Speccing out a G63 and considering designo Magno Platinum exterior. How does it hold up, wash etc?

Thanks!

The mango matte paints are very durable. No waxing/polishing though, just mild car wash/shampoo. They are also much more swirl resistant in case you have to use an automatic car wash.

also be careful with tire shines as well as bird and tree droppings.

Very easy to clean and I find that the matte paint masks dust and dirt very well.

Factory matte paints are as durable (if not more) as regular paints and are easier to maintain. I have a magno night SL63. I rinse the car, soak in shampoo, wash with scratch free pad in straight motion, rinse and dry. Make sure to use shampoos designed for matte paints - not too many out there.

I use either dr. beasley's matte body wash:

or chemical guy's matte wash:

Mercedes says to use their own car wash soap but it's not Magno specific.

You should be fine using any ph balanced car soap that doesn't have added "enhancers" or waxes. The goal is to keep the car clean but not shiny.

BMW "frozen" products will work too.

Hyyndai guidelines will work also:
