How much are people paying for Xpel?

I was going to get my new Corvette, of which I plan on keeping a long time, covered with Expel. After speaking with the Expel office in San Antonio I decided not to have Expel installed. They did say the product had a 10 year guarantee, but did not guarantee that it would not damage the paint when it was removed. That’s a gamble that I didn’t want to find out years from now if it had to be removed.

Couple questions guys. See what else everyone is doing. I plan on getting my 2019 black Z06 Xpel wrapped in the spring. I have ACS XL Rockguard on now. Was not planning on wrapping that is why I put them on but changing mine. So with having the whole car wrapped there is no need for the Rockguards or guys still keeping them on. Also if you went with a full wrap did the installer also wrap the front splitter and side skirts? Any info appreciated.

We're sorry to hear that you changed your mind. While there is technically a chance that when removing film (any brand of film) there is a small chance that paint could be pulled. But that's normally only on cars that have been repainted. Factory painted cars I only know of 2 cases where paint was pulled and they were both Ferrari's. All of that said, if you do remove the film, just use the right techniques of using a steamer and pulling at the correct angle to put as little stress on the adhesive as possible. Pulling paint on factory painted cars is extremely rare.

That’s funny you mentioned about the Ferrari because I remember him saying it was same make. I’m still deciding on the Xpel still in the winter in Pa. If I have it done it won’t be till about April. Question if I do take off the Rockguards do you still see any kind issues with the wrap. I know it is extra protection. Thanks.

I do not see an issue without the rock-guards. We wrap tens of thousands of Corvettes every year with and without the extra rock-guards.
