So anybody have any scratches on the Matte Black finish yet? If so, any solutions?
I currently use Chemical Guys Matte products to maintain my paint. However, I just notice a very small hair line scratch after ridding over the weekend, suspect my jacket zipper was the culprit. Its barely visible so I'm not too worried but would like to do something about it if I can. I have yet to see if applying the Chemical Guys products again will help, but will do so next time I give it a wash.

I've been thinking of getting Chemical Guys matte paint sealant to protect the finish after washing it. Do you use this product? I've never cared much about detailing so I'm not sure what to get. |

Yes, I do use their products and I would highly recommend them. I have always had great results after use. Here is a link to the three products I use www.chemicalguys.com/Complete_Matte_Kit_3_Items_p/hol99516.htm |

I use Chemical Guys stuff to maintain my cars (paint, interior and tires), and their products are really good. Never used their matte paint products but have no doubt they will do what they say they will do.

Anybody touch up the plastics? I assume you'd need touch up paint? I have a scratch that I don't even know how I got.

A while back on the MT-10 forum, there was a thread discussing the matte paint. It's supposedly satin paint, not matte. This may provide more options for dealing with light surface scratches. A mild rubbing compound might do the job.
You can search for reputable sources on the net for materials and procedures as well as good autopainting shops in your area for professional advice.
