satin PPF anyone yet?

any new W223 owners do a full satin ppf on theirs? will likely do stealth xpel on my selenite once received. considered ordering magno selenite, but i preferred having the protection of ppf whilst still obtaining the style.

Different vehicle, but I got my GT4D done with Xpel Satin PPF.
Cirrus Silver. now with Satin finish. she gets so many looks. the finish is very subtle.

Geeeeeorgous! Favorite color and probably even better than mango paint as it’s hard to maintain.

satin xpel is different than its stealth version?
i just thought "stealth" is their branding for the satin format.

Xpel's official name for the satin finish PPF is Stealth.
I went this route instead of magno paint, because this allows me to go through carwashes and have a matte finish.

yup. she's pretty schweet.
when my W223 arrives, I think I'm going to Xpel Stealth PPF that as well.

anyone here know/experience the difference between xpel stealth vs suntek matte?
difficult to tell thru online photos, but it appears suntek's version tends to be duller and less reflective (less satin) than xpel's.
i prefer a bit more satin shine for my selenite...leaning towards xpel stealth.

any suntek matte owners here can attest?

I've never seen Suntek product. so I can't comment on that, but.
also, don't forget that this is for Paint Protection Film. not a thin wrap. I did Xpel PPF to get the anti-stone chip protection. the Stealth finish was just added bonus for me.
I'd recommend the thickness of Suntek PPF for sure.

for the finish for Xpel Stealth, it's definitely very "satin" in real life. not flat matte.
kinda "frosty" if I can describe it so. I love the finish.
