What polish to use on S2S matt paint?

[Bartender]

Just took delivery on my 2022 Spyder Sea to Sky. Love the bike and the color, but my question is what polish to you all recommend on the matt paint? Bike is Mystery Blue which I love but it is matt paint. I have heard that regular spray on polish such as Mequires spray wax will leave it streaked. Any suggestions as to correct polish to use on that paint?

You never polish or wax a matte finish. There are a ton of cleaners out there but Windex works as well as anything. NEVER rub hard on a matte finish. It will ruin the finish and make it shiny.

None.

Wash it when needed with a high quality car wash soap that doesn’t contain wax but if the label says that it has conditioners in it that is okay. There are some chemical companies producing a coating that you can apply specifically made for matte paints. I haven’t used them and don’t know what happens when you go down that road long

Lamonster makes a matte finish cleaner. Waiting on my S2S parts to come in to pick up my bike but I’m ready to clean it! ��

Polish it with water. And only rub it hard enough to get the bugs off. Matte finish is very easy and inexpensive to care for. No chemicals needed..... Jim

I have had good results using F11 to give it that really nice look. But the negative trade off is that the matte finish attracts a lot of dust. I have some matte specific items, but have not tried them yet. Mine is a 2016 F3 Limited Special Series.

I'm trying out Wizard's "Wipe Down". It was recommended by the dealer.

I have the Black Dymond detailer from Lamonster, and just purchased the Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Auto Wash - from Amazon but available on their own website. I have had good results using both.

I have Ceramic Pro on my 2021 Yukon and will be getting my 2022 Sea to Sky done with Ceramic Pro when it arrives.
