Cleaning Matte Green Paint.

[Bricktop X PWR]

This is why i would not entertain matt paint myself,, a matt ppf wrap yes though.

That has probably acted as a filler until it is washed next time but fingers crossed.?

I thought that, but I've rubbed it so hard that that's not the case.
It has gone.

Anything deeper and your looking at a full panel respray I reckon.

I think smart repair guys can deal with this kind of stuff on matte.

You first! ??

Been trying my bloody hardest for the last year not to pick up anything.

6 tiny stone chips at last count.

I've got a tiny scratch above my charge flap, I'm going to give it a try based on your suggestion (if it ever stops raining)

As long as it doesn't catch a fingernail, it should work for you.
Don't be shy with the force used and don't worry about finding a cotton bud, just put some on a mico-fibre cloth.

I use Halfords Brand of Bug and Tar remover but any brand will do.
(Probably)

No.
Worked fine m8.
No evidence this wash, and I was very thorough over the area.

Also hoovered, interior glass, dash, screens, doors etc etc.

Thanks M8.
It will be the last Matte car I own though.

It's all very unique and interesting etc, but is more stress looking after the paint.
Read car.

Can't just park it anywhere.
Too many selfish bar stewards more than happy to open their door onto your car.

At least with a top coat you have a chance to polish it out.

I got away with that door scratch being extremely light.

IF. Big IF, my next car is an X Power it will probably be Camden.

Or, possibly White.....

Or, LOOK AT ME, ELSE I'll FECKIN CUT YA.

Aye, I've had a few grey vehicles over the years and they can go a good while before looking filthy.

Bloody boring, though.

True, my Born is grey but all the copper makes it far more interesting

Is that Matte Grey?

 

[LenEV2016]

Is that Matte Grey?

Indeed, I did consider that it's a tad drab being all grey, a bit like a crappy wet winter day!
I then looked at all the copper accents and decided they had indeed redeemed it from a rather drab existence

To be fair, the Matte Grey with the copper accents, does look good. Think they do them in Matte Red and Matte White with the Copper accents, they look good too. Different.
