Want to turn heads on the streets of Manhattan? XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film transforms any gloss-finish vehicle into a stunning satin matte — while simultaneously protecting your paint from rock chips, scratches, and the daily hazards of city driving. It’s the ultimate combination of style and protection, and Enthusiast Auto Works is one of the only XPEL Certified Installers in the tri-state area offering this premium film with complimentary pickup and delivery throughout Manhattan.
What Is XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film?
XPEL STEALTH is a revolutionary paint protection film that does something no traditional wrap or coating can: it converts a glossy paint finish into a smooth, luxurious satin matte appearance while providing the exact same rock chip and scratch protection as XPEL’s flagship ULTIMATE PLUS film. Unlike vinyl wraps that sit on top of your paint and can trap moisture underneath, XPEL STEALTH bonds directly to your clear coat, actually protecting it while transforming the look.
The result is a head-turning satin finish that’s completely reversible — when you’re ready to go back to gloss (or when you sell the car), simply remove the film to reveal your original factory paint in pristine condition underneath. This is one of the reasons Manhattan car enthusiasts and collectors love XPEL STEALTH: it’s a style statement that also preserves resale value.
Why XPEL Stealth Is Taking Over Manhattan Streets
Walk through any Manhattan parking garage or cruise down Park Avenue, and you’ll notice the matte finish trend is everywhere — and it’s only growing. Matte Porsche 911 GT3s in SoHo. Satin black Range Rovers on the Upper East Side. Matte gray BMW M4s in Tribeca. The problem? Factory matte paint is extremely difficult and expensive to maintain. It shows every fingerprint, can’t be machine-polished if scratched, and requires special care products.
XPEL STEALTH solves every one of these problems. Because the satin finish comes from the film — not the paint — maintenance is straightforward. The film’s self-healing top coat means light swirls and scratches vanish with heat. You can wash it normally. And if a panel gets damaged, you simply replace that section of film rather than repainting an entire panel of factory matte paint (which can cost thousands).
XPEL Certified Installation — Precision That Matters
XPEL STEALTH installation requires even more precision than standard clear PPF because any imperfection is more visible on a matte surface. That’s why choosing an XPEL Certified Installer is critical. At Enthusiast Auto Works, our technicians use XPEL’s DAP (Design Access Program) software for computer-cut templates specific to your vehicle, ensuring perfect fitment on every panel. Installation takes place in our climate-controlled, dust-free facility — conditions that are essential for a flawless matte finish.
Every XPEL STEALTH installation from Enthusiast Auto Works comes with XPEL’s 10-year manufacturer warranty, protecting against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination. This warranty is only valid through certified installers — another reason to trust the professionals.
Popular XPEL Stealth Configurations for Manhattan Clients
Full Vehicle Stealth Wrap: The complete transformation. Every painted surface is wrapped in XPEL STEALTH for a uniform satin matte finish from bumper to bumper. This is our most requested configuration for Porsche, Range Rover, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, and Tesla owners who want the full matte look with complete paint protection.
Stealth + Gloss Accent Combo: A sophisticated two-tone effect using XPEL STEALTH on the body panels with XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS (gloss) on accents like mirror caps, roof, or lower trim. Creates a factory-custom appearance that stands out in Manhattan traffic.
Partial Stealth — Hood & Roof: A more subtle approach that adds satin matte to high-visibility panels while keeping the rest of the vehicle in its original gloss. Popular with Manhattan car owners who want a unique look without a full commitment.
Factory Matte Protection: If your vehicle already came with factory matte paint (like BMW Frozen finishes, Mercedes designo magno, or Porsche PTS matte colors), we install XPEL STEALTH to protect that factory matte finish — preventing the staining, marring, and irreversible damage that factory matte paint is notoriously prone to.
