Morning,

I am about to take delivery this weekend of a FF LR, that has the borealis black satin paint, something I love the look of, however does anyone know if that finish requires any specific and/or special washing requirements?

Thanks

Yes there are lots of do's & don't's! More don't's than do's! They are a PITA so my customers tell me sir...

It does take special care.

Some advice here

My Son had a satin grey C class for a while. Not a PITA but he did need to be careful. Basically just use 'pure' shampoo and nothing with nasty chemicals in. So that rules out 95% of anything off the shelf.

We found this site which gave a good explanation of satin paint and what to use on it.

Good luck.

Oh and remove bird droppings asap.
