Wrapping Entire Car with 3M Pro or Xpel

Has anyone here wrapped their entire car with 3M Pro or Xpel? What are the pros and cons? How much did it cost you? I'm sure cost is one of the cons.

There have been several people who have had Xpel Stealth applied, it is basically a version of Xpel Ultimate but rather than clear it creates a matte-paint effect.

Cost is going to be the main con with it.

Often if you're going to go to the cost of applying it to the whole car then many consider either the matte effect or wrapping to apply a different colour instead.

Thanks Tux! From some of the threads that I read, there is a difference in quality of a vinyl wrap (matte or other color) vs 3M pro or Xpel. 3M pro and Xpel are much better at protecting your car than a vinyl. I don't if this is true or not.

I wrapped the entire car in Xpel Stealth. I'll be posting a thread later with pics. I literally just got it done. It will cost around 5-6k.

Had mine fully done too. I'd like to preserve the quality of the paint for as long as I can since I bought this car and since I also like road trips, I'd like this car to be protected as much as possible. Add to that the fact that the parking lot at the office can get pretty busy the protection that XPEL ultimate adds gives me some piece of mind.

Mine cost around 6K (with labor).
