The details
How to Choose.
Straight answers from an XPEL Authorized Dealer in North Hollywood.
Keep the Factory Look
On gloss paint, Ultimate Plus is the choice if you want the car to look untouched.
Protect Matte Paint
Satin and matte factory paint needs Stealth. Gloss film would make the panels shiny.
Change the Look
Stealth over gloss paint turns the whole car satin and protects it at the same time.
Full Front or Full Body
Either film can cover just the high-impact areas or every painted panel.
Coat It After
Ceramic coating works over both films. Fusion Plus Satin is made for Stealth.
