2 installers I have talked to in regards to using the other mentioned brands said they had "mixed reviews" and one would not install that PPF due to previous issues. Maybe it's just the Pacific NW'S environment?

The texture of the film is different, it feels more plastic compared to XPEL feeling rubbery. It makes it harder to do a clean install. Also your solutions have to be different. Suntek doesn't like alcohol too much and it has a haze burn in it if your solution has too much. Most people use alot of alcohol for their tack solution.

The installer of my Suntek Ultra used and suggested I use alcohol to clean spots. It did nothing adverse to the PPF. He even said that the higher the alcohol percentage the better.

BigRuski is probably talking about the underside with adhesive, not the outer surface.

My Supra is being lovingly protected with xpel right now.

My detailer, Nigel at Glos Detailing, UK, doing an amazing job, and going the extra mile keeping me up to date with its progress!

Had my front bumper, whole hood, fenders, and mirrors backs done in XPEL glossy. Looks great! XPEL care package from XPEL also arriving today. :)

Figured Iā€™d post a few more pics within the context of this thread (some of these have been shared elsewhere, but just so that itā€™s here in case someone is specifically looking for Xpel). I finally got the car inspected in Texas and was able to pick up the personalized plates that had been sitting around for the past couple of months - promptly took a picture of it near one of the most Texan things possible - H-E-B. ;)

Thank you for posting! Being headquartered in San Antonio we agree with the H-E-B idea, very Texan and very awesome. Your car looks great!

I am getting mine wrapped in matte with some gloss accents next week in Suntek Ultra. If it looks half as good as yours Iā€™ll be in great shape.

Check out my most recent post Instagram.com/East_Coast_Supra

Just had Automotive Elegance and Unique Car Care prep and install Xpel Ultimate with Stealth accents.

Just like the work on Instagram.com/East_Coast_Raptor
The prep and install came out flawless.
It is very important to make sure the prep work is done correctly. Once the film is on, thatā€™s it. If there are contaminants or defects that havenā€™t been addressed they will show.

AE and UCC are the best in the industry rated top 10 in DuPont Registry

Xpel is the only way to go when it comes to paint protection. I have taken the Raptor though all different conditions and it still looks better than the day I purchased it.

I know the film installed on the Supra will stand up to all the track events and rallies.

We highlighted the front and rear bumpers with stealth along with mirrors caps and door handles.

I will update this post with more photos later this week.

View attachment 20045 Just had my Supra done in XPEL stealth. Looks amazing. I had the mirror caps and headlights/taillights done in XPEL ultimate. The vehicle looks amazing. Laying the 60ā€ across the hood only requires minimal stretching and the shop was able to make it work with a single piece and from their end ā€œminimal effortā€. The hardest part is the tail end where they did have to cut some relief lines but the seams are very well hidden. I couldnā€™t be happier with the results and with the protection XPEL has to offer. The only part that I am not 100% satisfied with is the door handles but I was warned about this prior to installation.
