Just finished updating my current ride...Oracal 970RA satin white wrap

Orion install w/ Ehssan black out method and custom wiring solution for fade on/fade off and DTRL
5W Motorcepts Red AEs (backlighting the Orions)




Realigned the headlight so the hood gap is perfect now (pic not so much)

Just clicked randomly on this thread on the front page to see what's up.

 :thumb: Super clean look!  Very nice!

If you don't mind a question (from someone who has pondered on-and-off about satin paint on the car for theoretically completely practical reasons).  How is it cleaning/detailing/maintaining a satin finish compared to traditional gloss?  Do you  wax/buff/polish the same way or is it really a "wash and wear" kind of deal (this is kind of what I was thinking?).  Also, is touch-up paint work as much a breeze as I imagine it could be (no trip to the body shop to sand/prime/paint/clear/blend/buff/polish)?  I just have it in my head that, tastefully done as you have, a satin finish can both look great and be something long-term I could maintain - and keep looking great - with minimal tools in the backyard.

Thanks! . . . and again - very VERY clean!  I'm really liking the satin/gloss contrast going with the interior.
