All do we don’t deal with every day, as you know; they are not designed to shine. I did have some success in the past using our spray wax because it did not make it shine, but it made it easy to clean and takes water marks off. I would suggest that as well as our shampoo.

Hope that helps

is it possible to convert a clear coated glossy paint job to a flat one without a repaint of the entire car??

sometimes i wonder if flat white would look good with gloss black accents (lights/rims/tints/etc)
