Matte paint and ceramic coating

[Panther]

Just out of curiosity as I've never dealt with matte paint (still waiting for delivery actually), but if you add one of the wipe on ceramic style coatings does it then give the car a gloss finish appearance?

Is it something you'd recommend? I'm already looking at wax free shampoo's.

Also would anyone recommend G101 cleaner on matte paint?

Loads of Matt paint, cleaning stuff on the market now. By well known makers. Very much doubt any specific product for Matt paint, gives it a Gloss finish, sort of defeating the object. To be honest the paint on the X Power is probably more Satin than Matt, but same principle.

There's some good info in this thread about coatings, as well as other cleaning products for matte paint :-

Hello,
First post here so thought I'd make it a helpful one! Cleaning Matte Green Paint.

I have been polishing my cars for as long as I can remember, so was looking forward to my very recent purchase with matte paint, as it should be much easier to look after.

This is my second wash and is indeed very easy to keep.

Jetwash off the worst of the dirt, followed by a 10 minute soak in snowfoam.

Jetwash that off, then a lukewarm handwash with Autoglym Shampoo and conditioner. Then final rinse.

I use my leaf blower for the worst of the water followed by a microfibre towel to finish...

Had ours coated with a Gtechniq ceramic coating professionally - no change to the finish.
