    PPF - stealth vs clear??

    So I'm about to take delivery of my new car and I'm torn as to which way to go. I really liked the way stealth Xpel looked but seemed to be something everyone with a Nardo Grey car is doing.
    I do however like the shine you get off a newly waxed car. I've never had a Matt painted car before and I'm nervous it may just be a phase.

    Any thoughts for or against nt? I know ultimately is mostly an esthetic and personal choice but curious to hear what you guys have to say that have had the stealth look.

    Matte paint and PPF are totally different. PPF is the route to go if you're set on matte. I like the way Misano Red Pearl looks so I just did regular clear PPF over my entire vehicle.

    Sorry - to be clear, I'm only talking about the options to PPF the car. Not paint jobs.

    Trying to figure out which film to use to protect the paint job

    The stealth looks best on metallic or even better, pearl effect paint (for Audi: Daytona gray, sepang blue, Misano red, etc.). Because the pearl effect still sparkles through despite the overall matte/satin look of the car. Stealth wrap on a flat paint like nardo literally looks like a very well-applied primer.
