The title pretty much says it all. I should have asked this sooner. I'm dropping it off for PPF in the morning and I'm on the fence on whether or not to do XPel Stealth.

I love BSM, especially when it has a near perfect finish over it. But at the same time the stealth look really appeals to me.

Decided on Stealth.

I know this is an old post however, I'm in the same position you were in.

Any thoughts on your decision?

Would you do it again or stick to the gloss finish?

I'm leaning towards going for the stealth look.

I responded to your other post, but I can sum up here again. Would I do it again... I'm not 100% sure. There are things that I really like about XPel Stealth over BSM. The matte look appeals to me, you can still see the sapphire through the Stealth, and it is PPF after all. I can always take it off in the future if I'm so inclined. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out and I have zero regrets.

But, I do miss my Ceramic Pro Gold over BSM that I had on my F82.

Both versions are gorgeous.

I know this probably doesn't help your decision though LOL

Thanks again!

What is the Ceramic Pro Gold? Is that a wax coat or something that is sprayed on like paint? Hard to imagine that'd protect against rock chips..??

Ceramic Pro is the company/product. It's a ceramic coating. They have different packages that go from Sport to Gold (Gold > Silver > Bronze > Sport). Gold is 4 layers of their 9H product with a sacrificial layer of Light on top of that. The depth that this gives the paint is off the charts.

Gold has a lifetime warranty as long as you do the annual inspection and maintenance (where they redo the sacrificial layer).

This is my BSM F82 the day it had its Ceramic Pro Gold applied.

I just watched a YouTube video on the Ceramic stuff...seems pretty bad ass!

Do you believe it or is it all hype bs?

Beautiful!

Thanks for that information!

It's definitely not hype. The only drawback to only using a ceramic coating is that it doesn't do much to prevent chipping. If you're at all like me, you'll want at least a frontal PPF (if you're going clear) and then a ceramic coating on top of the finish/PPF.
