Matte Clear Coat Finish Care
Matte finish products are prone to trapping dirt, oils and other contaminants. Always clean this type of finish with warm water and a mild dish-washing detergent. Use a soft sponge to gently rub the surface, then rinse with clean warm water. For stubborn stains such as grease or oil, use a citrus-based cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the area and rub gently with a soft sponge. Allow the cleaner to sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse well with clean warm water. Repeat as needed.
IMPORTANT
Never use a polishing/buffing wax or any sponge
that has an abrasive surface when cleaning a matte finish. These products
will buff the matte surface of the finish and result in a glossy finish.
Never clean matte finishes with a pressure washer, as this will further
imbed contaminants into the clear coat and may damage labels and decals.
