Xpel Ult vs Suntek Ultra vs Vinyl wrap

Jayrod said:

I've had Xpel vehicles a long time no issues ever. I used suntek once when the installer was low on Xpel, seemed about the same. One thing suntek doesn't have is the patterns for the wide variety of vehicles. That's all Xpel not to mention Xpel is slightly thicker, people can claim it's the base liquid but brass tax it's thicker. The headlight thing is BS btw. I've had Xpel on my other vehicles headlights for years 0 issues, same for my raptor.

Serious question: Is this really worth it? Granted my truck will be a concrete queen, so maybe this is for more of you serious off-road gents. Thanks!

Well especially if you get aftermarket wheels that stick out, you'll be kicking a ton of rocks up onto your doors. If you know you're gonna keep the truck for 5+ years, and are ocd, I'd say ya. If keeping it stock, never off roading, and only keeping for a year or two, then don't do it

Well I ordered 20" Rotiform with K02 tires, so I guess I need to throw this in the budget?

I'll be honest I would. You can limit the places you put it and save some coin. You don't even notice it on the vehicle you have to get right up on the vehicle to see it. Just make sure you check it over good after a few days of drying, sometimes installers will say it will " eventually" go away. Make them fix it.

All sources say that Suntek Ultra is the better product. That's why I went with it. I did quite a bit of research prior.
They did say that they couldn't do the headlights because it could void my warranty. Somehow it creates more head within the light. Or damages the film. Idk

What information and facts do you have to back this up? Are you comparing apples-to-apples, latest product vs. latest product?





"All sources say that Suntek Ultra is the better product." WTF is this?! "All sources?!" Who are your sources, Suntek installers?!

And then you follow that fluff up with "they say" you couldn't cover your headlights because it will "void your warranty. Somehow it creates more heat within the headlight. Or damages the film."

Nothing but nonsense!

My sources say your sources are bogus. Do tell us who told you film shouldn't be put on headlights!

I did my research. Went with Suntek Ultra. Go with xpel if you'd like. Called at least 5 installers and read multiple threads online. That's what lead me to my decision. Now change your text color so that people can actually read it

My opinions is based on having xpel on my bmw x5 before i sold it and it got quite yellowish after 4 plus years. Meanwhile my friend has a mustang with suntek and it looks still as good as when applied 5 years later.

I would go with Suntek (which i did)

Also not sure what the other guy is talking about i have suntek on my raptor headlights with zero iasues.

My opinion is just that an opinion but it is based on experience with both products
