Compare Finishes

One car, every finish

Washing
Hand wash all finishes. Matte and satin need matte-safe soap — no wax, no polish, no automatic brushes on any finish.
Longevity
Gloss, satin, and metallic run 7 years outdoors. Chrome and chameleon are 5 — the pigment layers work harder.
Install difficulty
Gloss and satin forgive beginners. Chrome punishes everything — heat, stretch, and fingerprints. Hire it out. Install & care guide →
