OK. But waxing serves to protect the paint, right? what do you do to protect flat black?

well thats the thing. you can wash it, but since the flat or "matte" color, thats as much as you can do basically if you want it to stay flat. it'll start fading over time especially parked out in the sun and preserving it means repainting it flat black.
