What Is XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film?
XPEL Stealth is a premium satin-finish paint protection film (PPF) designed to preserve and enhance matte, frozen, or satin vehicle paints. Unlike standard glossy PPF, Stealth offers a smooth, sheen-like finish that blends perfectly with factory matte paint—or transforms glossy paint into a refined satin look.
It’s engineered with self-healing technology, hydrophobic properties, and long-term durability to keep vehicles looking pristine for years.
What XPEL Stealth PPF Does
1. Protects Matte & Gloss Paint
Matte paint is notoriously difficult—and expensive—to repair. XPEL Stealth acts as a protective barrier against:
- Rock chips
- Road debris
- Minor scratches
- Abrasions
- Environmental contaminants
It keeps matte finishes uniform and blemish-free while also giving gloss paint a factory-like satin transformation.
2. Self-Heals Light Scratches
Thanks to XPEL’s advanced elastomeric topcoat, Stealth PPF can self-heal swirl marks and light scratches when exposed to heat—sunlight or warm water is often enough.
3. Provides a Satin Aesthetic Upgrade
One standout feature is the ability to convert glossy paint into a sleek satin finish, offering a unique custom style without committing to a permanent respray.
4. Shields Against UV Damage & Staining
XPEL Stealth protects paint from:
- UV fading
- Oxidation
- Hard water spotting
- Bird droppings
- Tree sap
- Road tar
Its hydrophobic surface repels contaminants, making cleaning significantly easier.
5. Offers Long-Term Durability
With proper care and professional installation, XPEL Stealth PPF can last 10 years, maintaining both appearance and paint integrity.
