I'm curious to find out the downside if any, of owning a daily driven matte wrapped car?

Thanks!

Think about going satin. Sometimes the matte shows water spots more so than satin. Just on hood for me.

A Matte Wrap will be harder to keep clean. It shows dust and dirt easier but really there is no downside. If anything it's going to protect your paint under.

You can’t wax matte wrap and you’re gonna need to replace it prior to it cracking and degrading.

I've had my car wrapped in satin black since the end of May. I also had it ceramic coated which brings out the sheen of the satin.

the downside?

all the compliments.

keeping it clean is as difficult as it is an other car and it depends on your environment. however, I gotta say with the ceramic coating the rain runs right off so it isn't so bad.
