I quite like that, but how would you maintain that finish, cleaning etc.

I was looking at a CL in matt Palladium silver in the dealer's the other w/e. I asked the salesman about cleaning and maintenance. His response was they had no guidance from MB yet.
But how long would it be before some one tries to wax it? How do you remove greasy finger marks?

Looks great but my OCD would mean I have to wax it and would probably ruin it. Just buy silver and take it to the local Albanians to wash it once a week and it will soon look like an expensive matt finish!

I find Matt paint fascinating but at the same time I don't think I really like it. It looks cool with the stealth fighter connection but it can also look like your car left the paint shop a wee bit early.
The other issue is how to maintain the paint because within less than a year you get all kinds of deposits on paint that affect the look of the color. If you drive on a muddy route you'll even have a fine coat of soil sitting on the paint, which in other cars you can polish out to bring back the original look. Now if I use T-cut or anything like that I have a feeling the Matt car will become quite a bit more shiny than it should be.
Does anyone have any experience 'polishing/cleaning' Matt paint?
