The Dr Beasleys worked but the mark is still there to my eye but its reduced so Ill endorse the product with 5 stars. The key now for me is do I even want to respray which is probably not a good idea since its cleaned up about 50%.

Thought this was the right place to ask:

- everyone on this thread use and recommend Xpel Stealth on their full front with no color/matte depth difference between areas covered and not covered?
- any issue with using a water only spray washer especially in the winters when hand washing inside is next to impossible in Toronto?

- what about then ceramic coating the whole car? Seem like there are variations of the coatings as well?

ceramic coating does not protect road debris/salt/stone against paint chipping esp. in the winter time.

So what exactly is the benefit of ceramic pro coating esp if ppl have trouble with water spots?

Did whoever applied the clear bra clay the car first? My installer is saying that he clays the car before he installs the film. He has done many matte cars to my knowledge but clay sounds scary on matte paint.

From what I understand, using a clay bar on matte paint is an absolute no no.............I've seen this advice from a few matte products suppliers

Yeah I’m going to have request he does not do this. He is a very very good detailed that works on very rare car collections. Why I found it strange he said clay on matte.

guess it depends on what the stain is, but for oils or sealants I’ve had good luck with car pro multi-x and/or eraser. rubbing alcohol has worked also. Whatever you do don’t rub too hard.

my car is fully matte ppf’d and ceramic coated now - no more worries.
