Ceramic Wash - Impact on 1LE Satin Finish?
Quick question here - My SS 1LE is fully ceramic coated and PPF'd in the high impact areas. if I were to use a car shampoo, like a Chemical Guys high gloss ceramic type, would I need to worry about my 1LE hood (stealth PPF) and other satin black materials becoming glossy?
Or does it really matter what type of car wash/shampoo that I use? Trying to not ruin the matte finish on these 1LE specific parts.

no. Any protection will not impact it
I ceramic coat my wrapped hood. It will giver it a deep black look but will not make it shiny. The only way that would happen is if you try and polish the wrap

The satin black mirrors, lip, spoiler, mine were always fine with whatever product I used on the car, the wrap I took care to never use anything other than soap and water though.

The only product I would be hesitant to use on the wrap is something that is a tar/sap remover as those would break down adhesive and may cause the wrap to lift. Other than that treat the wrap exactly like you would regular paint and use any product on the paint on it minus polishing it

Thanks for the feedback guys. One last question - if I use a matte detailer on my 1LE hood and other satin/matte areas, I'm assuming if if some of that matte detailer came in contact with the regular paint on the car, that it's not going to damage or hurt the finish of the actual paint?

no it wont hurt the paint just wipe it off.
I wouldnt waste the money on a specific matte product for the wrap.
