C63 DR520 wagon.... Matte white
Niche question I know..... but has anyone had experience or heard about getting a wrapped car detailed?
I've only got around to cleaning my car once since it arrived before Xmas, and the wrap is in great condition still, but a little detail to get into all the crevises, and a good seal (if they exist for matte finishes!!) wouldnt hurt!
 
I guess you just treat it as a matt paint finish, Swissvax do a range - have a good nosey on detailing world or cleanyourcar and I am sure some stuff will pop up.

Sounds like yours is in good condition, the trouble starts when the edges start to lift - it's flat gloss white underneath isn't it?

there are no lifts that I can see, its been very well looked after. And its Calcite White underneath, so no hideous contrasts in the engine bay!

I just saw on Detailing World that they have some recommended detailers - I'll speak to a couple of the ones in the london area, and see if they have any matte paint experience
cheers mate
 
Simply contact 3M UK and ask their advice, you see its Vinyl and not paint, so ask them what you can and cannot apply to the surface.
Swissvax do a wax for Matt paint you see, but again its meant to go on a painted surface.
Play safe and ask the experts, you dont want to bugger up the wrap!
