Question: re matte gray finish

[kenr57]

I have a 2014 RT Limited with the matte gray finish. The owner's manual says that this finish requires special treatment and to refer to the CD disc for maintenance. There was no disc with the owner's manual or with the other paper work. Does anyone know how I can get a copy of this disc or find out what the requirements are for maintaining this finish?

Thanks,

Ken

I am not sure exactly what BRP recommends but, other manufactures say, "do not wax or polish". Many suggest washing with dishwashing soap to remove oil, grease and road grime. Do not use detergent. It is very hard on the paint.

another product available in auto parts stores is Meguires Quick Detailer
But Lamonster Black Diamond Matte Detailer is the best tio use

Dawn dish soap and blow dry after. I use an electric leaf blower. Had the same type of finish on my Harley Night Rod and that's what I was told to do by the Harley dealer.

I use these products from Chemical Guys on my F3T and it works for me. I'm sure there are other great products out there for most matte finishes. Now if I can only find a way to keep the dust off during my rides it would stay clean most of the time. I like the color, but it's tough to keep clean!

It may be difficult to keep the dust off, but the color is beautiful. Wish mine was that color, dust or not.
