Matte FORCESHIELD F5 Clear / F5

STEK Matte FORCESHIELD F5 Clear / F5 is a matte film from STEK's F range. STEK lists 6 other F colors, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is clear paint protection film from STEK's F line. It does not change your color — it protects the paint you already have from rock chips, road debris and the swirls that come with washing. The film is optically clear once installed and self-heals light marks with heat.

The matte finish

Matte kills reflection completely, which makes body lines read sculptural instead of shiny. It is the most demanding finish to own and the rules are simple but absolute: hand wash only, no wax, no polish, no machine buffer, and no automatic car wash. Any of those will burnish shine into the surface permanently, and the shiny patch cannot be undone.

Care: hand wash only. No wax, no polish, no machine buffer and no automatic car wash — all four permanently burnish shine into a matte surface.
