Anyone wash their car today? ?

One thing I've always wondered...

The matt green paint, is it a metallic with a clear coat, or how is it composed?

The matt finish is a clear coat of sorts.

Do NOT attempt to polish it, as you will take away the textured finish that creates the matt effect.

There is actually a flat finish powder that is mixed with the paint to make flat black, less for matt finish etc.
I guess they add the flattening powder to the clear coat rather than the colour coat ... That way, a quick coat of clear with the correct ratio of flattening powder, brings back that new car finish appearance

You could also use my method, just don't wash it, you can get the matt finish even on white that way

Quick maintenance wash today to get rid of the road film. Good clean inside too.

Just got myself a new pressure washer not that i need one.

Went for an AVA P57, used it to wash the Leaf today and well happy with it.
Must go and get the X Power dirty asap.

AVA Easy P57 Medium

AVA Easy may be smaller than many of the other AVA models, but it has good stability, power and plenty of pressure due to its unique design and metal pump. It has a hose reel and a dedicated space for the power cable. The handle can be easily folded down, making it easy to take the washer with...

I'm just happy the wind didn't blow our MG4 away yesterday ..... I doubt it will get a wash for the New Yr, deep seated traditions die hard
