What Is Stealth PPF?
Stealth (or satin) Paint Protection Film offers the same high level of protection as traditional gloss PPF, but with a smooth satin finish that transforms the appearance of your vehicle.
It can be applied to gloss paintwork to create a satin or “frozen” look, giving your vehicle a more unique, understated finish without the need for a wrap. It’s also commonly installed on factory matte or frozen paint to protect these more delicate and expensive finishes from damage.
At AWC Protect, we use premium XPEL stealth PPF to deliver both visual transformation and long-term protection, helping preserve the condition of your vehicle while achieving a distinctive look.
Stealth PPF Packages
Stealth PPF is typically installed as a full vehicle package to ensure a consistent satin finish across every panel. This is a detailed process where each panel is carefully prepared, installed, and refined to achieve a flawless result.

Is Stealth PPF better than a wrap?
Stealth PPF isn’t just about changing how your car looks, it’s designed to protect it. Unlike vinyl wraps, which are purely cosmetic, PPF is a thicker, impact-resistant film that absorbs stone chips and prevents damage to your paint.
You get the satin finish you want, but with long-term protection, better durability and a much higher-quality result.
