No wax no polish on this paint. No car wash. Hand wash with proper microfibre cloth and PH balanced shampoo. Dust magnet but when they're clean they are gorgeous but somewhat of a pain to maintain.

The maintenance really isn't nearly as bad as all the Internet threads hype it up to be. Cleaning is quite simple, and the paint is incredibly durable as far as I can tell.

You just need to use special products designed for matte paint.
The biggest "problem" is that simple scratches and such can't simply be buffed or polished out, as this would ruin the matte appearance. You're left with a costly respray of an entire panel. Or just ignore it. |

First wash today. My favorite thing about this color is the satin finish gives you very distinct looks in the shade and sun. Love the silver that comes out in the sun.[IMG][/IMG]

Are those that have this paint doing any sort of protective coating? I love the color but I'm also rather particular so afraid if I cant wax nor polish it.

Yeah for sure. I've got two coats of ceramic all over and full PPF in the front. Needs extra care in my mind.

Hello everyone! Secured a G82 xDrive kith edition in frozen grey, plan on selling my RWD G82. Plan to PPF the entire car with matte finish, got a quote for $5k from a local (trusted) shop.
Truly love this color but sincerely concerned about maintenance/repair. I'll post some pics once I can get some. My car is currently at the port, should be at the dealership in a few weeks.

Also, concerning maintenance, can you drive it through a touchless car wash that doesn't apply wax (and only soap and water)? The idea of handwashing a car sounds ok during the first 3 months of ownership, but sucks during the winter. |
