John-some suggestions, car wash soap:
Koch Chemie GSF
Gyeon Bathe
GTechniq GWash
P&S Pearl
Pick whichever fits your budget. I have or have had them all and used extensively. The only thing you want in a car wash soap is a pure soap no garbage waxes, fillers, shine, etc….just a plain old shampoo.

For the most part detail sprays are “dead” except for if using as a drying aid or a quick touch up on a clean car so you aren’t grinding things in the surface into the clear coat/paint or the PPF/vinyl. If you need one on matte paint, the best I have experience with is “Nanolex Matte Final Finish”.

I've wrapped everything I own (yes, even my motorcycles) with clear protective film in years past, but I don't want to in any way mess with the beauty that is this very unique paint job. I'd love first hand experience from owners of the Magno paint.

Thanks so much in advance!

So so as a recap, I was specifically asking about wrapping (PPF) designo graphite gray magno - it's a more rare and darker matte color and the Xpel Stealth matte wrap clearly showed a color difference. It took a bit of work but I finally found a Suntek dealer that was willing to order a sample of the material and I will put it next to the Xpel stealth wrap and see which does a better job. Don't waste your time trying to call Suntek directly. They were woefully unhelpful. I'll report back with a full review comparing the two wraps and their effect on the color.
