Sort these top shelf film in terms of their adhesive strength.

Avery,Suntek, VS Ultra, Xpel Ultimate, Xpel Xtreme. How would they stack up against each other when it comes to adhesive bite?

I have tested Suntek and it has the least aggresive adhesive among the above. Lacks the bite that Avery or other films have. Am I the only one who is facing this?

First off what is your alcohol solution? That makes a big difference. Too hot and it won't stick. I have not tried the new avery but I say Ultimate,Xtreme, Avery, Suntek, VS. This is my opinion only!

I didn't really like suntek for the same reason. I never really used extreme but I'd put the adhesive strength in that same order. Maybe even put suntek last.

I came across a post on this forum which mentioned Suntek Enginners were dabbling with a new and more stronger adhesive due to some complaints of peeling off after installation. Can anybody confirm this development?

ive never had a suntek install peel up after the customer left. I have had this happen with the Xpel film tho & was told it was user error. However what I dont like is you get less of a bite on the suntek if your solutions are off by a bit. Ive used the avery and it was not bad. But I did notice the Venture Ultra did bite a lot more thn the others. But then again all of them require different alcohol mixtures so that could be your determining factor.

never had an issues with any xpel films. I'd rate the xpel and avery as equals honestly. The rest are ok, more affordable though. If installed with a steamer and xpel gel, I haven't noticed much of a difference. Suntek and VS take longer to dry or set up imo, but we always let our pp installs stay inside most of the day and steam or heatgun them to set.

We stuck with using VS ultra and suntek. Did xpel ever work out their adhesive problems? What about nano although I see the banner at the top of the page saying its in stock ready to go has anyone had problems getting it, how's pricing?

I went back to just using ultimate and I think they have an even more solid product now. Just finished a full wrap on a black cts-v and it was as problem free as should be expected

ultimate is awesome, it is a bit more pricey. I have never had issues with xpel's adhesive. I have only used it for 3 years now though. Did VS for 2 years then switched to xpel when 3m bought vs out.
