What is Stealth PPF?
Stealth is UNITY USA's satin-matte finish paint protection film. It gives the protection of clear PPF and changes the paint's sheen from gloss to satin, without changing the color underneath.
Like clear PPF, Stealth is a self-healing urethane film, about 8 mil thick, that stops rock chips, scratches, bug acid and UV. Light scratches in the top coat heal with heat. It can be removed later without harming the factory paint, which brings the original gloss right back. Read more about satin and matte films on our matte PPF page.
Why protect a 1 of 460 G-Class?
A limited edition like the 2025 "Stronger Than the 1980s" G-Class is a car where the original paint matters. With only 460 built, keeping the factory finish intact is the point, and full body PPF does that while the car still gets driven.
This one is covered head to toe in Stealth, so every painted surface has a protective layer and the white paint takes on a satin look.
Why does a G-Wagon need windshield protection film?
A G-Wagon's windshield is straight and flat, so it takes rock hits more directly than a sloped windshield. On glass like this, chips and cracks are almost guaranteed without protection.
Windshield protection film is a clear film on the outside of the glass that takes the impact of small road debris before it can chip or crack the windshield. Replacing glass is a real hassle, and that is why windshield protection has become one of the fastest-growing upgrades we install. Both of these G-Wagons got UNITY USA windshield protection film.
What else went into the red G 63 build?
The red G 63 got more than film. Along with full body Stealth PPF and windshield protection film, the bash bar was powder-coated a deep gloss black, a Valvetronic cat-back exhaust was added, and a set of two-piece forged wheels finished the look.
The Stealth film turns the factory red gloss into a satin red, and the gloss black bash bar and forged wheels set it off. For exhaust, wheels and other parts work, see our aftermarket parts page.
How long does full body PPF take on a G-Wagon?
Full body PPF takes about 4 to 5 days at EMWRAPS. The paint is cleaned and decontaminated, every panel is fitted and its edges finished, and the vehicle gets a final inspection. A G-Wagon is a big vehicle with a lot of painted surface to cover.
What does full body PPF cost for a G-Wagon in Seattle?
Full body clear PPF at EMWRAPS runs $6,000 to $8,000+, and Stealth full body is quoted per vehicle. The final price depends on the vehicle's size and shape and the condition of the paint, and every job starts with a quote. Windshield protection film is quoted with the job. Our G-Wagon PPF page has more on G-Class work.
Frequently asked questions
Is Stealth PPF the same as a matte wrap?
Stealth PPF is not the same as a matte wrap. Stealth is UNITY USA's satin-matte paint protection film: a self-healing urethane film about 8 mil thick that stops rock chips and scratches while changing the gloss to satin. A matte vinyl wrap changes the look but is thinner and is not built to absorb rock chips the way PPF is.
Can you put Stealth PPF on a red G-Wagon?
Stealth PPF works on any paint color, including a red G-Wagon. The film is satin-matte and see-through, so the red stays red and only the sheen changes from gloss to satin. The red G 63 in this post went from factory red gloss to a satin red finish with UNITY USA Stealth.
Does windshield protection film stop rock chips?
Windshield protection film adds a clear layer to the outside of the windshield that takes the impact of small rocks and road debris, which helps prevent chips and cracks. Flat, upright glass like a G-Wagon's is especially exposed. EMWRAPS installs UNITY USA windshield protection film, often alongside full front or full body PPF.
How do you wash a G-Wagon with Stealth PPF?
A G-Wagon with Stealth PPF should not be washed for 48 hours after installation. After that, hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid waxes and polishes made to add gloss, since those can change the satin look of a matte or satin film. Light swirls in the Stealth top coat heal with heat.
