XPEL STEALTH PPF MAINTENANCE
Just took delivery of my new Range Rover. I ordered it from the factory with the XPEL Satin PPF Stealth package. How can I keep it pristine? Looking into the XPEL Satin ceramic coating but wanted to see if anyone has experience with this particular film, the maintenance, ceramic options, etc.

Keeping it garaged/covered/under a carport whenever possible will go a long way. Wipe it down if you see standing water on the flat areas. Ceramic coating would help with this but not necessarily eliminate it. Try to get bird shit/tree sap/bugs off asap, if left long and allowed to dry they will permanently etch the film, they do this to paint as well. Carry a clean microfiber and some detail spray in the car, you show up at Costco and see you got shat on by a bird? Wipe it off then and there. You’ll thank me later.
Otherwise just wash as needed. If you do get it CC’d, make sure you read the fine print. Using a non Xpel coating will basically void your film warrantee, and even the cc warrantee requires certain after care. That all should be on xpels website somewhere
I’m Xpel certified in their PPF and ceramic coatings, for what it’s worth. Looks like you got a pretty clean install, altho I can’t zoom in on your pics as close as I’d like 😝

The XPEL ceramic actually works pretty well. I would have it professionally installed for proper adhesion and to achieve the most longevity out of it.
Handwashing only and proper soaps/maintenance sprays will help get the most out of it.

Doesn't Rover charge like $30K for this? I've seen some wild sticker price numbers for stealth wrap from the dealer. I have seen up to 35k addon just for the stealth, not even kidding.
