detail spray and a microfiber

something like back to black or vinyl cleaner and a microffiber

all purpose cleaner and a microfiber

rubbing alcohol cut 50/50 with water and a microfiber


play with the pressure of the microfiber for results.

Used it as needed on this. Never took the matte out.

Had my vinyl hood covered with Xpel, protects from spotting and rock tears.

I use the same and am very diligent about keeping it clean, it only takes a few minutes to wipe it down, I know I will get spots at some point though

Dealer had to take photos, share with GM, order the new wrap, and set up an appointment at a local 3M authorized shop. Dealers I guess are not allowed to change out wraps, or least not in SW Florida. 4 local dealers said no we can't, even under warranty.

Odd thing was I had to get a piece of the old wrap and give it to the dealer to return to GM.
Alcohol, chemical guys miraculous Matte did nothing...Mine is clearly a factory defect.

ckt227 Thank you so much for the encouragement and for saying that!
Thanks!!!
