Are these products safe to use on ultimate plus?
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant
Collinite 845
jkyrennist,
We don't see any emails in the inbox, are you sending to marketing@xpel.com? Either way, we apologize for the inconvenience and will do our best to answer your questions.
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant - I talked to our Chief Engineer for Paint Protection and he said "I wouldn't recommend it as we've tested other Wolfgang products before and they destroyed the film." To be 100% sure I called the customer support number for Wolfgang to see if they could tell me the ingredients and if it was XPEL safe and he replied, "No, we wouldn't recommend it."
Coolinite 845 - We couldn't find the ingredients and they didn't answer their customer support line. We did request an SDS Sheet so we could see ingredients though. But as of right now, unsure if Paint Protection Safe at this time. If you have a bottle with you, check the back and see if they have the ingredients listed and make sure to look for "Petroleum Distillates" such as Naphtha or Kerosene. If it has those ingredients, it is NOT paint protection friendly.

For his color, whatever that means. Clear is clear. And Xpel has better t-shirts.
Agreed. Best bet is to see the film on your color in person to really make a decision but what I can say is that our film is engineered to match your paints finish. This way, the XPEL wrapped panels match the finish of the non XPEL wrapped panels. XPEL Paint Protection is your invisible barrier between you and the road.
Also, thank you for the T-Shirt compliment. We are still doing our XPEL SWAG PACK Giveaway to ANYONE who has XPEL on their Porsche and has posted about it on this thread or any other thread on this forum. Just email us the thread and post # along with your t-shirt size and shipping info so we can get the order placed. Email at marketing@xpel.com.
Curious, how did you determine the Suntek was better clarity? I will soon be making the same decision on black.
My installer held up samples of all the films against my car, which is Miami Blue, and the Suntek Ultra seemed clearer and glossier, at least to me. If your installer has multiple films you can do the same and the better films all have the same qualities, warranty, etc. And pay no attention to T-shirt man.
Getting XPEL Ultimate Plus installed as we speak at Xtreme Auto Details in Chantilly, VA. Great folks to deal with there. Looking forward to finally driving without worrying too much.
So... how was it? Got pics? I'm shopping for a PPF in the area too
I picked up my Carrera T this afternoon after having Suntek Ultra installed on the full front, mirrors, A-pillars, partial roof, rocker panels and rear hips/wheel wells. After the ppf was installed, Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating was applied to the whole vehicle including the newly installed ppf and the wheels.
I am so so happy with the results. After researching many different installers in my area, I ended up going with Oz Braz in Gilbert, AZ. The owner/installer Andrew and his team couldn’t have been better to work with. He took time with me to explain everything and made my whole experience top notch. I drove over an hour to get to his shop but it was totally worth it. The shine and clarity of the Suntek/Gtechniq combo is stunning.
On my long drive back home I encountered some rain and the water just sheeted off the car like magic. When I arrived home, it had dried off and you would never have known it had been through the rain. I can’t recommend Andrew and Oz Braz highly enough. The installer makes all the difference when dealing with these complicated paint protection films and ceramic coatings.
Looks real nice, and another satisfied Suntek Ultra customer. I know that there are other films out there but I am happy with it so that is all that matters...no way it could have turned out better with another film. And you are correct in that the installer is the most important thing since film is film but the installer is the one who applies it. For those that think a good installer is too far remember you only have to do it once (or maybe again and after many years) so suck it up and make arrangements to drop off your car, etc. if you find a good place.

I agree Bob! Dropped the car off on Tuesday and picked it up on Friday. Luckily my wife was able to chauffeur me around for 3 days. 😆
Got my 991.2 Targa 4s. Drove it for a week (just had to), then to the PPF installer (Perfection Detailing in Fallston, MD) for Xpel Ultimate full front, then ceramic full car. That was 7 months ago.
Wiped my car down this morning after a rain. The car wiped down easily with no streaks. But... What I did notice was all the dings on my frunk hood and mirrors!!! OMG! What if I hadn't PPF'd my car!?!? There's my answer to the questions! A dark car shows dings very easily. No brainer!!!
***so with the bra you see dings and dents even more clearly?****
