Sorry, its not a C-class, but it looks sweet. SL in matte white, and I think it would look sweet on a C-class!

I wasn't that big a fan of matte white, until I saw the TWC matte white m3. Matte is something you honestly have to experience in person to truly appreciate. Photos just doesn't do the sheen justice.

There are two eay ways to matt any color.

1. grey scotch brite and mild soapy water. Just wet-brite the entire car for matt white look. For even nicer finish do another scuff with white scotchbrite. When want to change it simply cut-polish to full and even nicer gloss or...

2. mask off, and have the local body shop spray a couple coats of "satin clear" directly over prepped finish for a true satin finish like in the photo. It's tha same stuff they use to paint matt body mouldings and bumper covers etc and popular on concept cars.

If you can find a body shop that will charge for actual time VS book time and has a decent painter should cost less than a $1000 incl clear. Bothe are better than wrap

I have a feeling that someone is going to be brave, try to do this themselves, and find themselves with one holy mess!

Satin clear was popular with bumper covers and large side moldings of many '90s American models

- looks cleaner longer since no reflective surface to back drop water spots and dirt.
