XPEL STEALTH PPF: The Ultimate Satin Finish for Your Car in Ottawa

Glossy paint isn’t for everyone. The subtle, modern look of satin/matte has exploded in popularity—but it’s also famously unforgiving to maintain. XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film (PPF) solves that problem. It gives you the satin style you want and real-world protection for Ottawa roads and winters.

Whether you’re preserving factory satin (think BMW “Frozen” lines as a well-known example) or doing a full STEALTH conversion from gloss to satin, here’s how to get the look—without the headaches.

Protect Factory Satin Paint (BMW “Frozen” and other OEM satin/matte)

Automakers now offer satin/matte finishes as premium options. They look incredible—and cost more—but they’re also much harder to maintain than gloss.

  • You can’t polish satin paint. Unlike gloss, polishing removes the texture and turns it shiny, permanently altering the finish.

  • Scratches, etching, and water spots are harder to correct and costly to fix.

  • Repaints often don’t match the original tone or sheen perfectly.

This is where XPEL STEALTH PPF is essential. It’s a clear aliphatic urethane film with a satin topcoat that acts like an invisible shield against rock chips, fine scratches, and environmental damage—without changing the OEM satin look. Enjoy the design you paid for, minus the stress.

Smooth transition to the next idea: Love the satin style but don’t want to pay the OEM premium—or live with the maintenance risks? That’s where a STEALTH conversion comes in.

STEALTH Conversion: Turn Gloss Into Satin (on Any Make or Model)

A STEALTH conversion uses XPEL STEALTH PPF over your gloss paint to create a smooth, uniform satin finish—in the color you already love.

Why owners choose a STEALTH conversion

  • Style + protection, together: Custom satin look plus impact protection from road debris.

  • Reversible: Want to return to gloss? Remove the film; your original paint is preserved underneath.

Panel or full-body: Convert high‑impact areas (hood/bumper/fenders) or wrap the entire car.

Why XPEL STEALTH Works So Well (Daily & Winter Driving)

  • Impact & abrasion defense: Helps absorb stone chips and fend off micro‑scratches.

  • Self‑healing topcoat: Fine swirls disappear with warmth (sun or warm water).

  • Stain resistance: Shields against salt, sap, tar, bird droppings—key for Ottawa winters.

  • Consistent satin sheen: Uniform look across panels and repainted sections.

  • 10‑year warranty: Coverage against yellowing, cracking, peeling when installed by a certified shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can satin paint be polished if it’s scratched?
 No. Polishing removes the satin texture and turns it glossy. Protecting satin with XPEL STEALTH helps you avoid that scenario.

What exactly is a STEALTH conversion?
 Applying XPEL STEALTH PPF over gloss paint to create a uniform satin finish—with the added protection of PPF.

Will STEALTH hide existing defects?
 It improves uniformity, but it won’t hide deep scratches, chips, or sanding marks. We recommend scratch removal first for the cleanest result.

Can I ceramic‑coat over STEALTH?
 Yes. A compatible ceramic (e.g., XPEL’s) adds hydrophobics and easier washing while keeping the satin look.

How long does STEALTH last?
 XPEL STEALTH carries a 10‑year warranty when installed by a certified shop.

Is it reversible?
 Yes. The film can be safely removed, revealing the preserved finish underneath.

Ready to Go Satin—Safely?

  • Have factory satin/matte? Protect it—because you can’t polish it like gloss.

  • Want the satin look without the OEM premium? Do a STEALTH conversion and protect your paint at the same time.

  • Want both style and longevity? XPEL STEALTH delivers.
