dealership car washes are probably the worst thing you can do to your car...

just do it yourself. Save yourself the trouble of the half-assed work

Any touchless automatic carwash will be the same or better then what the dealership would use. Then again, that Laguna Niguel dealership is pretty amazing, did they hand wash your car?

Soap and water is the way to go on matte paint.

Buy the Matte Care care kit from Dr Beasleys, after that take it to any car wash with your own mitts and microfibers.

Ask for Jim, he should be able to take care of you.

http://www.drbeasleys.com/

Tell him Faraz with the Matte Silver black series sent you.
