New matte green G63
I will be getting in my 2017 Olive Magno G63 within the next 2 weeks and I am very excited to finally get behind the wheel of a G. So I'm looking for some maintenance/product advice. I know the general rules is no regular products, no buffing, hand wash only, cleaning tar/stains immediately, and being careful not to rub to hard when cleaning.
Any other advice/tips/tricks for the Matte Paint? What about taking care of the leather to minimize wear? Lastly, anyone have any recommendations on how to black out all the chrome (brush guard / grill / rear tire countainer / etc...).

n/a
Soap
chemical guys has a great soap that works with foam cannons specially formulated for matte paint. It's better Han the dealership soap. Then they also have a sealant you can use. Both smell really good. Other than that it's not that hard to care for. I keep mine garages which helps.

I have read that wrapping it a risk..... The adhesive can sometimes be hard to get off after years and anything that helps get it off could mar/shine the paint.

congrats! Mine is matte black. Really easy to care for. I have a guy that comes to my office every Friday and washes it. I bought the chemical guys wash and detail spray. Both work excellent. No car washes and dont let any idiots wash it. Other than that it's pretty simple.
Which chemical guys quick detailer are you referring to. I assume the "matte detailer spray sealant" ?
Have you ever used the "Jet Seal Matte" product?
