Matte Paint, How long does it last ?

[SportFish]

Hi i have a buddy/ client that is right now looking at a special edition brand new cts-v cadillac with matte pearl white paint.

my questions are: if this is going to be held on to for a few years what type of life expectancy does the factory matte paint have? have you seen this stuff fail ? what is your experience with matte painted cars ? what products can you use on it. i see that CG has a wash and sealant has anybody used this?

thanks

...matte pearl white paint.
my questions are:



if this is going to be held on to for a few years

what type of life expectancy does
the factory matte paint have?

Just like the OEMs' SS or BC/CC paint systems...
The OEMs' Matte paint-systems are also designed
to last the entire service life of the car.



have you seen this stuff fail?
Not yet.



what is your experience with matte painted cars?

Should only use Matte-specific products;
never abrade the surface.



what products can you use on it.
i see that CG has a wash and sealant
has anybody used this?

I currently favor the Matte-specific products
from: Dr. Beasley's, RatWax, and Nanolex.

I've seen it fail in the same way regular clear fails.
