She's a Beaut Captain K! Thinking of doing Xpel Ultimate to the whole front end as well. Have read that it can look "yellow" on white - what are your thoughts after having it installed? can you notice where it is applied vs. where it is not?

Mine just started its journey from Emden. 3-4 weeks until I get my hands on it.

Thanks!

Having owned a shop and installed vinyl protecting membrane to many cars in the past I would never again put it on a white car. I have yet to see a product that does not yellow if even a tiny bit over time.

I have heard/read different re Xpel Ultimate. Also comes with the 10 year warranty against yellowing. Still debating whether to do it or not, curious to hear CaptainK's impressions.

I don’t think it looks yellow at all right now, but it’s also only been on for a couple of days. Don’t have any previous experience with Xpel on a white vehicle. Can keep you updated over time though

Xpel is not supposed to yellow at all.. the newest Xpel that is.

It is warrantied for 10 years. I say get it and if it goes yellow you have an easy argument for replacing it for free years later.

Good question for the installer.

Costco run with the fam after a quick carwash. Nice corner spot with clearance around the car.

Got my windows done today (mobile service at home - nice!) and just did a quick wash to get the goop off. Maybe a more proper detail next weekend.
