I have suntek on my car and my wife's cadillac
Well worth the cost

it's a compromise no matter what brand nowadays but one i have learned to live with. Heck with the amount of orange peel on these cars it's not much different..

You sacrifice a small amount of clarity for the safety and reassurance that some small rocks, sand whatever aren't going to ruin the paint the next time you wipe it down or admire it on a sunny day, at a show, or just walking out of a restaurant and noticing the chips on the front or any forward facing surface.


I have it, i would do it again, this was my first. My father (left the car with him for a few days had a party at the house needed the garage for extra space in case the weather turned, it was supposed to be poor) and he couldn't get over how noticeable it is, he didn't like it... he comes from an era of Lacquer paint and mirror finish lol..

i've already noticed a couple small nicks in the Xpel one on the headlight and man they would have been ugly, i know it.. paint has not been compromised, that's awesome and worth it. even read a few posts and watched a video of a side swipe and the film peeled off and not a FREAKIN mark.... Xpel..

What's the approx cost?

I clicked because I thought I was in CFOT. Wasted click.

Mr. Knowitall

My local expert uses llumar which he claims is the same as suntek. He will also do xpel for a few more dollars, but recommends the llumar. He will be doing my window tints this Friday and we will talk more about the clear bra, but I am definitely putting something on as the GS will see plenty of auto-x and track side.

I had my tints done at tint world too turned out great.got an estimate for expel for half the hood fenders bumper and mirrors for 800.00 that sound reasonable they said they would need the car for 2 days.
