific PPF Coverage:**
| Coverage Zone | Why It's Critical |
|:---|:---|
| **Full Front (Bumper, Grille, Bonnet, Headlights, Fog Lamps)** | Protects the signature face from highway debris |
| **Door Sills & Handle Cups** | High-wear zones from daily entry/exit |
| **Boot Loading Edge (528L)** | Protects rear bumper from luggage scratches |
| **A-Pillars & Roof Line** | Exposed to debris at highway speeds |
| **Piano Black B-Pillars** | Soft gloss trim scratches easily |
| **ORVMs (Side Mirrors)** | Vulnerable on narrow roads |
| **Lower Rocker Panels** | Exposed to road spray and debris |
| **Rear Bumper Corners** | Vulnerable in tight parking situations |
**Matte PPF – For Titan Grey Matte Finish:**
- If you’ve chosen the stunning new Titan Grey Matte colour, you need specialized matte PPF.
- Standard glossy PPF will create an uneven sheen.
- We use premium matte films (Xpel Stealth or STEK DYNOmatte) that preserve the original satin finish while providing full protection.
**Glossy PPF For Standard Finishes:**
- For colours like Classy Blue, Starry Night, and Atlas White, we recommend high-gloss TPU films that enhance the depth and clarity of the paint.
- Self-healing technology ensures that minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat exposure.
**Premium PPF Brands:** XPEL, STEK, 3M Scotchgard Pro, SunTek.
**PPF Warranty:** 5-10 years depending on brand selection.
### 2. Ceramic Coating – The Showroom Shine Enhancer
For owners who want that deep, liquid gloss without wrapping the entire car, 9H Ceramic Coating is the perfect solution.
**Key Benefits for Verna:**
- **Hydrophobic Effect:** Water, mud, and road grime bead off—washing becomes effortless.
- **9H Hardness:** A sacrificial layer against swirl marks from improper washing.
- **UV Protection:** Prevents fading of the clear coat, especially for dark colours like Classy Blue.
- **Enhanced Gloss:** Amplifies the metallic flake in the paint.
**Ceramic Coating Brands:** Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, GYEON Q2 MOHS EVO, CarPro Cquartz.
### 3. Legal Sun Control & Window Films
**Stay Legal, Stay Cool:** Aftermarket dark sun films are banned in India. We strictly use RTO-compliant nano-ceramic films adhering to **70% VLT for windshields and 50% VLT for side windows**.
**Legal VLT Requirements:**
| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| Front Windshield | 70% |
| Rear Windshield | 70% |
| Side Windows | 50% |
**Our Legal Solutions:**
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Transparent UV-Blocking Film** | Legal – meets 70/50 VLT standards | Heat rejection without dark tint |
| **Factory Rear Window Sunshade** | Legal – OEM accessory | UV protection for rear passengers |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | Legal – removable, RTO-compliant | UV protection when parked |
**Note on Rear Window Sunshade:** The new Verna comes with a segment-first **rear window sunshade**. This is a factory-fitted, 100% legal solution for protecting rear passengers from sun and glare. We can verify proper operation and fitment.
### 4. Windshield Protection Film
The Verna's large, raked windshield is vulnerable to stone chips at highway speeds. Windshield protection film (ClearPlex or ExoShield) is:
- Optically clear – preserves night vision.
- Impact-absorbing – prevents cracks from spreading.
- Self-healing – minor scratches disappear.

- **Full Front PPF is mandatory:** The extra power means you'll be driving more enthusiastically—more speed = more stone chips.
- **Ceramic Coating on wheels:** The 16-inch Diamond Cut alloys will benefit from brake dust protection.
- **Sporty Pedal Covers:** Consider adding for enhanced grip.
- **DCT Cooling:** Allow the DCT to cool after spirited driving.
### Matte Finish (Titan Grey Matte) – Additional Considerations
If you own the new Titan Grey Matte finish:
- **DO NOT use standard glossy PPF:** It will ruin the matte appearance.
- **DO NOT use ceramic coating:** Traditional ceramic coatings will add unwanted gloss.
- **DO NOT use wax or polish:** These will create uneven sheen.
- **Solution:** Matte-specific PPF (Xpel Stealth or STEK DYNOmatte) is required.
- **Cleaning:** Use only pH-neutral, matte-specific shampoos. No waxes or sealants.
