I am thrilled to share that I finally purchased the XL6 Alpha Plus AT last month. I want to express my gratitude for all the help provided in this forum.
On the same day that I booked the car, I began searching for a paint protection treatment. Booking the XL6 in May, due to my past experiences, I strongly felt this treatment was essential to maintain the car's cleanliness and shine for an extended period, so started my lookout.
My previous car was a Polo that I bought in 2011. At that time, Nirmal and Mohsin performed an Opti Coat ceramic treatment at my doorstep. Without a doubt, that coating significantly enhanced the value of the car, which I used for almost 12 years.
Without a second thought, I realized that paint protection was a necessity for my new car as well.
However, many things have changed over these 12 years – I've aged, no longer an enthusiastic driver, now a father of two kids, needing more space. The detailing options available have increased, and I must mention, they have become much more expensive too.
Thus, I began researching what would be best for my needs: 1. I intend to keep the car for a long time, 2. I'll be spending less time on maintenance – cleaning and waxing, and 3. Using a duster might create swirl marks. After speaking with multiple people in Bangalore, I settled on PPF by Auto Engage, owned by Nirmal. This is a brand new space opened up at Maruthi Nagar, Kogilu, Bengaluru (Nirmal previously owned Keystone)
I was pleased that Nirmal, who worked on my first car, would also work on this one. I'm also delighted to witness his growth in the detailing space – what a significant place Auto Engage has become!
Regarding my treatment, I opted for their in-house imported, 200-micron PPF made in Korea with a 5-year warranty. They required three days for the process and an inspection 10 days after the installation.
Here's a breakdown of what was done during these days:

I was extremely pleased with the care and effort put in by Nirmal's team. Here are some pictures taken during the process.
