Matte Finishes

As we touched on before, if your bike has a matte finish paint job, these are the steps that you would follow.

Please note that the Fine Clay Bar, Claying Rubber and Paint Cleanse & Restore are not suitable to use on matte finishes.

Use Orange Agent on all the greasy and oily areas as per normal, then Snow Job as your pre wash and then wash with Auto Body Gel. All of our snow foams are safe for matte finishes and Auto Body Gel is also safe for matte finishes and will leave a very nice and clean surface without the risk of any streaking.

Dry the bike with one of our safe microfibre drying towels like The Twisted Pro Sucker without the use of Boss Gloss on the painted areas. Once the bike has been dried, wipe down all the matte finished areas with Clean Detail and a couple Big Softie cloths. Clean Detail is our dedicated cleaning spray and is perfect for matte finishes due to having no extra gloss enhancers built into its formula. It's also got some anti static properties built into it, which makes it very useful for bikes and matte finishes.

We also now have a dedicated matte sealant; Flat Matte.
