. Why does the United Alpha’s paint fade quickly under Pakistani sunlight?

Many owners report that the car’s exterior color fades faster than expected, especially in cities with intense heat and UV exposure.
Questions include:

Is the factory paint quality lower compared to competitors?

Does frequent parking in direct sunlight accelerate fading?

Are certain colors like black o r dark blue more prone to fading?

The United Alpha uses basic factory paint and clear coat, which is less resistant to prolonged UV exposure compared to higher-end cars.

In hot Pakistani cities, especially Karachi, Lahore, and Multan, direct sunlight and high temperatures accelerate fading, particularly on darker colors like black, dark blue, and maroon.

Regular exposure without protective measures shade, garage parking, o r UV-protective wax/coating can cause dullness and loss of shine within a few years.

Conclusion: Frequent application of wax o r ceramic coating, and parking in shaded areas, helps maintain paint longevity.
