What are you guys using to clean your matte paint? Obviously nothing abrasive I assume.

Temporarily can I just use MucOff and some shampoo and warm water? It won't bugger it up?

On a serious note how are all you "dull" guys finding the matte paint standing up to scratches/ general road grime etc?

I find that using Sdoc-100 really helps keep it lookin awesome. No scratches if u use a microfiber cloth and ACF50 after to keep all the water/salt and grime from eating it away...

I had a matte helmet few years ago it was a flipping nightmare trying to keep it clean between flies and sweaty or oily fingerprints.
It only took me a brief moment not to choose that colour of tank!
But I will admit it is nice though not as gay (so not as good) as Orange ;-)
