How do i maintain matt paint?

[daniel]

Hi,
I have a KTM Duke 690. Parts of the plastics have a matt orange paint. How do i maintain these areas? Do i just wax them or there really isn't anything i can do but to keep them clean?

Any polish and wax will add gloss.... So trying to protect it will not make it look right anymore.

Maybe do a test spot and see how much difference there is?

Not having that clear coat makes it feel 'grippy' or 'rougher' to the touch. Guess I'll try a test spot and see hot it turns out.

Thanks.
