# MAHINDRA BE 6 – COMPLETE PROTECTION & ACCESSORIES GUIDE

The Mahindra BE 6 is a revolutionary electric SUV that demands protection as advanced as its design. It features a striking 'heart of metal' aesthetic, with extensive **gloss black cladding** on the exterior, **piano black surfaces** inside the cabin, and optional **satin/matte paint finishes**. At **Protint**, we provide specialized protection solutions that preserve this futuristic design while respecting the vehicle's complex electronics and ADAS sensor suite.

> **⚠️ Owner-Verified Protection Protocol**: A BE 6 owner's experience at a Bangalore detailing studio established a critical standard for this model: **Mahindra personnel came to remove the ORVMs and cladding with sensors** to ensure there are no issues with the electronics of the EV. This is the professional-grade approach we follow for every BE 6 .

## 1. ⚖️ SUN FILM LEGALITY – Know the Law

The Supreme Court, in *Avishek Goenka v. Union of India*, held that the use of black films or any other material upon safety glass, windscreen, and side windows is impermissible in law. No black film or any other material can be pasted on the windscreens and side glasses of a vehicle .

### Legal Requirements (Motor Vehicle Act)

| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| **Front & Rear Windscreen** | **70%** |
| **Side Windows** | **50%** |

### Your Legal Sun Protection Options

| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Mahindra Glass** | ✅ 100% Legal | Driving | As equipped |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | ✅ Legal (PARKED ONLY) | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** – remove while driving |
| **Aftermarket Tinted Films** | ❌ Illegal | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** – fines + ADAS interference |

**Important Context**: While the Ministry has indicated it is revisiting the Central Motor Vehicles Act , no amendment has been passed. The Supreme Court ban remains the law.

## 2. ⚠️ CRITICAL: ADAS & SENSOR SUITE

### Sensor Locations by Variant

| Variant | ADAS | 360° Camera | Front Sensors | Rear Sensors | TPMS |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Pack One** | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Pack Two** | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Pack Three Select** | ✅ (1 Radar, 1 Camera) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Pack Three** | ✅ (5 Radars, 1 Camera) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

*Source: *

For higher variants, the ADAS system can include features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Traffic Sign Recognition. These sensors are critical and **must remain unobstructed** .

### Sensor Locations to Protect (By Variant)

| Sensor Type | Location | Variant | Protection Rule |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Front Camera** | Behind windshield | Pack Three Select/Three | 🚫 **NO FILM ON WINDSHIELD** |
| **Front Radar** | Behind front grille | Pack Three Select/Three | ✂️ **Precision cutout required** |
| **360° Cameras** | Front grille, side mirrors, rear | Pack Three (with 360° camera) | 🚫 **NO PPF ON LENSES** |
| **Front Parking Sensors** | Front bumper | Pack Two/Three/Select | ✂️ **Precision cutouts required** |
| **Rear Parking Sensors** | Rear bumper | All variants | ✂️ **Precision cutouts required** |
| **TPMS Sensors** | Inside wheels | Pack Three | Use non-metallic wheel coatings |

### ⚠️ CRITICAL INSTALLATION RULES

1. **DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD**: For ADAS-equipped variants, this will disable safety features .

2. **REMOVE SENSOR COMPONENTS SAFELY**: During PPF installation, **Mahindra personnel must remove the ORVMs and cladding with sensors** to avoid electronics issues. The same team reassembles the parts after PPF application .

3. **NO PPF ON CAMERA LENSES**: For variants with 360° cameras, the lenses must remain unobstructed.

4. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR SENSORS**: All front and rear parking sensors require precise cutouts in any PPF applied .

5. **USE NON-METALLIC FILMS ONLY**: For variants with radar sensors, metallic films can interfere with signals.

## 3. 🛡️ PAINT PROTECTION – The 'Full Body' Standard

### Why PPF is Essential for BE 6

BE 6 owners strongly recommend **full body PPF** for maximum protection. The vehicle's exterior gloss black cladding and interior piano black surfaces scratch extremely easily . PPF is essential to preserve both interior and exterior finishes. One owner estimated the cost at around **₹60, 000** for complete inside and outside protection .

### Real Owner Experience

An owner who got PPF done at Torque Detailing Studio in Bangalore shared:
- **First step**: Thorough inspection
- **PPF Brand**: Neflix PPF (Malaysian) – chosen based on quality and adhesive, not just brand name
- **Interior Protection**: Pre-cut PPF set for all switches and elements, plus touchscreen for ₹7, 500
- **Hydrophobic Coating**: Applied on top of PPF – washes take less than 10 minutes
- **Dashcam Installation**: Offered by detailer, fitted with care to not interfere with side curtain airbags

### Recommended PPF Packages

| Package | Coverage | Estimated Cost |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Full Body Premium PPF** | Complete exterior + interior piano black | ₹60, 000 – ₹90, 000 |
| **Matte/Satin PPF** | Full body matte wrap | ₹70, 000 – ₹1, 00, 000 |
| **Partial PPF** | Front bumper + bonnet edge + mirrors | ₹25, 000 – ₹40, 000 |
| **Interior PPF** | Piano black surfaces + touchscreen | ₹7, 500+ |

### PPF Brands Available

Based on owner experience, these PPF brands are available for the BE 6 :
- **Neflix** (Malaysian) – Used on Firestorm Orange BE 6
- **XPEL** – Premium
- **Avery Denison** – Premium
- **Onyx** – Mid-range
- **Diamond Protech** – Premium
- **Rupes** – Available

## 4. 🔧 INTERIOR PIANO BLACK PROTECTION

BE 6 owners consistently report that the interior piano black surfaces scratch extremely easily .

### Owner-Approved Solution

One owner sourced a **pre-cut PPF set for all switches and elements in the car, along with the touchscreen** for ₹7, 500. This proved to be a worthwhile investment .

### Protection Options for Piano Black

| Option | Cost | Advantages |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Pre-cut PPF Set** | ₹7, 500 | Self-healing, perfect fit, includes touchscreen |
| **Dry-applied PVC Film** | Lower cost | No risk to electronics, but not self-healing |
| **Graphene or Ceramic Coating** | ~₹20, 000+ | Protects but doesn't prevent physical scratches |

**⚠️ Important Caveat on Interior PPF**: One detailer was not in favour of PPF on interior surfaces due to the **wet application which could void warranty** if anything malfunctioned. They suggested a dry-applied PVC film instead .

## 5. 🧪 CERAMIC COATING

Ceramic coating bonds molecularly with your BE 6's clear coat to create a permanent, glass-like protective layer.

### Ceramic Coating Benefits

| Benefit | Detail |
|:---|:---|
| **Hydrophobic Effect** | Water, mud, and road grime bead up and slide off – washes take <10 minutes |
| **UV Protection** | Blocks up to 99% of UV rays, preventing paint fading |
| **Chemical Resistance** | Protects against bird droppings, tree sap, and acid rain |
| **Enhanced Gloss** | Adds deep, mirror-like shine |
| **Durability** | Professional coating lasts 3-7 years |

### Recommended Ceramic Coating Packages

| Strategy | Components | Best For |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **'Full Body' PPF + Hydrophobic Coating** | Full PPF with hydrophobic top coat | Maximum protection; washes take <10 minutes |
| **'Sweet Spot' Combo** | Full Front PPF + Full-body Ceramic Coating | Most owners – physical + chemical protection |
| **Ceramic Only** | Full body Ceramic Coating | Budget-conscious owners |

- **Avoid automatic car washes** with rotating brushes

### Critical Contaminants – Clean Immediately

| Contaminant | Action Required | Consequence of Delay |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Bird droppings** | Clean off immediately | Can etch through PPF |
| **Tree sap** | Clean off immediately | Can stain permanently |
| **Bug splatters** | Clean off immediately | Can leave permanent marks |

### The Golden Rules of Washing

| DO | DON'T |
|:---|:---|
| **Gentle hand washing** | ❌ **Automatic car washes with brushes** |
| **Use pH-neutral car shampoo** | ❌ **High-pressure water directly on PPF edges** |
| **Use soft microfiber mitts** | ❌ **Harsh chemicals or degreasers** |
| **Separate supplies for wheels** | ❌ **Abrasive compounds or waxes** on PPF |

## 8. 🎯 PRO TIP FOR MAHINDRA BE 6 OWNERS

**The 'Dealer to Detailer' Delivery**
The best time to protect your BE 6 is *before* it hits the road. The owner drove directly from the showroom to the detailing studio to avoid any risks on Bangalore roads .

**Your Delivery Day Checklist**:

1. **Dealer Wash**: Instruct the dealership **NOT** to wash the car before delivery.

2. **Immediate PPF**: Book Full Body PPF before the car hits the road. The BE 6's gloss black surfaces are extremely scratch-prone .

3. **Interior PPF**: Essential for piano black surfaces. Ensure pre-cut PPF for switches and touchscreen .

4. **Sensor Component Handling**: Ensure Mahindra personnel remove ORVMs and cladding with sensors for PPF installation .

5. **PPF Brand**: Choose based on quality, not just brand name .

6. **Ceramic Coating**: Apply a hydrophobic coating over the PPF for easy washing .

7. **Dashcam Installation**: If installing, ensure professional installation to avoid interfering with side curtain airbags .

8. **Legal Sun Protection**: Buy magnetic sun shades for parked use. **DO NOT install aftermarket tint**.

9. **Documentation**: Keep records of PPF and coating for resale value.
