You can pm if you want.

The ultimate has amazing healing properties and I would say the stealth has very good healing properties but their is a difference.

i'm in downtown chicago oand garage park the car but felt i needed this added protection due to our winter, ice, salt, and pot holed streets and grimy roads totallybeat on the paint

There is zero color or shine differences between the Xpel covered areas and non-covered areas on mine in steel grey which i was concerned about.

Also for washing, while i ypically get it hand washed it is OK to run it through a gas station car wash if needed which i've done a couple times and doesnt damage the wrap.

the installer i used in chicago did a very good job. the only questionable area i saw after the install was the "Biturbo" badge area where my installer just cut around that and if you look very closely at that "Biturbo" badge area you can see where it was cut out and the lines. i heard some installers remove the badge or something to avoid that... but its not a big deal to me and you really dont see it especially on a dark steel grey colored car like mine.

here's a pic....

Also did you wrap the headlights and tail lights ?

My car is a CPO , the full hood is clear wrapped and front bumper , that's it , the hood is still good but the bumper needs to be redone , Thanks

Wheels are Nutek. Not sure if they are in business anymore.

19x9 and 19x10. Not sure the offset as they were custom for PSS tires. PSS run way wider than stock PZero.

Headlight have xpel ultimate. Tails have 50% plus Xpel matte.
