Has anyone tired this new product from Chemical Guys? Its specificallyn recommended for removing stains, finger prints, bird droppings, and dirt from matte finishes without adding shine. It also has uhv protection. Sounds like a good option for matte or satin finishes.
 
I've been using the Matte detailer from wizards and have had good luck, however I have better luck as a pre-treatment than what I had as a stain remover. I say this because I had some matte clear panels I had to repaint after washing the truck and not drying it. It wouldn't remove the stains. however since using it every time I wash I haven't had a single problem.

If you try it let us know what you think of it.
 
Chad, I dont have anything matte or satin. I would like to but the maintainance of it has scared me off.
 
Just bringing this thread back to the top to see if it will draw any more responses. I have always liked the matt finish but never did a whole car in it. I will repeat a story I have often told. I had a Chevy Blazer with a stock fiberglass roof. It had a rough textured flat finish on the roof. After 10 years or so, the finish started to peel. I sanded it smooth and bought an acrylic enamel and added a flattening agent to it. After several months of letting it cure, I washed and waxed it. Satin finish went shinny. Within a day, it was back to its "satin gloss". I could wash the heck out of that roof, wax it and every time it would shine. Then within 24 hours, it would return back to its satin shine. That went on for several years until I sold it. Whatever combination of product I used, it always returned back to satin after waxing.
 
Flattened finishes are a PITA one wrong move and it shows. Sprayway glass cleaner is real nice stuff the wife uses the hell out of it too and loves it.
 
Is there a difference between flat and satin? What I am calling satin is identical to the finish of SPI Black Epoxy. Not a chalk board black,
 
Flat will have no gloss at all while satin will have just a slight hint of gloss mostly able to be seen at a hard angle.
 
With any Matte or low sheen finish an ounce of prevention is worth a $1000 of redo.
Make sure you have a matte detailed on the surface at all times.
Simple bird crap on a hood if sets long enough can destroy the finish but ok with a detailer.
 
By detailed, you mean some kind of protection like polish or wax?

Detailer spray is normally nothing more than a glaze, gives short term protection but does not hurt fresh paint.

All the compound companies have them under different names.
