Low sheen, high consequence
Satin film makes panel alignment, edge consistency and surface preparation easy to see. Apex plans the finish against the whole vehicle before installation starts.

Questions owners ask
Straight answers before you book.
Is matte PPF the same as matte vinyl?
No. Both can change appearance, but matte or satin PPF is selected as a paint-protection product with a protective top coat and impact-resistant film construction.
Can XPEL Stealth protect factory matte paint?
Yes, where the film and finish are compatible. Apex inspects the exact paint, panels and trim before confirming the route.
Can gloss paint be changed to satin?
Yes. A full XPEL Stealth installation can create a satin appearance while retaining the factory paint beneath the film.
Will every panel look identical?
A consistent result depends on film selection, panel preparation, edge placement and how unwrapped trim or painted areas meet the new surface. These decisions are planned before installation.
How is matte or satin PPF priced?
Vehicle size, body complexity, film choice, coverage and preparation determine the quote. Send the model, year and intended finish for tailored guidance.
Where is the installation completed?
Installation is completed at the Apex Detail Studio facility at 6A Street - Al Qouz Ind.third - Al Quoz - Dubai - United Arab Emirates.
