Customer Review


Let’s face it. Borophene isn’t cheap. Especially when your local detailer is offering ceramic coating for ₹3,999 with a free polish and dashboard wipe-down thrown in. On paper, it feels like you’re paying five times more for something you can’t even see. But look closer, and the numbers start to make sense. The problem with cheap coatings is simple. They don’t last. They don’t come with maintenance. And they don’t give you peace of mind. You pay less now, and then you keep paying - in time, in repaint jobs, in resale value lost.


Borophene flips that logic. You pay once, and you’re done. The gloss holds. The protection holds. And your weekends stay free. So the question isn’t “Is ₹21,995 expensive?” It’s “Isn’t it more expensive to keep doing the same coating every year and still watching your car dull?”




What exactly are you paying for with Borophene?


Borophene isn’t just a harder or shinier version of ceramic. It’s a different beast. SHiFTUP’s 10H+ borophene coating plan includes a full-body application, a seven-year guarantee, annual maintenance at no extra cost, and doorstep service. That means we don’t just coat and leave. We come back every year to make sure it still performs. You also get pre-coating polishing, UV and dust resistance, water spot protection, and full after-service support. It’s not just a coating. It’s a paint protection plan for seven years. You set it and forget it.




Why does it feel expensive compared to ceramic?


The price of borophene only feels high because we’re used to comparing it with quick fixes. Ceramic lasts a year or two at best. It fades, chalks, or starts showing swirl marks. Most ceramic jobs don’t include maintenance, and they expect you to take time off to visit a studio. If you account for the time, effort, and repeat costs, ceramic ends up more expensive per year. Borophene, on the other hand, holds steady. You’re not paying for rework. You’re not repainting panels. And you’re not wondering when your gloss will vanish.




What value are you actually getting for ₹21,995?


Let’s talk in terms car owners understand. A full paint job on a standard car starts around ₹35,000 and goes higher. Swirl removal? That’s another ₹5,000–₹10,000 every few months if you want it done right. Now factor in resale. A well-maintained car with a deep, consistent gloss can sell for ₹25,000–₹50,000 more depending on the model. Borophene protects all of that. It’s like buying insurance - not for accidents, but for aging. And unlike insurance, it actually improves your experience daily. You see the shine. You feel the difference. You stop worrying/




Are people actually happy with the results?


Yes. And they’re not luxury car owners either.


One Scorpio-N owner in Kolkata said he thought the price was too much - until he saw the finish and got a free touch-up call six months later.


A Hyundai Exter owner in Delhi said her family used to repaint her dad’s car every two years. Since getting borophene, she hasn’t touched it.


A Brezza driver in Hyderabad did the math and realized that two ceramic coatings plus maintenance already cost more than borophene - and gave worse results.



Once you see how little upkeep is needed, and how long the gloss lasts, you get why people call it their best coating decision.




Is Borophene overkill for regular car owners?


It depends on how long you plan to keep your car. If you’re someone who changes cars every 12 months, maybe you don’t need this level of care. But if you’ve bought a car that you plan to keep for at least five years - and you want it to stay looking sharp - borophene is not overkill. It’s peace of mind. Especially in Indian metros where bird droppings, acid rain, UV damage, and water stains are a constant battle. The longer you plan to own your vehicle, the more borophene makes sense.




Is it really a one-time commitment?


That’s the idea. Think about all the services you pay monthly for - your OTT subscriptions, your gym, your internet. You pay regularly and still don’t get seven years of guaranteed results. With borophene, it’s a single payment. No renewals. No reworks. No repeat trips. We coat, we maintain, and we keep you updated every year. You pay once, and we take it from there.




Final thoughts on the price


₹21,995 might sound like a big number at first glance. But when you compare it to the ₹30,000 you’ll eventually spend on repeated ceramic coatings, swirl fixes, and repaints - it’s actually the smarter deal. If your car cost ₹10–15L, why skimp on the only thing that protects how it looks, how it sells, and how it feels every time you drive?


Borophene isn’t for everyone. But if you’re tired of redoing your coating every year, and you want something that genuinely works without babysitting, this is the upgrade that finally pays off.
