What sealant or wax are people with this paint finish using with good results ?  I understand it's a "challenging" finish to keep looking good and wonder if some treatments are better than others on this paint.

 

Cheers.

    if im right then mica paint has a flat / matte sheen thats slightly metallic / reflective ?

    if so then i'd go with a semi permanent sealant , something from gtechniques; range or similar just for durability.

    wax will keep it clean and water repellent but without any gloss or deep shine to bring out you wont get the best from any wax so sealant for me.

    Thank you.

    Soft99 Fusso Coat Dark was recommended elsewhere but I've no experience of this product. It does seem to be classed as sealant.
