Other than the tried and true industry names and products which we work to keep our readers savvy towards, we’re always scouring the internet and print resources for some eye-catching products. Whether it’s a pair of transparent valve covers or in this case a detailing product created for low to no-gloss paint jobs and even patina! Learn more about Rat Wax below.

According to the manufacturer’s homepage Rat Wax is, “specifically formulated for rods, kustoms, motorcycles, cars, and trucks with flat, matte, satin, and patina paint finishes. The product line is simple and straight to the point–Rat Wax No Shine Car Soap and Rat Wax No Shine Detailer.

One of the reasons that special attention is required when caring for your matte or satin paint job is because of the thin and porous coating of these types of paint. According to Rat Wax, “most waxes, detailers, and soaps, have either a petroleum base or gloss enhancers that contain high pH levels, which will damage these types of finishes by changing its original sheen to a shine.”

Here’s a quick look at some of the Rat Wax product line’s advantages:

• Cleans and protects in one easy step
• Removes dirt, dust, water spots, grease, tar, fingerprints, grime, oil, fuel, and bird dropping.
• No gloss formula for a clean natural look.
• Will not leave streaks or white residue.
• Contains no waxes, silicone, or petroleum.
• Designed to care for ALL paint finishes.
• Also works on metal, vinyl, rubber, plastic, chrome, aluminum, and glass.

The folks at Rat Wax stand behind their product, so much so, that they offer the confidence-inspiring 100% money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with the product you can simply return the remaining portion with your receipt within 30 days and receive your full refund. Rat Wax does specify that you are responsible for the shipping costs though, so keep that in mind.

If you’ve got that sinister matte black ride or love the rugged look that your car’s weathered patina exudes but want it to be slick, deeply vibrant, and presentable, be sure to check out Rat Wax and give their product a shot.
