There are a lot of myths out there concerning ‘how to look after a car with matte paint or vinyl wrap so let’s get the facts!
WRONG. Matte paint is probably more susceptible to damage from the environment like water spotting from rain, and Matte vinyl is even weaker again so both definitely need some protection from the daily elements to keep them looking good.
WRONG. Most car care contains gloss enhancing agents that will make your nice matte finish shiny and patchy. This includes quick detailers, most shampoos and especially wash & wax combos.
WRONG. The ‘matte’ is created in the outer most surface so anything with abrasives in it will flatten the matte finish making it glossy and destroying the matte.
WRONG. This type of paint and wrap scratches just as easily as most but the difference is you cannot correct (polish/buff out) the scratches or marks! Do no go near automatic or even hand car washes, they will mark your paint/wrap. Ensure it is protected well so dirt and contamination will be easier to remove.
This is a specialist area and as such you need to be using a specialist product/manufacturer. These products are available from all good auto stores. Just remember ABSOLUTELY NO SILICONE.
