Matte Sand

Inozetek Matte Sand is a matte beige film from Inozetek's Frozen Matte range, catalogued as FM3016. Inozetek lists 4 other beige shades, so it is worth seeing them side by side before you settle on one.

This is color change wrap vinyl from Inozetek's Frozen Matte line. It resurfaces the car in a new color and can be removed later without touching the factory paint underneath, which is why wraps hold resale value in a way a respray does not. Vinyl changes how the car looks; it is not impact protection, so if you also want the paint shielded from rock chips, the same kind of color exists as color paint protection film at a higher price.

The matte finish

Matte kills reflection completely, which makes body lines read sculptural instead of shiny. It is the most demanding finish to own and the rules are simple but absolute: hand wash only, no wax, no polish, no machine buffer, and no automatic car wash. Any of those will burnish shine into the surface permanently, and the shiny patch cannot be undone.

Care: hand wash only. No wax, no polish, no machine buffer and no automatic car wash — all four permanently burnish shine into a matte surface.
