Given what I have heard with the maintenance of "Frozen" paint -- safe to say its best to just get metallic version and pay the $5k or whatever it is for stealth PPF instead?

Where did you get it done on Long Island and what PPF did they use? XPEL? Thanks

Honestly Im not sure I like it, seems like the Stealth film takes away whats special about Dravit grey. Might need to see more pic or in person.

I agree. I wrapped my Dravit in just the standard STek DynoShield. I like the stealth idea, but I think it takes away the dynamics of this color, so, I'd imagine you're not going to find too many Dravit cars, wrapped in stealth PPF.

Yeah I'm debating between Dravit and full front clear PPF or Black with full car Stealth. The $1500 savings between Dravit and Black will help the cost for the Full car Stealth wrap at least.

I was planning on stealth + ceramic but after seeing a truck my local shop had on display with the stealth and ceramic I changed my mind. Once they add ceramic it adds a lot more gloss back, which kind of defeats the purpose. I've seen the same effect on pics posted on this forum.

Just get frozen and get a new ride when the paint dims out. Who wants to keep anything forever.

Depends on the look you are going for, it’s a pretty big difference.

I pick up my BSM M4 next Monday. The dealership is leaving all of the protective films on and not washing it. I’m immediately driving it just a few blocks down the road for full stealth PPF.

Having had two other cars with satin wraps, I’ve found that finish to be extremely easy to care for. Chemical Guys matte detailer keeps things perfect.

Did exactly the same except I had car put in trailer as it was 55 miles away. My luck I, rock would scratch it in my way to get wrapped.

Was not aware of this product, will look into it. Will go on a car care shopping spree soon and have been researching for months. Need towels, mitt, barrel brushes, foam cannon, then actual cleaning products.

Foam cannon I’m stumped, on products still trying to decide between chemical guys, adams, or carpro. Overwhelming!
