Caring/Cleaning Satin Finishes, my way.

My truck has a satin-cleared finish, and my dude's 350z is satin white PlastiDipped.

Caring for satin paint can be a pain because of limitations of the types of soaps, detailers and protectants that can be use. Regular ol' carwash need not apply. You also want to minimize any rubbing to avoid "buffing" the finish down, since it actually has a micro-texture that gives it the look. We use a pressure washer and special attachment to get it soapy and washed, and follow up with some satin-approved detailer. Its easier to just show you!

More specific please. Is it blacked out/blocked, or is there another problem? AdBlock stops embedded vid's sometimes, so turn it off for YouTube. If you can't load it in the player, you can try refreshing, or clearing cache. Last option is just to click the YouTube logo and watch it there on its site.

If something else is happening let me know.
