Paint Protection Film - X-Pel vs SunTek

WillieFlo · Feb 12, 2016

I am about to pick up my Denali tomorrow and am going to do the Clear paint protection film. I have heard nothing but great things about the X-Pel, but these guys at X-Pel Houston are pretty proud of their product, so they quoted me over $1400 with full bumper/headlight/hood kit and rocker panels. However, Cutting Edge Concepts here in Houston quoted me about $1000 for the full front end and full rockers using SunTek PPF.

Does anyone have the Suntek PPF on here? Thoughts?

Some help would be great on deciding!

Thanks!

No Suntek but I used Lamin-X and I did hood, headlights and door handle "cups". Looks great and I had no problems with X-Pel or Lamin-X. My son drives my old Grand Cherokee and I had the headlight housings changed to the Limited style and had Lamin-X installed (I think that was the film maker). That was 2001. The truck looks like any 15 year old truck with a kid who has no clue how to clean a car... BUT the headlights still look new.

I think next I'll have the front bumper done. What do they pitch the Suntek features are vs the others?

Guys on the Bimmerpost Forum have used both. They say the X-Pel is thicker and has 10 yr warranty vs Suntek's 5 yr warranty. However, the Suntek has a more Glossy finish and gets rid of the "orange peel" texture in your paint, which I consider good things.
