matte SLS AMG & Dr. Beasley's
 
First off, I loved the Dr. Beasley's packaging! Clean, simple, classic. Second, was the ease of use! I have a SLS AMG with the designo Magno Alanite Grey matte finish and it was SIMPLE to apply. Third, the car looked spectacular! I have attached several pics and it just in no way does it justice. I ordered the matte sealant, final finish, wheels cleanser and seal. Thanks again to Dr. Beasley's for the free sample of the tire conditioner, another classy move!

I "cleaned" the car and wheels with brand new micro fibers and 50/50 mix water and alcohol to remove any oils. I used a misting bottle to apply a perfect even coat of water on the finish. (see sealant instructions). I used a yellow foam applicator, applied in strokes in circles, back and forth and up and down to insure maximum coverage. I did each section one at a time and broke the hood into 3 sections. I felt I probably used more sealant then recommended but, there was no streaking at all. You could tell there was product being applied as it felt and looked like a pretty transparent/very light hand lotion.

The paint came out PERFECT! I will be keeping an eye out on the long term durability as I will drive the car often. If you have a matte finish on your SLS, give Dr. Beasley's a try.

As I mentioned, I was going to keep an eye out on the durability of the matte Paint Sealant over time. Well it got it's first test already!

Took the Mrs. on an over-niter, valeted the car at the hotel and sure enough next morning it got sprinklered! We all know how bad that can be. Plus, I had to let it sit and bake in the sun for 5 hours while I played golf. So after a hour dive home, it was time to test out the Matte Final Finish.
