I'm doing a full XPEL wrap on my truck next week and trying to decide between Stealth and Ultimate. My truck is Magnetic, which I think will look pretty amazing in Stealth. It's a big commitment though, and I'm not sure if I might get tired of the matte look. I'm planning on looking at a small sample of the Stealth film on my truck tomorrow.

I'm curious what others think, and if any of you have experience with one versus the other.

Thanks in advance.

I did the Stealth on all the matte parts; the bumper, grill, fender flares of my AG truck, but did the rest in Ultimate like daaan. The product looks great, the issue I had with doing the whole truck is caring for a matte finish. I use my truck off road a lot and keeping a matte finish clean is a bit of a PITA. I was also concerned with long term care and durability as the research I've done on it is kind of sparse, I don't think the product has been available for that long.

The Stealth I do have has held up well so far but I notice when I wipe down the truck after a wand wash that those parts have more residue on them and sometimes take a bit of elbow grease. It's not terrible but it's definitely not as easy as the glossy Ultimate stuff.

I think it would look great as a full wrap on Magnetic if the added care isn't an issue for you.

I'm doing a ceramic coat over the wrap, so hopefully that will help with the cleaning. I'm still a little apprehensive, but the Stealth does look amazing.

I have both on my truck. Picture shows the stealth on grey bumper parts/grill, and ultimate on white paint.

That looks great. I'm curious - did you consider doing Stealth everywhere?

I checked out those links. Thanks for posting! He's got one great looking truck. I'd been thinking about doing the same thing with my tailgate - black vinyl where the appliqué would go - but I hadn't seen anyone do it.

I didnt want to wrap the entire truck, but I think stealth on oxford would not look that great.
