By levelling the surface the light will be reflected evenly and result in a ‘shine’.

Use a machine polisher and an ultra soft, zero abrasive cut (Lake County CCS Concourse Gold (100 PPI) foam pad) with a mild chemical paint cleaner (Zaino Z-AIO - All in One) it will remove surface marring and leave it satin matte.

Use a clear polymer (Zaino Z-CS - Clear Seal) the key is to add surface protection and depth without adding gloss.
Swisswax Opaque products for matte finish paint and vinyl wraps have been specifically developed (oil free) to ensure that they don’t change the appearance in matt paint or vinyl wraps.

1. Wash surface with Swisswax (SV) Opaque Car Bath
2. Prior to wax application the wrap needs to be totally free from oils and dirt. Clean all wrapped surfaces with SV Opaque Pre-cleaner.
3. Spray a 100% cotton micro fibre towel and apply to one panel at a time.
4. Wipe off with a clean 100% cotton towel
5. Apply SV Opaque Wax to one panel at a time, this wax will provide depth without adding a shine
6. Allow to dry for 10 minutes before buffing off and moving to the next section.
7. After the wax has out gassed and set-up, allow 2-3 hours and then buff the surface with a soft 100% cotton micro fibre towel
8. Use Quick Finish Opaque as a quick detailer to remove finger marks and smudges

thanks. those were the answers i was looking for, not some weak sales pitch. i know friction & agressive polish with an
agressive pad will ad gloss to the flatness. ive been doing this for 15 years lol.

i still want to know if anyones had a matte paint under any halogen lights & if pics were taken.

thanks for your reply TOGWT.

I thought i would revive this thread as we are getting more calls for information regarding these products. The entire range can be found here.

PLEASE NOTE - With Swissvax Opaque Products it is very important NOT to let the Opaque wax stand/sit on the paint for 10 minutes. It needs to be applied left to stand for about 1 - 2 minutes then buff with a SWISSVAX Micro Fluffy.

I thought i would check back on the thread as more and more cars and bikes are having this delicate paint applied either at the factory or as a respray.

It is said that matte paint cannot be waxed with anything - That was until Swissvax made the Opaque line!!!

It will not alter the appearance in any way....

All the links are on the first post to the products.


GIVE IT A GO...
