Lack of inspiration and desperation to milk the model.

Soo.. I got one of these in this color. There doesn't seem to be much of a clear coat. Anybody else got a Protonic and have tips on cleaning this paint? I'm afraid of scratching or swirlies.

i got one as well, best care of it is get the Chemical guys Matte kit, wash it then "wax" with Jetseal matte, for general maintenance use the CG matte detail that is in the kit or the Adams matte detailer.
