Matte Paint Care Guide
■Materials that may become difficult to remove
The following are likely to settle into the vehicle body and should be cleaned off immedi-
ately.
●Rain water, sea water, and other liquids that may cause water stains
●Sand, pollen, volcanic ash, and other particulate matter
●Dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
●Sap, leaves, flowers, etc.
●Mud, snow, anti-freezing agents, and other road debris
●Gasoline, engine oil, asphalt, and other oily materials
■Do not wax or apply a coating to the vehicle
Do not wax the vehicle or apply a coating to the
vehicle body, as they will form a film over the
painted surfaces, filling the matte clear coat sur-
face, making it more flat. As a result, it will
become more glossy, possibly permanently los-
ing its matte properties.
