Self Healing
When exposed to heat, the enhanced clear coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks over time.
Sleek Satin Finish
With an unique satin finish, STEALTH helps match most factory flat paint jobs and virtually disappears on most surfaces. With a finish that’s uniformly smooth, you can add STEALTH to your matte or gloss paint job for a unique satin finish.
Easy Maintenance
Flat finishes are notoriously difficult to maintain and even harder to repair. STEALTH enables you to easily wash and dry your car without damaging its sheen.
Transform & Protect: XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film
For automotive enthusiasts who demand a unique aesthetic without compromising on world-class protection, XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the ultimate solution. At Enthusiast Auto Works, we specialize in flawless, custom-wrapped Stealth PPF installations for luxury, exotic, and advanced EVs across Westchester, Manhattan, Greenwich, CT, and Alpine, NJ.
Whether you are looking to preserve a rare factory matte finish or completely transform your gloss paint into a head-turning satin masterpiece, XPEL Stealth delivers unparalleled self-healing protection with a stunning visual upgrade.
XPEL Stealth vs. Regular PPF: What is the Difference?
Traditional Paint Protection Film (like XPEL Ultimate Plus) is optically clear and designed to be completely invisible, acting as a high-gloss shield over your factory paint.
XPEL Stealth, on the other hand, is engineered with a specialized satin finish. Instead of reflecting light like a mirror, it diffuses light to create a smooth, flat, “frosted” appearance. Despite the difference in finish, Stealth offers the exact same elite level of protection as regular PPF. It features industry-leading self-healing technology that makes swirl marks, light scratches, and rock chips disappear with the application of heat, while shielding your vehicle from UV fading, bird droppings, and road debris.
Mandatory Protection for Factory Matte Paint
If you own a vehicle with factory matte or “frozen” paint—such as Mercedes-Benz Magno, BMW Frozen, or Porsche’s custom satin options—XPEL Stealth is an absolute necessity.
Unlike traditional gloss paint, factory matte paint is notoriously fragile and incredibly difficult to maintain:
- You Cannot Polish Matte Paint: If a factory matte finish gets a micro-scratch or swirl mark, you cannot buff or polish it out. Polishing will create a shiny bald spot on the paint, ruining the finish.
- Repainting is a Nightmare: Matching a factory matte finish after a rock chip or minor scrape is incredibly difficult and often requires repainting entire panels to blend properly.
By applying XPEL Stealth over factory matte paint, you preserve the exact manufacturer look while creating an impenetrable, self-healing barrier. You can wash your car with peace of mind, knowing the delicate paint underneath is perfectly preserved.
The Ultimate Upgrade: Gloss to Satin Transformation
You don’t need to buy a matte car to enjoy the satin aesthetic. One of the most popular services we offer at Enthusiast Auto Works is the Gloss-to-Stealth Transformation.
Applying XPEL Stealth over a standard high-gloss paint job instantly converts the vehicle’s appearance to a sleek, custom satin finish. The film allows the original metallic flakes and color of your car to shine through, but mutes the harsh reflections.
- Two Upgrades in One: You get a complete, bespoke restyling of your vehicle while simultaneously applying the industry’s best physical armor.
- Fully Reversible: Unlike a custom matte paint job, which permanently alters the vehicle’s value, XPEL Stealth can be safely removed years later, revealing the pristine, untouched factory gloss paint underneath.
Elite Installation for Elite Vehicles
A premium film is only as good as its installer. Because Stealth film changes the finish of the car, any exposed glossy edges will immediately ruin the illusion. Our certified XPEL installers at Enthusiast Auto Works meticulously wrap all panel edges and utilize precision-cut templates to ensure a seamless, invisible installation.
