What is Stealth PPF?
Stealth PPF (also called matte PPF or satin PPF) is paint protection film with a non-glossy finish. Unlike standard clear PPF that maintains your paint's shine, stealth PPF transforms glossy paint into a sophisticated matte appearance.

Stealth PPF FAQs
What is stealth PPF?
Stealth PPF is paint protection film with a matte or satin finish instead of glossy clear. It transforms your vehicle's appearance from glossy to a sophisticated matte look while providing full rock chip and scratch protection.
What is the difference between stealth PPF and regular PPF?
Regular PPF is crystal clear and maintains your paint's original glossy finish. Stealth PPF has a satin/matte finish that transforms glossy paint to a non-reflective, military-style matte appearance. Both provide identical protection levels.
Can I put stealth PPF on glossy paint?
Yes! Stealth PPF is specifically designed to transform glossy paint to a matte finish. The best part? It's completely reversible—remove the film and your original gloss paint is perfect underneath.
How much does stealth PPF cost in Arizona?
Stealth PPF typically costs 15-25% more than standard clear PPF due to the specialty finish. Full front stealth PPF starts at $1,599+, track packages at $3,499+, and full vehicle stealth wraps at $6,999+.
What brands make stealth PPF?
The most popular stealth PPF is XPEL Stealth, which we install. Other options include 3M Matte and SunTek Matte. XPEL Stealth is our recommendation for Arizona due to its superior self-healing properties.
Does stealth PPF have self-healing properties?
Yes! XPEL Stealth features the same self-healing technology as XPEL Ultimate Plus. Minor scratches disappear with heat—Arizona's sun actually activates this feature naturally.
How long does stealth PPF last?
Stealth PPF lasts 10+ years with proper care, just like standard PPF. It comes with a manufacturer warranty and won't yellow or peel when properly installed and maintained.
Is stealth PPF good for Arizona heat?
Stealth PPF is excellent for Arizona. The matte finish can actually reduce heat absorption compared to glossy finishes, and the UV-stable film protects your paint from Arizona's intense sun damage.
