Does anyone know what's better to wrap my 2016 Z06 with? Xpel or Suntek ? Thanks

i had the same question several months back and did as much research on this subject as possible. Both are very good. What I eventually came up with....Suntek has a slight bit better light refraction than the Xpel Ultimate. Very difficult to determine, but I'm told it is a bit brighter. Ultimate is a tougher product than Suntek. If your looking to minimize the stone chip issues, Ultimate is the better product. I got the Ultimate and am thrilled. Can't imagine how the Suntek product could shine any better. Good luck with your decision!

I think your first choice should be finding the best installer in your area and using their preferred film, unless they use both. There are lots of xpel fans on this site.

Thanks, expel is what I was leaning towards. I rather have the better protection .

Just had the front end wrapped yesterday with Xpel. Find the best installer and if it is a rather low price, walk away. Xpel professionals are fully trained and offer a guarantee. The person that did mine was done to perfection, not one mistake that I could find. He did offer a military discount or repeat customer discount. Taking my 2017 ZL1 in on Friday. Price after discount $1824.00

I have both. Xpel below the hood/bonnet and Suntek on the rest.

They are both good products, and of course as previously posted the installer is key. I went with the Suntek and the Ceramic Pro Coating on the whole car.

save the money and use it for something else.i have 5k miles on my Z and no stone chips on the front.the secret is DO NOT TAILGATE.if you see ANY big trucks especially trucks with signs that say DO NOT FOLLOW,stay far back.

Can't speak for Suntek but I've been 100% satisfied with XPEL and won't use anything else. As stated, installation is the key.

Mine is supposed to arrive next week and I am using Xpel Ultimate. Having full hood, front bumper, headlights, full front fenders,mirrors ,rocker panels all the way back to the brake ducts,and door cups.

Cover the A Pillars as well.

We have Expel on just about every car that rolls threw the shop. Great stuff!!!!

^ Thanks Tom, Forgot to mention I am doing the pillars . Doing everything but the upper doors,rear fenders,and rear trunk hood and bumper. I do not want them to remove front crossed flag emblem as I would rather have them get the film as close to the emblem as possible.Dave

Suntek on mine and not one complaint

Just had Suntek Ultra installed. 10yr warranty, looks amazing. Did full front, from the doors forward, rockers, front and back of rear fenders. $2,200. Not cheap, but they did an amazing job.

tzoid9

not cheap? That price is amazing if it's the entire car! The quote I had for
Xpel was close to $4000! Yikes!!!

I agree that price is great for all of your coverage. Mine is a little less but not as much coverage as yours but using Xpel Ultimate.

The best advice I can chime in with is, go pro with the wrap. Suntek or Xpel are the best way to go there, depending on what the installer you chose works with most. Then coat it with a ceramic coating yourself, with a brand new wrap that's just gonna be a breeze and it's going to up the protection, looks, and longevity of the wrap beneath so much.

My installer offered both Xpel and LLumar. I left the decision up to them (the professionals), and since my Z06 is black, they went with LLumar, because they said it looks best with black paint (makes the black look better).

I agree - it looks great!
