Designo Mango paint help
Just purchased this car and it has shiny spots in the Matte paint. Does anybody know what these could be from, if they are fixable, or need to repaint? If the dealer repaint, follow up question would be do you think it is worth it to go through that process or would you just leave it?

That's usually caused by something you didn't want to get onto the paint. Oil or some type of incompatible cleaner. You may need to get a detailer to fix that. I'm sure you've already tried cleaning it with a cleaner for matte paint.

Those shiny spots on your Designo Magno paint are likely due to improper washing, waxing, or polishing. Unlike gloss paint, matte finishes have a textured surface that scatters light instead of reflecting it evenly. When certain areas are rubbed too much with a towel, polish, or wax, they start looking shiny. Fixing this depends on severity—if it’s minor, a high-quality matte paint cleaner or a mild degreaser might help restore uniformity. If it’s deeper damage, a professional matte paint correction service can reduce the appearance of the glossy areas without harming the finish.
