    Review: CG Meticulous Matte Detailer

    Review: CG Meticulous Matte Detailer

    Introduction:

    Decided to complete the reviews on my set of matte products. This one is a QD with some light protection thrown in.

    I realize that these products probably don`t excite most of you due to the relative scarcity of matte vehicles. All I can say is that owners of said vehicles are willing to pay handsomely for skilled people who can properly care for their cars.

    Thanks again to Corey for providing the format.

    Product



    Product Claims:

    From Autopia Car Care site - Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Detailer

    "Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Detailer
    Designed for matte finishes.
    Can also be used on vinyl wrap.
    Safely removes light dust and dirt.

    The first matte paint, matte clear bra, and vinyl wrap spray detailer and UV coating protectant in one. MMD cleans and maintains matte finish surfaces while protecting the finish. Working backwards from OEM specs, MMD is formulated to clean, protect and prolong while retaining the original satin matte finish of paints, vinyl, matte vinyl and clear bras. MMD can be used after washing the vehicle with Meticulous Matte Paint Wash or used as a follow up detailer between washes. Uniquely formulated with UV light blocking agents MMD aids in protecting against premature aging of matte & satin paint jobs, vinyl wraps and clear bra finishes.

    Details:

    1.- Packaging: Plastic spray
    2.- Directions: Clearly labeled
    3.- Viscosity: About the same as water
    4.- Color: Translucent burnt orange
    5.- Scent: Perfumey??
    6.- Dilution: N/A
    7.- Price at time of review: 16oz = $ 24.99 (Holy crap! Glad I got mine for free. )
    8.- Manufacturer: Chemical Guys
    9.- Made in: USA

    Other Products Used:

    MF

    Preparation:

    Wash car.

    Application:

    Spray and gently wipe.

    Observations:

    Pleasant scent. Cleans rather well. I used prior to receiving Permanon Super-Mate for spotting following drying with the MetroVac 8hp. (They scare you in the "Rules for Matte" documentation so didn`t want to dry wipe the paint with a MF or even with just water.) Very slick.

    Pics











    I`m getting a lot of mileage out of these pics.

    Does it meet its claims? Yes.

    Pros:

    1.- Pleasant scent
    2.- Cleans well
    3.- Nicely slick.

    ???:

    1.- Durability

    Cons:

    1.- At $24.99 for 16oz, rather expensive. But, if you don`t have an alternative,....

    Final Observations and Summary:

    CG Meticulous Matte Detailer works as described. The finish was just as matte after application as before. Slick enough to not make me worry about damaging the paint. Excellent for spot cleaning (water spots, pollen drops, bird bombs). Kind of expensive but so was that paint.

    And remember - If you do get the privilege of caring for a matte vehicle like this one, DO NOT use normal products on them. That would get VERY expensive.

    Thanks for the nice review.

    If you buy a matte car, you have to expect paying more to properly care for it.
