GEN 2 XPEL stealth vs ultimate

[BajaFred]

Google xpel stealth and white, silver, etc

It looks good but you can't really tell as much as darker colors since lighter colors are inherently less reflective

I did the Stealth on all the matte parts; the bumper, grill, fender flares of my AG truck, but did the rest in Ultimate like daaan. The product looks great, the issue I had with doing the whole truck is caring for a matte finish. I use my truck off road a lot and keeping a matte finish clean is a bit of a PITA. I was also concerned with long term care and durability as the research I've done on it is kind of sparse, I don't think the product has been available for that long.

The Stealth I do have has held up well so far but I notice when I wipe down the truck after a wand wash that those parts have more residue on them and sometimes take a bit of elbow grease. It's not terrible but it's definitely not as easy as the glossy Ultimate stuff.

I think it would look great as a full wrap on Magnetic if the added care isn't an issue for you.

Get your wrapped parts paint coated and it will stay super easy to wash!

Stealth on whites, greys, silvers and some blues looks really good. Stealth makes it look like its painted with a satin finish. Not quite matte but not quite gloss either. Right in the middle. Stealth looks sick! From what I have seen so far if you want Stealth over regular XPEL Ultimate plan on spending about an additional $1k depending on your installer.

I have both on my truck. Picture shows the stealth on grey bumper parts/grill, and ultimate on white paint.

How about a pic of whole truck

I'm doing a full XPEL wrap on my truck next week and trying to decide between Stealth and Ultimate. My truck is Magnetic, which I think will look pretty amazing in Stealth. It's a big commitment though, and I'm not sure if I might get tired of the matte look. I'm planning on looking at a small sample of the Stealth film on my truck tomorrow.

I'm curious what others think, and if any of you have experience with one versus the other.

Thanks in advance.

What did you decide to go with? I'm considering a full stealth wrap as well when my Magnetic SCrew lands first week of May.

You will see lines in stealth wrap on entire truck. If you are ok with that than go for it. Panels would have to be removed to do it right but costs go way up ($10k).

Ceramic coats on xpel hurt self healing benefits of the film. Just use sonax polymer.

I went with the Stealth. The deciding factor was that I wanted my truck to look a little different. I don't have any great pictures yet, but I'll post some when I do. I hit the road the day I picked it up from being wrapped so it's covered in dirt now.

Here's stealth on a Shadow Black truck. Any sort of panel lines and such aren't too noticeable unless you really start examining the truck closely. I'm pretty damn happy with it to be honest.

I think you and I are the only 2 people in the world that know this

I keep telling my detailers, they keep trying to OC my PPF

Looks awesome. What'd it run you?
