Curious to see what one would look like. Google searching and this forum didn't come up with any results :(

Actually cleaning my P/W matte is not that hard, first I just use car shampoo to wash it than for those bug, tar, etc.. i use the turtlewax ICE liquid claybar, it work great and finish with turtlewax ICE liquid polish.

One thing I notice abt the matte paint, you wont get any swirl mark
