Matte cashmere paint finish

I'm looking at a 2014 AMG wagon with the matte white cashmere finish paint...

Is this paint durable...? the finish looks good but this car will likely be parked outside as I don't have enough room in the garage...

Thinking about a cover also... any thoughts if these are any good on cars parked outside

IMO, Matte white is a pain to care for. Can't really scrub the paint hard at all to take off stuck on junk. You end up polishing the spot and it is noticeable when you look at it at the right angle. I'd garage the matte paint car and leave the car with clear coat outside.

Just buy a good clean car and do a matte wrap

That said, the color is stunning in person.

thanks for comments... I do love the color but garage is full with some other cars with a higher priority... since this will be just a road trip car, I'm thinking about just keeping it at my office's private parking garage...
