Autostolz Matte Essentials Cleaning Kit

The Autostolz Matte Essentials Cleaning Kit has everything you need to care for your matte finish.

If you own a matte car, matte wrap, or matte PPF, this kit is the ideal starting point. It includes three matte-specific products that cover every situation your finish is likely to face, plus a 480gsm microfibre cloth included free.

Why Matte Paint Requires Specific Products

Matte paint looks the way it does because the surface is intentionally textured at a microscopic level, causing light to scatter rather than reflect cleanly. That scattered light creates the flat, sophisticated finish matte is known for, and it's exactly what you need to protect.

Most car care products are designed to do the opposite. Gloss enhancers, shine additives, waxes, and polish all work to smooth and brighten surfaces. On matte paint, repeated use can gradually alter the finish, leading to uneven, faded, and patchy areas that can't be polished back.

The products in this kit contain none of that. The formulas are pH-neutral, free of gloss enhancers and shine additives, and designed to clean matte surfaces without touching what makes them matte. It's also safe for satin paint, satin wraps, and satin PPF.

Cleaning Kit Inclusions

Autostolz Matte Snow Foam 500ml: Your pre-wash. Apply with a foam cannon or foam gun before you touch the car. Dense, cling foam dwells on the surface and loosens contamination so it rinses away rather than gets dragged across your paint. Reduces scratch risk before the contact wash even begins. Optional but genuinely worthwhile.

Autostolz Matte Auto Wash 500ml: Your contact wash. pH-neutral, high lubrication, matte-safe formula for routine washing in a bucket, foam gun, or foam cannon. No gloss enhancers, no dyes, no residue. Cleans your matte finish and leaves it exactly as it should be.

Autostolz Matte Quick Detailer 500ml: Your between-wash solution and on-the-go safety net. Safely removes dust, fingerprints, water spots, and light contamination without adding any shine. Keep this bottle and the Pegasus Cloth in your car — if a bird gets your paint while you're out, you can deal with it safely on the spot.

Rockcar Pegasus Microfibre Cloth 480gsm (complimentary): Exceptionally soft, fully edgeless, 480gsm, and colour matched to Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir. Ideal for use with the Quick Detailer, and gentle enough for the most delicate matte surfaces. 

Your complete matte wash routine

Used together, these three products give you a proper, complete approach to matte care:

1. Pre-wash: Foam the car with Matte Snow Foam. Allow 5 minutes dwell. Rinse thoroughly.

2. Contact wash: Wash with Matte Auto Wash using a soft wash mitt and two-bucket method. Rinse and dry with a deep soft microfibre.

3. On the go: Keep the Matte Quick Detailer and Pegasus Cloth in the car for safe spot cleaning anytime.

That's it. Simple, effective, and everything your matte finish actually needs.

A Note on Wash Technique

Good products work best with good technique. A soft wash mitt, two-bucket method with grit guards, straight-line washing, and careful drying with a deep-pile microfibre all help reduce the risk of fine scratches that are harder to address on matte than on gloss.
