I just had mine done as well on my car blue on white interior. You will absolutely love it! As an addition you might want to consider applying ceramic coating on the seats as well.

I've been happy I chose to go with XPEL Stealth. I was scheduled to get the Ultimate Plus before I changed my mind to get the Stealth. Using cleaning products made for matte finishes has worked well for me, and my ceramic coating has really helped to keep stuff from sticking.
Here's a couple right after I picked it up from the shop, and a couple recent on an overcast day and in the sun.

I’m still waiting to hopefully take delivery of my white Model 3 this week. As soon as I get my car I want to have a full Satin/Stealth PPF wrap put on and I have Been getting estimates from local recommended shops. One shop that has exceptional reviews told me that they do not recommend trying to wrap the film around the really tight body gaps at the front bumper because after time the rubbing will cause the film to lift. He said this is also the case with the really hard edge at the bottom corners of the windshield. So they use plotter cut pieces that go up to edge and with satin PPF wraps they hit the painted edge with 3k grit sand paper to give the exposed painted edge the satin look so it does not flash next to the satin PPF. Anybody else heard of this technique or what are your thoughts on the edges in the right areas lifting?

Uh, I have a satin PPF on my white model 3 and they absolutely did not take sand paper to my paint, now would I have allowed them to.
There are various areas of the car that do not get full coverage, usually because they can't get to the panel edges due to lack of space between panels. Some of them do annoy me given my desire to have it absolutely perfect, but overall doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the finish.

Edit: "nor would I have allowed them to."
In terms of edges lifting, this is what the warranty is for. I've already had the mirrors redone twice due to the wrap shrinking and pulling back from the edges. Also had both front doors replaced, due to lifting just under the window trim. None of this cost me anything other than my time dropping the car off to get fixed.
XPEL STEALTH has a 10 Year Warranty and will certainly last longer than 2 years. Should it ever peel up, bubble, crack, stain, fade, or lift up, we will cover it parts and labor.
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS and STEALTH have a 10 Year Warranty.

idk, man...that Xpel stealth looks damn good with the Aero wheels and tint. At first I didn't like the Aero wheels, but they have been growing on me; especially on black and MSM. But the blue stealth and the dark satin gray of the the Aero wheels look really good
