Black Betty is covered in a satin black one-stage paint.
For some time, I've been using Adams Detailer Spray as it has no wax in it like others detail sprays (i.e. Mothers).
It also can be used as a waterless car wash for dust and light dirt.
However, they have change the formulation and it's now more for shiny paint as it now contains a small amount of wax.
Many Muscle cars (new and old) have matte black hoods to , or other parts and stripes plus, one can buy a brand new vehicle in an all matte finish.
The last thing one would want is shiny matte/satin paint.
Hence I've been searching for a no-wax spray detailer for matte or satin paint.
A small thread on another forum started this search.
There are a few products that have been formulated for a matte/satin paint finish:
Adams Polishes now makes a detailer for matte/satin paint and has no wax in it.
Adams Matte Detailer (new product) which comes in a 16 oz. spray bottle or in a one gallon jug used to refill the spray bottle.
Adams also sells a Matte Protectant sealer (again a new product) in a 16 oz bottle which also is good for vinyl wrapped cars.
It seals the paint but has no wax in it.
Will now be stocked by Classic Performance in N.E. Calgary in the early Spring 2018.
