Marina Bay Blue F95 X5M Competition with Xpel Stealth Satin Finish PPF

I had my mind set on getting the full car PPF done on the X5M before I even picked it up. After debating some options, I decided to go with Xpel Stealth satin finish PPF. I checked some photos of MBB M5 with Xpel Stealth and really liked the finish, plus it's still a smooth film so very easy to maintain (unlike matte/satin paint).

It took my detailer a little over a month to get it done completely. Besides Xpel, he also applied CQuartz Finest ceramic coating on the whole car and wheels. I got IND color-matched reflectors installed too. The gloss black trims are wrapped by regular Xpel Ultimate Plus, to provide a little contrast.

Reason for it taking so long is because:
1) the detailer is only a 2-man team, and for whatever reason people all decided to get PPF on their cars during COVID-19;
2) the X5M being brand new, Xpel didn't have the correct pattern in their system. My guy only got template for the front and had to hand wrap the entire back side.

The end result is amazing! It kept the "pop" in MBB color and added some depth with the satin finish and appears to be "bluer" in direct sunlight due to less reflection from the paint. I will let the pictures speak of themselves...
