no wax, just wash it, and a rattle can with some wetsanding could fix it.

^^ looks like they got too caught up with performance on the firehawk. the appearance could definitely use
some attention, that hood needs help.

seeing al the flat/satin black paint jobs really makes me want to go in that direction with my next paint job. i
just need to find out more about it durability wise, and exactly how to care for it, i always hear people tell completely
different stories about how it is to maintain. i'd love to do a satin black
camaro with all the accents done in a gloss black.

I know I'm out of my element but I couldn't resist...although mine is epoxy primer (blue paint clear flaked and rust was a concern, so I sanded and took it to be sprayed)

This paint job cost me 12-14 hours sanding, $200 labor for taping/spraying/additional sanding and prep, and $200 a gallon of PPG brand epoxy and 1 quart catalyst ( i still have well over half a gallon). I have got more compliments on it as a satin black car than I got with the 96 grand sport vette blue/ alpine white stripe paint job that cost me $1600. The car went from "pretty" to ******* sick and looks like it wants to eat babies.
