EDIT-----

Actually, I think I am wrong. If I look at the below picture from when I first got the car, it seems like there is still a glossy look on the doors at this angle.


I am convinced the Dr Beasley sealant does not add any matte. The car is meant to have a slight sheen. The Swissvax one does add a very slight amount of sheen. This means swissvax is good to use if your paint has dulled, but if its a new frozen car, I would avoid swissvax.

My favorite sealants for this car are:
Nanolex Matte Sealant
Dr Beasley's Matte Sealant
Permanon Supermatte

The Permanon does not last as long as the others, but it is the easiest to apply and is a good thing to apply in between details (you just spray it onto the car and rinse off. No need to work in.

I used Nanolex when I bought mine, Dr Beasley's at one year, and am getting Dr Beasley's done again today at 2 years.
