Gloss (Ultimate) vs Matte (Stealth) PPF
Matte and gloss PPF (Paint Protection Film) have some key differences. Matte PPF has a flat finish that doesn't reflect light like gloss PPF, which has a shiny finish. Matte PPF is great for those who want a stealthy, finish that blends in with the car's paint, while gloss PPF provides a high-gloss finish that gives the car a shiny appearance.
Additionally, matte PPF is known for its ability to hide scratches and swirl marks, which can often be more visible on gloss PPF due to the reflective nature of the film. However, gloss PPF tends to be more durable and easier to clean than matte PPF.
Ultimately, the choice between matte and gloss PPF comes down to personal preference and the desired look for your car.
GLOSS - XPEL Ultimate
Retains Glossy Finish: Gloss PPF is designed to have a high-gloss finish that closely matches the appearance of the original paint. It enhances the visual appeal of the vehicle by providing a smooth, glossy surface that is resistant to fading and dulling over time.
Easy Maintenance: Gloss PPF is easy to clean and maintain. It can be washed and maintained just like the rest of the vehicle's exterior, using regular car wash soaps and microfiber towels. The film's surface resists staining and can be kept looking clean and glossy with minimal effort.
Longevity: High-quality gloss PPF is durable and long-lasting. It is resistant to discolouration, yellowing, and peeling, ensuring that the film maintains its glossy appearance for an extended period. This longevity is especially beneficial for people who want to keep their vehicles looking pristine and protect their investments.
Invisible Protection: Gloss PPF is often designed to be nearly invisible. It is custom-cut to fit specific areas of the vehicle, providing protection without significantly altering the vehicle's appearance.
Matte XPEL STEALTH
XPEL Stealth PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a specific type of PPF designed to provide a matte or satin finish while offering similar protection as traditional gloss PPF. Here are some of the benefits of XPEL Stealth PPF:
Matte/Satin Appearance: XPEL Stealth PPF is specifically engineered to create a non-reflective, matte or satin finish on the vehicle's paintwork. It gives a unique and distinct look to the vehicle, enhancing its aesthetics and allowing for a customized appearance.
Paint Protection: Just like gloss PPF, XPEL Stealth PPF acts as a protective barrier against various external elements, including stone chips, scratches, road debris, insect stains, and UV rays. It preserves the original paintwork and keeps the vehicle's value intact.
Self-Healing Properties: XPEL Stealth PPF often incorporates self-healing technology, which means that minor scratches and swirl marks on the film can heal themselves over time, maintaining the matte or satin finish. This feature helps to minimize the visibility of surface imperfections and reduces the need for frequent touch-ups or repainting.
Easy Maintenance: XPEL Stealth PPF is relatively easy to clean and maintain. It can be washed and cared for like the rest of the vehicle's exterior using regular car wash soaps and microfiber towels. The film's surface is resistant to staining, making it easier to keep the matte or satin finish looking clean and blemish-free.
Invisible Protection: XPEL Stealth PPF, when applied correctly, can be virtually invisible, blending seamlessly with the vehicle's paintwork to maintain a uniform matte or satin finish. This allows for paint protection without significantly altering the original appearance of the vehicle.
THE WEEKLY WRAP UP
It's been another eventful week here at Mr Detail, with our team working diligently to meet all our customers' needs. We're pleased to share that we successfully completed all the vehicles scheduled for this week, ensuring their protection and enhancing their appearance. Here's a breakdown of some of the exciting projects we accomplished:
One of the standout jobs was an Aston Martin, a true beauty, which received our meticulous attention. We applied a full XPEL Ultimate package to the front end of the vehicle, safeguarding it against any potential damage. Additionally, we extended the protection to the sills, ensuring comprehensive coverage and maintaining the vehicle's pristine condition.
Another noteworthy project involved a brand new BMW M40i. For this stunning vehicle, we executed a full body XPEL installation. By applying the protective film across the entire surface, we guaranteed maximum protection against road debris, scratches, and other environmental hazards. The BMW M40i now boasts a flawless finish that will endure for years to come.
Additionally, we had the pleasure of working on a white Ferrari, previously wrapped in XPEL Stealth by our skilled team. In this particular session, we focused on accentuating the vehicle's aesthetic by installing a black roof. This customization not only enhanced the Ferrari's visual appeal but also provided an extra layer of protection against the elements.
Among our other achievements this week, we completed a full front XPEL Ultimate installation on an Audi RS3, ensuring its front end remains unscathed. Furthermore, we embarked on an exciting project involving a Porsche color change PPF. While still in the early stages, we're thrilled to be part of the process that will transform the appearance of this Porsche, giving it a whole new look while simultaneously protecting its original paintwork.
Looking ahead to next week, we're thrilled about the lineup of remarkable vehicles scheduled for our services. We'll be working on a stunning McLaren, a sleek Tesla, two BMWs, and continuing our efforts on the Porsche color change project. Each of these vehicles presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities, and we can't wait to showcase our expertise and deliver outstanding results.
At Mr Detail, we take pride in our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Whether it's protecting high-end vehicles or transforming their appearance, our skilled team is dedicated to providing top-notch service and delivering remarkable results.
