2026 BMW X5 Stealth PPF Installation: Black Sapphire Metallic Transformation

When this stunning 2026 BMW X5 in Black Sapphire Metallic arrived at Ixexotics, our mission was clear: transform the glossy finish into a sophisticated matte appearance while providing maximum paint protection. Our comprehensive three-step process combined paint correction, full-body stealth PPF, and ceramic coating to deliver exceptional results.

What is Stealth Paint Protection Film?

Stealth PPF (also called matte PPF) is a premium paint protection film that transforms glossy paint into a refined matte finish while protecting against rock chips, scratches, and environmental damage. Unlike vinyl wraps, stealth paint protection film features self-healing properties and is completely removable without damaging the factory paint underneath.

Our Three-Step Protection Process

1. Paint Correction: Creating the Perfect Foundation

Before applying any protection, we performed comprehensive paint correction on the BMW X5. Even new vehicles arrive with minor swirls and imperfections from transport and handling.

Process: Multi-stage polishing using professional compounds and precision tools to remove defects while preserving factory clear coat.

Benefits:

• Removes swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation
• Creates perfectly smooth surface for optimal PPF adhesion
• Maximizes clarity before applying matte finish
• Ensures long-lasting results

2. Full-Body Stealth PPF Installation

We applied premium stealth paint protection film to every painted surface of this BMW X5 using computer-cut patterns specific to the 2026 model. Our climate-controlled facility and certified installers ensure flawless results.

Coverage Included:

• Complete hood, fenders, front and rear bumpers
• All door panels and rocker panels
• Roof, mirrors, and A-pillars
• Headlight and taillight protection

Stealth PPF Benefits:

• Impact Protection: Guards against rock chips and road debris
• Matte Transformation: Converts glossy Black Sapphire Metallic to sophisticated satin finish
• Self-Healing Technology: Minor scratches disappear with heat
• UV Protection: Prevents paint fade from harsh Texas sun
• Preserves Resale Value: Original paint remains untouched underneath
• 10-Year Warranty: Premium film backed by manufacturer guarantee
• Hydrophobic Surface: Water beads off for easier maintenance

3. Matte-Specific Ceramic Coating

The final layer adds even more protection and makes maintenance effortless. We applied multiple coats of ceramic coating specifically formulated for matte and stealth surfaces.

Ceramic Coating Benefits:

• Enhanced stain resistance against bugs, bird droppings, and tree sap
• Superior hydrophobic properties for easy washing
• Additional scratch resistance
• Chemical protection from road salt and pollutants
• Maintains consistent matte appearance
• Extends PPF lifespan
• Reduces professional detailing frequency

Why BMW Owners Choose Stealth PPF

The BMW X5 deserves premium protection, and stealth paint protection film offers the perfect solution:

• Cost-Effective: BMW paint repairs cost $3,000-$7,000+ per panel—PPF prevents these expenses
• Reversible Transformation: Unlike permanent paint, stealth film can be removed to restore original finish
• Ideal for Black Sapphire Metallic: Dark colors show every imperfection; protection is essential
• Highway Protection: The X5’s large surface area is vulnerable to rock chips on Texas highways
• Resale Value: Protected original paint commands premium prices
