Matte looks. Full protection. Zero compromise.
XPEL STEALTH is the only paint protection film engineered specifically for a satin matte finish. It delivers the same elastomeric polyurethane impact protection as our gloss ULTIMATE PLUS film, with a top coat that transforms gloss paint into a rich, uniform satin or preserves the exact look of your factory matte finish. The result is a vehicle that looks like nothing else on the road and stays that way.
XPEL STEALTH gives you the best of both worlds: the look of factory matte paint, with the durability and self‑healing properties of XPEL paint protection film. Whether your vehicle is gloss and you want a satin transformation, or it is already matte and needs proper protection, STEALTH delivers.
Matte paint is famously difficult to maintain. Improper washing, bird droppings, and even fingerprints can permanently damage the finish. STEALTH eliminates that anxiety by sealing the surface under a self‑healing protective layer that washes like normal paint.
Every STEALTH install at our Ann Arbor shop includes prep, decontamination, and a controlled‑environment installation so seams are tight and the satin finish is uniform across every panel.
The difference you will actually see and feel.
A true matte transformation
STEALTH converts gloss paint to a consistent satin finish across every wrapped panel. No orange peel, no shiny patches, no inconsistency between panels. Just a clean, uniform matte that looks like it left the factory that way.
Self‑healing top coat
Light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat, the same as our gloss films. The satin finish repairs itself so you are not left with shiny scuffs on a matte surface.
Matte paint protection done right
Factory matte is nearly impossible to repair if chipped or scratched. STEALTH seals it under a protective layer that absorbs impact, resists contamination, and washes without the risk of polishing in gloss spots.
10‑year manufacturer warranty
Every STEALTH install is backed by the same XPEL 10‑year warranty as ULTIMATE PLUS, covering yellowing, cracking, peeling, bubbling, and delamination. Registered to your VIN.
Fully reversible
Want your gloss back? STEALTH lifts off cleanly without residue when professionally removed. Your original paint is preserved underneath in the same condition it went under the film.
Washes like normal paint
No special chemicals, no fear of streaks, no wax restrictions. A pH neutral shampoo and a clean microfiber mitt is all you need. We include a full aftercare guide at pickup.
Every threat your finish faces, neutralized.
A breakdown of the real-world damage we shield your vehicle from, every season, every commute.
Rock chips and road debris
The same elastomeric polyurethane construction as ULTIMATE PLUS absorbs impact energy before it reaches your paint, whether the finish is gloss or matte.
Bird droppings and bug acid
Highly acidic contaminants that etch matte paint permanently are stopped at the film surface. Wipe off cleanly before they can damage the finish underneath.
Washing damage on matte paint
Matte paint cannot be polished. One improper wash can leave permanent gloss spots. STEALTH eliminates that risk entirely.
Road salt and winter brine
Michigan winters are hard on every finish. STEALTH seals the surface so salt and brine rinse off instead of working into the paint.
How a stealth ppf install goes down.
- 1
Consultation and sample review
We show you a STEALTH sample panel on your vehicle before any commitment. You see exactly how the finish will look on your specific paint color before we begin.
- 2
Decontamination and prep
Full wash, iron decon, clay bar, and alcohol wipe. Every panel is clean and contamination‑free before the film goes on. Skipping this step is the number one reason installs fail.
- 3
Climate‑controlled installation
STEALTH is installed in our filtered, climate‑controlled bays. We bulk‑pattern each panel and hand‑tuck every edge so seams are tight and the satin finish is uniform across every surface.

Inspection and walkthrough
Final inspection under bright LED lighting. We walk you through every panel, review aftercare, and hand over your warranty paperwork and documentation file.
Perfect for the way you actually drive.
Gloss vehicles wanting a matte look
Skip the vinyl wrap. STEALTH gives you a factory‑quality matte finish with 10 years of impact protection behind it.
Factory matte vehicles
The only safe way to protect matte paint long term. One chip on factory matte can cost thousands to repair. STEALTH prevents that entirely.
Luxury SUVs and trucks
Large surface areas benefit most from full body coverage. We have wrapped Escalades, Range Rovers, and full‑size trucks in STEALTH with exceptional results.
Collectors and show vehicles
A full STEALTH wrap is a statement. It is also a serious investment in preserving the vehicle for years of shows, drives, and resale value.
10‑year XPEL warranty, registered to your VIN.
Every STEALTH install is registered directly with XPEL under your name and VIN. The warranty covers yellowing, cracking, peeling, bubbling, and delamination for 10 years. Our installer warranty covers the workmanship of every wrapped edge and seam.

Keep it looking like the day we delivered it.
First 7 days
Avoid pressure washing the edges and skip the automatic car wash. The film needs time to fully bond to the panel.
Routine washing
Hand wash with a pH neutral, matte‑safe shampoo and a clean microfiber mitt. Two bucket method preferred. Dry with a clean microfiber towel.
No wax or gloss enhancers
Wax and gloss detailers will leave shiny spots on the matte finish. Use only matte‑safe products. We provide a recommended product list at pickup.
Self‑healing scratches
Minor surface scratches will disappear with heat. Park in the sun or use a heat gun on low for a few seconds over the affected area.
Snow and salt
Rinse salt off after major winter storms. The film handles it, but rinsing extends the life of the unwrapped panels and the underbody.
