Front Splitter and Side Skirt care

What do you guys use on the matte side skirts and front splitter. Do you guys just wash and wax? Thanks.

I do a regular wash and dry on them. Then apply Chemical Guys Matte Detailer Spray and Sealant. I use this also on the rims. Its worked real well over the years for me on anything black or matte. Spray it on let it sit a minute and buff it off. Im sure Adams or other manufactures make a similar product by now.

Thanks for the info. I am in business. I have a bottle of the Matte Detailer Spray and Sealant. I use to use in on my previous Camaro that had a 3m Satin hood wrap.

I did the splitter and side skirts with the matte detail spray today. You are right. The stuff works great. Thanks.
