Hey Everyone, just got an X6M in Frozen Pure Grey and diving deep into the matte paint cleaning best practices. First off, this thread is amazing...
Not going to PPF and based on this thread with the right process it seems like you can keep things looking good with the right chemicals/technique.
Plan is Foam (MJJC foam cannon), light contact wash (2-bucket), wash, leaf blower, light dry off.
Chemicals I'm thinking or already have:
- Adam's Mega Foam (Foam) and P&S Pearl (contact wash). Both are Ph neutral and I don't think should harm the matte from what I've read (but if anyone has other experience, I appreciate the feedback).
I'm putting together my Dr. Beasley's order and have the following in my cart: Matte Paint Coating; Matte Advance Coat; Matte Final Finish; and Matte Paint Cleanser.
Do I need to add the Decon on there before putting on the Ceramic, or just hit the car with a quick Iron spray after wash? The car has bout 150 miles on it.
Has anyone had issues with applying the Matte ceramic coat? My only concern is I just have my covered car port to do the application. It's out of the sun but would need to be a non-windy day to limit potential dust/contamination during the process. If this is stupid, let me know! lol
Once the car has the coat on it I'd feel pretty safe with a wash every other week, using Paint Cleanser for bugs/droppings, final finish when there are smudges or quick spot-clean, and then do the advancedcoat every few washes to reinforce the ceramic coat.
Anything I'm missing? I think a lot of us on here take pretty good care of our cars and I think for those of us that do, matte paint isn't as scary as some make it out to be.
Appreciate everyone's input in advance.
