Hi,
I put a deposit down on the 75th GTS. It has a matte finish, and I've been researching paint care options. It sounds like matte is fairly sensitive to bird droppings, which need to be removed quickly to avoid staining. So I'm looking for options to lessen the risk of damaging the surface.

I see Dr. Beasley's has a ceramic coating designed for matte that can be self-applied. https://www.drbeasleys.com/matte-paint-coating.html

I'd appreciate anyone's experience with this or other matte care products.

Thanks.

Sounds like a great product. After you've used it please let us know your opinion.

We have discussed this maintenance issue before. But I think this is the first I've heard of this brand.

Thanks,
Bill

My local dealer swears by this stuff. I bought it just last week so cannot personally endorse at this point. It gets 4.5 stars with 151 reviews on Amazon for what that's worth.

I use Chemical Guys Matte Finish Wash and Matte Finish Detailer spray on my Sprint matte titanium paint. Works great and seems to protect and keep the finish in fine shape.

I've used Chemical Guys products on my 31mpg RAM truck and have been very happy with them.

Dr. Beasley's products are awesome..!
I can appreciate your dilemma. I did the same research prior to taking delivery of my matte yellow GTS. I've been using all Dr Beasley products exclusively, expensive, but excellent!
