Here's stealth on a Shadow Black truck. Any sort of panel lines and such aren't too noticeable unless you really start examining the truck closely. I'm pretty damn happy with it to be honest.

Looks really great. A couple of questions for you.

- How easy is it to clean?
- Does it get more or less dirty any more quickly than standard black?
- have you gotten it very dirty? I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my raptor, but I plan on using it off-road once a month or so, was wondering how the stealth would hold up.
- Did you do a ceramic on top of the xpel?

Thanks in advance, I know it's a bunch of questions.

Is it obvious I don't come here that often? Answers...very easy to clean, shows dirt a lot less than gloss black, unlike clear Xpel it is not self healing so if you scratch it up offroad you will likely need to replace sections, you can topcoat it with a ceramic coating. :)

Stealth is self healing too. I have it on my truck.

From Xpel's website:

"Built with the same elite self-healing and protective features as our XPEL ULTIMATE film, XPEL STEALTH comes in a satin finish..."

Yeah my installer said stealth was the same as ultimate in healing regards. Glad you found it.

Would you mind posting some pics of the stealth over magnetic? I'm on the fence about getting it due to the price, but I feel like it would look amazing on magnetic.

Thanks!

Honestly, it doesn't photograph that well. At least, it doesn't photograph that well when I'm the one taking photos. It looks great in person however, and gets a lot of comments and questions. In fact I've had more people ask me about the finish than the truck itself.
