Black Sapphire Metallic (BSM) with satin PPF body, gloss black trims and gloss roof.
Have been absolutely thrilled with the result! |

Just picked up a new Tanzanite M3 and getting full PPF/tint done this Monday. Can't decide between full stealth (Suntek) PPF or clear PPF on front, sills, roof. The pics on here look awesome, but I'm worried the stealth will look too 'purple'. Any other feedback/experiences? (btw loving this forum so far)

Your pics are definitely swaying me, I went to my guy today and he put a patch on to test. In full sun, definitely still see the flake. And in shade looks nice and dark, with lines. I'm after something unique, but not TOO unique if you know what I mean. Weekend to decide....

How's the maintenance process for a stealth wrap? Can you take it through an automatic car wash?
It's a bit hard to hand wash the car in the winter when your car is covered in salt... And does salt "damage" the matte? |

Dr. Beasley has a great line up of products to keep stealth finished clean with minimal effort.

You should be cleaning off any contaminants as soon as practically possible from the exterior to prevent things eating away at coatings or the material in general. This honestly should apply to any car regardless of PPF or not. Automatic car washes in general cause a lot of clear-coat damage and swirls and are just inadvisable to use. As mentioned, a pH neutral shampoo like Adam's, Chemical Guys, or CarPro Reset are good options. |

As always I'd advise not using them, but you're free to take the risk. |

I think a lot of it comes down to the installation. If you have a crap installer that doesn’t wrap inside the edges of doors, trims, etc. you’re at much greater risk of pealing when using an auto wash. As for care, both my cars are far easier to car for than without the PPF. An auto wash then hand dry brings them up looking great! |
