Xpel vs Suntek?

Went to my local installer to see about Xpel ultimate. He is steering me toward Suntek. Says it is more scratch resistant and even though the Xpel is self healing it doesn't completely heal. Does anyone have experience with Suntek and would you agree with him?

What the heck are you even talking about?? Over the counter products? He's not talking about a dealer, he's talking about a clear bra installer... and I don't think you can get a clear bra "over the counter."
I'm quite certain he wouldn't be "better off" with it if such a product did exist.

As for the OP, I have Xpel Ultimate, and have no issues with it. With that said, I know nothing about the Suntec stuff, which may also be very good.

Not to get off topic, but what areas did you get covered? Was the installer able to get all of the air bubbles out? And you basic thoughts and/or complaints?

I only had the front bumper (upper and lower) done, and the mirrors. If I didn't tell you it was on there you'd be hard pressed to ever see it...even then you'd have a hard time seeing it. No air bubbles, and as glossy as the paint. It actually has LESS orange peel than the factory clearcoat. (Something that 3M can't say) and is crystal clear. I should get the hood done too come to think of it.
