By trade · Car detailing & wrapping
This is the one automotive trade where the work photographs beautifully. Full-front PPF starts near PKR 70,000, full body runs PKR 150,000 to 350,000, and a colour wrap sits in the same range. Your feed is the portfolio: swirl marks under an inspection light, film going on, and the reveal in evening sun.
These are the things we hear most from detailing and wrapping studios in the twin cities. If two or three of them sound like your week, everything below is aimed straight at them.
4 themes you can return to forever, so you are never staring at the camera wondering what to say. We build your month out of these.
01
Detailing sells on contrast that the naked eye misses. Swirl marks and water spots only appear under a paint inspection lamp, so every job opens with that light and a slow pan.
02
Nobody outside the trade knows what PPF is. Show the film stretching over a bumper, the tape line, the corners tucked, and name the brand and the price at each stage.
03
Every message you get says 'PPF ka rate?'. Answer it publicly with coverage tiers on one car, and say honestly how long each option survives on twin-city roads.
04
The handover in good light is the shot people stop for. Get the owner's face at the reveal, and let him say on camera what he was worried about when he dropped the car off.
Ranked for this trade specifically, with how often we would post on each.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why it works for this trade |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 5 Reels and 7 stories a week | The work is pure before-and-after, and the DHA and F-7 owners who will spend PKR 200,000 on paint protection browse Reels every night. | |
| TikTok | #2 | 4 to 5 clips a week | Wrap and film clips get watched right to the end by people who have no idea what it costs, and that is exactly the enquiry you want. |
| YouTube | #3 | 2 full-job videos a month, 8 to 15 minutes | A full 'PPF on a Sportage, start to finish' video is what a man watches before committing two lakh, and it keeps ranking for years. |
| #4 | 3 posts a week plus replies in enthusiast groups | Twin-city car and enthusiast groups are where owners ask for a wrap shop by name, and one tagged recommendation there is worth a week of ads. |
Figures as of August 2026. Source: Islamabad Digital Marketing, from managing accounts in these categories.
Front PPF starts around PKR 70,000, full body PKR 150,000 to 350,000, ceramic coating roughly PKR 25,000 to 80,000, and a proper polish with interior detail PKR 12,000 to 25,000. Two full-body jobs a month cover the Pro package and the ad budget together.
Our recommendation for this trade
Pro — PKR 70,000+ per month
The work is visual and constant, and it belongs on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube at the same time. Pro covers three platforms, near-unlimited editing of daily bay footage, and ads aimed at DHA and Bahria owners.
Accounts worth studying before you post anything. We are not affiliated with any of them — they are here because the approach is worth copying.
Instagram · an Islamabad and Lahore detailing studio
They name the films they fit — Xpel, Gyeon, 3M — instead of saying 'imported quality'. Naming the product is what separates a studio from a wrap shop.
Instagram · a few hundred followers on the branch account
The Islamabad branch runs a second, tiny account while the main page carries everything. Splitting a brand across two pages splits the audience too.
Facebook · a Lahore detailing and PPF studio
One car gives them three posts: the dirty before, the film going on, the reveal. Most studios post only the reveal and waste two thirds of the job.
We work across all of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, but these are the areas where this trade clusters — useful if you are working out where your customers come from.
Islamabad
A settled upper-middle-class sector on the western side, popular with doctors, serving officers and retired families. F-10 Markaz carries clinics, dental surgeries, labs, bakeries and bank branches rather than nightlife, and the sub-sector strips fill up after school hours with tuition centres and salons. Fatima Jinnah Park is on its doorstep.
F-11 is apartment Islamabad. Blocks of flats in F-11/1 and F-11/3 keep it younger and denser than the sectors either side, and F-11 Markaz has grown into one of the busiest eating and shopping centres on that half of the city. Property offices, gyms and delivery-heavy kitchens do well here.
E-11 grew out of separate cooperative societies, which is why its streets do not line up like the rest of Islamabad. It is the city's flat belt: young couples, students and bachelors renting apartments, with a mini market in every sub-sector and a crowded Markaz of eateries, hostels and property offices.
I-8 is the best-planned of the I sectors and the one with real office money in it. The Markaz holds banks, private hospitals, coaching academies and corporate branch offices, and the residential blocks are settled professional families. Sitting beside Faizabad and the Expressway, it pulls customers in from Rawalpindi too.
DHA Islamabad runs along the GT Road and the Expressway on the city's southern edge, with Phase II carrying most of the built-up life. Giga Mall pulls shoppers from both cities, and the blocks around it hold showrooms, restaurants, gyms and private schools. Residents skew towards serving and retired officers.
Rawalpindi
The first six phases of Bahria Town Rawalpindi are the settled ones — trees grown in, families moved in years ago. Civic Centre in Phase 4 is the commercial anchor, with a cinema, restaurants and clinics. Customers here check your Instagram before they visit, and they will pay for presentation.
These are the phrases people in this trade actually type. If your page does not answer them, someone else's does.
Packages run from PKR 15,000 to PKR 70,000 a month, and most detailing and wrapping studios start on Pro at PKR 70,000+. The work is visual and constant, and it belongs on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube at the same time. Pro covers three platforms, near-unlimited editing of daily bay footage, and ads aimed at DHA and Bahria owners. A one-time audit of your existing page is PKR 5,000, credited if you go monthly.
Instagram. The work is pure before-and-after, and the DHA and F-7 owners who will spend PKR 200,000 on paint protection browse Reels every night. We would run it at 5 reels and 7 stories a week and add nothing else until that is steady.
before, under the light, film and wrap, close up, price and lifespan — those three alone fill a month. Detailing sells on contrast that the naked eye misses. Swirl marks and water spots only appear under a paint inspection lamp, so every job opens with that light and a slow pan.
Yes, we treat the twin cities as one service area. We see a lot of detailing and wrapping studios around F-10, F-11, E-11, I-8. Most of the work runs over WhatsApp and Drive, and we come to you for the first meeting or a shoot.
You will see the output in week one and the numbers in month one. For a local trade like this, enquiries usually start moving in the second or third month, once there is enough posted for someone to trust that you are still open and still good.
