The four seats cost us $400. Considering the kit from Xpel costs over $600 I thought it was a good deal.Nice. Cost?

I'd jump on it for that price, even though I'm hoping to wrap them in a matte finish. They look great!The four seats cost us $400. Considering the kit from Xpel costs over $600 I thought it was a good deal.
Not a silly question - I spent a bit of time trying to research exactly this. From what I can tell, Xpel is all shiny/glossy. 3M offers some vehicle wraps that are matte or screen printed - they appear to be quite durable and they're cheaper. There is an installer near me and that's the route I'm likely to go for the seat backs. While I think the Xpel applications in this thread and others look fabulous, it's possible it's overkill if all you want is a matte protection for your seats.Silly question...but does or can Xpel dealers do matte finishes on seat backs or are all Xpel products in the shiny finishes?
No, it's not "needed." -- people lived happily without it. But some like the protection. Feel free to read the marketing: Paint Protection | XPEL - and yes, there are other competitors.I am so unfamiliar with this stuff. I never installed this plastic protector on any of my cars, I just get them waxed occasionally. The only after market application for me is tint.
What is XPEL? Is it a brand? From what I seen here, it appears to be like a invisible shield for the car? Is it something that is really needed? I never had any paint damage to any of cars unless someone hit me

Today we got Xpel on the seat backs and you can only tell it's on there from the perfect angle and reflection.View attachment 168214

In my second picture you can see the edge of the Xpel. My installer did not use the patterns from Xpel so it may be different than mine. The edge/seam is really not that noticeable, but you can feel it easily. Most people have no idea it's on there.Nice! Mine are set to be wrapped tomorrow with Xpel. I was concerned because the Xpel pattern for the seatback causes a seam along the curved edge. Did yours? Is it noticeable?
