Fact: Owning a black painted or any color matte finish vehicle means you’re married to it regarding its upkeep and you need to be careful/selective of any product you use on both finishes.
True!
Just bought an RCF Fuji Speedway and its matte and carbon fiber.....will definitely use your products!!
Great info!
After having a matte painted bicycle I am fully aware of the issues of keeping it clean. Unfortunately I did not know about Dr. B's matte specific products and bought the cheaper product from CG's. Yep, you get what you pay for and a bicycle throwing dirt and grime shows up after every ride on matte paint. Now I highly recommend Dr. B's matte products and cringe every time I hear a vendor touting their product is matte 'safe' as in No.3 myth.
Yeah, could you please do a step by step video on removing the following stains from a matte finish car specifically: 1) bird shit 2) bug splats 3) water spots
It's on our list of videos to make in the future!
@@DrBeasleys Looking forward to this future video. My dad (84 yrs old) just bought a Genesis with matte paint and I’m researching on how to help him care for the paint (and what NOT to do). Side Note: He did receive a very nice Dr. Beasley's Matte paint care kit from the Hyundai dealership. That’s a very helpful step off point.
Hahaha I purchased the sonata n line with a sliver matte finish and came with your product in the truck lol
how to remove water spots from matte paint? most agressive way when regular ways like water spot remover spray has little effect... say wheel cleanser?
If Water Spot Remover is unable to remove the water spot, it may have etched the paint at that point. The area would need to be resprayed in such an instance.
What about using something like XPEL Stealth?
Are your products available in the UAE? Specifically Dubai
What should I do if a ceramic coating was applied over contaminants/water marks? From this video, the coating can’t be buffed off. Am I just stuck with this issue until the coating weathers away? I’ve tried the full stack of matte chemicals but no luck either.
Good question. So you've already tried removing with multiple sustained applications of Matte Paint Cleanser?
@@DrBeasleys I tried 3 applications back to back when I first noticed the marks, but they didn’t seem to budge. Moved up to Decon and Paint Cleanser Pro with a similar application process. Still no success.
Can you put a paint protector film over a matte finish?
Absolutely, it just needs to be a PPF designed to produce a matte finish. Conventional PPF is designed to enhance gloss and clarity, which you of course want to avoid with matte or satin finishes.
You talk about the finish, "It's either matte or it's gloss." How about the wheels on my Dodge Charger which are described by manufacturer as "Low Gloss Black Wheels." Would that be considered Matte or Gloss?🤔
When it comes to paint finishes, anything less than gloss (low gloss, semi-gloss, etc) should be treated like a matte finish, because the goal is to preserve the finish's reflectivity, not to add to it. We're not saying low gloss finishes are the same as matte, just that they should be cared for the same.
The answer is in the name.
Strange you say matte finish isn't difficult.
But then you go on to cite a bunch of things that you can't do with matte finish...
Moreso that it's not difficult if you already care about keeping your car looking good. For those who are invested in maintaining their vehicle's appearance to the highest level, the amount of work involved is essentially the same as a glossy finish, just using different products.
