    That gave me all the reasons I need to never get a matte paint finish. At least the decals are more forgiving.
    I have seen some ceramic products formulated just for matte finishes advertised on McKee's 37 and AutoGeek. They had good reviews.

    Believe it or not, my brother in law has a gorgeous 392 T/A in Go Mango and Black Satin and he does the hood, roof and trunk lid with Wet Magic Tire Black and it looks incredible. He applies it lightly and then wipes it dry almost buffing it. No streaks, and looks awesome! Who woulda thunk?

    Does the finish now have a gloss or matte look to it?

    It still has a matte appearance but a lively matte that does not look tired.
