That said, it's easy for the PPF guys to wrap it in black so we can still get that look aftermarket.

I thought the white looked beautiful but it definitely needed 21 or 22" wheels. The front fender reflector identifying the car and being a USA earmarked vehicle, I could do without.

Right, the reflector caught me by surprise too. I’ve owned many a car and never had a reflector like that on any of them. Reminds me of the reflector I have in my bicycle wheel.

Am I wrong in thinking that the Gloss black wraps loose their luster after a few months? Or is that only certain wraps?

I have never done it, but my understanding is that the better brands offer a 5-7 year warranty which should indicate more than a few months of durability.

as though it’s Gospel. Our Lord is not involved in their design!
The folks who have seen and commented on my just-delivered Cardinal Red 450 have been unanimously complimentary of it.
They are not making comparisons, simply expressing their pleasure at what they see.

Ill never buy a black or white car ever again. PITAs both. One of the advantages of mercedes is magno paints. Best in the business. You pay a premium but there is nothing like paint that doesn't chip and needs virtually no care. Wash and go. My selenite magno looks as good as it did when I drove the car off the lot five years ago. 5 wisconsin years of salt, sand, snow and ice. Worth every penny. Ordered the 580 exactly the same.

Please explain. Why can’t you wash the car in an automatic car wash? I have owned a 2019 S450 and I always go to a quality auto car wash and wash it and dry it. The car looks like new.

my understanding is that the matte finish does not do well in an automatic car wash. The spinners can buff to a shine Touchless is perhaps an option but even they use a lot of waxes and soaps that can affect the matte finish. Happy to be educated if I’m wrong on this one. I love the look of the Magno Gray.

Did you have to hand-wash it or was it OK with touchless commercial car wash? I like to Magno color, but I could never see myself handwashing it3

If the product has any polishing abrasives DO NOT USE. Another no-no is any natural "wax" like carnauba. If its spray and wipe it should be fine.
BTW that 20 dollar bottle will wax your car about 5 times! Dirt cheap. Again, given the product is so durable and effective virtually all companies make one. It only works on "good paint" its useless on old weathered finishes since it doesn't "polish".
The "ceramic" portion of all these product is silicone oxide SiO2. It bonds very strongly to the paint and its extremely hydrophobic thus repels water.

If you are in another country just look for a spray and wipe ceramic "sealer". There are many brands.
