Bath day. Need help with Xpel

Gave baby girl a bath today with a waterless wash and new micro weave towels. Found 1 small rock chip that will need to be repaired.
Thinking of getting the full Xpel coverage. Trying to decide between clear and the matte.

Interesting as I LOVE the prototype Z/28 in the matte white. I didn't know they offered XPel in matte. Would be very cool. Have you gotten quote? Wrapping every edge will be $$$

I paid $2k for full front bumper, full hood, full fenders, A pillars, mirrors, rockers, gills, door cups and edges and rear bumper behind the tires.

Xpel is amazing. I can hear the tires throwing stones down the side but no damage

Not a ZL1 but thought I'd chime in because I had Xpel "Stealth" installed on my black 1LE. That's the film that gives it a satin/matte look. I had installed by the best guy in Canada and it looks flawless. Most people have a hard time believing it's not paint. I was super meticulous about my paint so having this done was a no brainer. If you have any questions, let me know.

Worth every penny if you ask me. It can't scratch unless you really try to scratch it! And the look you get is amazing. I get stopped and asked about it constantly.

Here is what the stealth film looks like on a black car.

Missisauga, Ontario. He came highly recommended by all the exotic Lambo, Ferrari and Maserati guys from the GTA. I can say that the install is flawless and he couldn't be a better guy to deal with.
