### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Your Seltos's Invisible Armour
The Seltos's distinctive 'Tiger Nose' grille, sculpted front bumper, and sharp body lines are magnets for stone chips and road debris. Our transparent, self‑healing PPF acts as an invisible shield, preserving the factory‑finish paint .
**Why Seltos Owners Choose PPF:**
For owners of the **Matte Graphite Edition**, the advice is clear: *'Maintaining matte paint without PPF would be difficult – I‘m glad I did the PPF immediately after delivery'* . Another owner confirmed that the PPF 'has saved me from minor scratches multiple times' .
**Recommended PPF Coverage Areas for Seltos:**
| Area | Why It's Critical |
|------|-------------------|
| **Full Front (Bumper, Bonnet, Fenders)** | High-impact zone for stone chips – Tiger Nose grille vulnerable |
| **Door Edges & Handle Cups** | Wide SUV doors vulnerable in tight spots |
| **Rocker Panels / Side Sills** | Low profile catches road debris |
| **Rear Bumper Loading Area** | Protects when loading luggage |
| **A, B, C Pillars** | Gloss black pillars prone to scratches |
| **Headlights & Taillights** | Prevents yellowing and stone chips |
| **Matte Paint (Graphite Edition)** | Cannot be polished – PPF is essential |
**Seltos Strategic Protection Packages:**
| Package | Coverage | Price (Reference) | Best For |
