Looking for recommendations on paint cleaner for matte finish.
Just what the title says. I have a Cervelo S5 with a combo of glossy and matte paint and I'm running out of the Orange Seal stuff and can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance!

My bike is matte black with glossy black decals. I was going to buy a special cleaner for matte surfaces but we happened to have some antibacterial surface cleaner sitting around at home so I thought I'd give it a try. For me it works very well.

What do you mean by "paint cleaner"? Are you asking about what to use to clean the frame of the bike (as opposed to the oily parts)? If so, just use soap and water. I generally use household spray cleaner like 409 type thing. If I didn't have that, I'd use liquid dish detergent in water.

McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant works a treat, it's just not the cheapest thing out there. When it ran out, a detailer buddy of mine suggested Optimum No-Rinse, which is like 1/60th the cost (the 32oz bottle of concentrate makes 16 gallons,) and works on everything.
I don't hesitate to recommend either. You can probably find both products cheaper/sooner outside of Amazon-- I had bought both of my bottles long before the whole thing we've got going on now.
