XPEL or Kavaca full PPF

I looked though this forum but didn’t see anything specific to my question

I’m considering doing full matte ppf on my car and looks like Xpel and Kavaca are the best options.

Is there an advantage to one over the other? For those that have done it what’s your experience been and which do you prefer?

Haven’t found anything meaningful that separates the 2 other than Kavaca offers 12 years warranty.

You didn't state whether your car already has a frozen paint job or if you are simply trying to recreate a frozen look with a stealth type of PPF.

Every picture that has been posted on Bimmerpost that shows cars with Xpel Stealth has shown a great match with the frozen paint finish. We have seen pictures of the front end with Stealth and it is virtually impossible to distinguish where the PPF ends and car's frozen paint starts.

Xpel gives you a 10 years warranty isn't that enough for your future plans?

Seems like everyone who sells Kavaca also tends to be a Ceramic Pro dealer. I've heard good things about the brand, but also some not so great things. Honestly it really depends mostly on the installer as to how good the job will be, but I'd always put my money on Xpel...loads of installers, and product in case you ever need to replace a piece.

I got tanzanite blue (no frozen) and like the matte PPF look in addition to the protective qualities. 10 years is plenty so not concerned about that, I’m asking about differences between XPEL vs Kavaca based on experiences.
