Matte Mercedes & The Mystery Shine

A beautiful 2015 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG in magno alanite gray came to see us in need of a clean up. It was cleaned with Matte Body Wash and all of the road salt and other Chicago winter contaminants came off easily. Often times during winter, a car is so caked with dirt/snow/salt that it’s hard to see the more serious issues that lie underneath. Some people wash their cars and notice there are new scratches or dents. Sometimes after a hand wash during winter, fading and unevenness in paint become apparent.

After cleaning the matte Mercedes, we noticed there was still a strangely shiny spot on the left side of the hood. Although the spot was small and likely unnoticeable to the untrained eye, as matte paint care experts, we were obsessing over it. We had no idea what caused the spot, but we knew that the shine had to go! We tried Matte Final Finish first. When the shine was still present, we knew we had to move to our powerful stain remover for matte paint. Matte Paint Cleanser was sprayed on the small contaminated area and allowed to sit for about 5 minutes. We were pleased to see that after just one application of the cleanser, the shine was gone.

Immediately after ensuring there were no other shiny spots on the car, we wet it and protected it with Matte Paint Coating. Whatever the shine came from, it won’t be able an issue anymore. Our matte friendly nano coating protects paint from exactly these types of situations. If for any reason this contaminant were to come in contact with this car again, the shiny area would come off with a regular hand wash thanks to the presence of the protectant.
