In Pakistan’s extreme conditions—45°C+ Lahore summers, dusty motorways, stone chips on GT Road and M2, bird droppings, and constant UV fading—factory paint deteriorates fast. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the only long-term solution that keeps your car looking showroom-new for 7–10 years while boosting resale value by Rs. 100,000–300,000 (real OLX/PakWheels listings 2025–2026).

At Sehgal Motors (16 branches including Lahore, Sialkot, Multan, Faisalabad), we’ve tested dozens of films in real Pakistani traffic. This 2026 guide compares every major brand available today, current prices, what’s legal, installation tips, and honest recommendations.

1. What is PPF and Why Every Pakistani Car Needs It in 2026

PPF is a thick (6–10 mil), transparent or coloured thermoplastic polyurethane layer applied to painted surfaces. It self-heals minor scratches with heat/sunlight, blocks UV rays, repels water/dirt, and absorbs rock chips.

Pakistan-specific reasons it’s essential:

  • Intense UV & heat cause oxidation and fading in 2–3 years without protection
  • Motorway debris & potholes create swirl marks and chips
  • Dust storms and acid rain in Punjab/Sindh accelerate damage
  • Resale boost: Clean, chip-free paint adds significant value in used market

2. TPH vs TPU – Which Type Should You Choose in Pakistan?

Feature TPH (Thermal Plastic Hydrocarbon) TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) – Maximus Premium
Thickness 4–7.5 mil 6.5–13.5 mil
Self-Healing Basic (heat only) Advanced (sun/hot water – heals in Lahore summer)
UV & Heat Resistance Good (yellows after 2–3 years) Excellent (no yellowing 7+ years in 45°C+)
Life 1.5–5 years 5–10 years + lifetime service
Full Car Price (Sedan/SUV) Rs. 70,000–120,000 Rs. 130,000–720,000
Best For Budget cars, partial coverage, older models New/expensive cars, full coverage, max resale

2026 Recommendation: Choose TPU (Maximus) for any vehicle above Rs. 4 million or if you plan to keep it 3+ years. TPH is acceptable for Alto/Mehran if budget < Rs. 100k.
