I just pulled the trigger on a 2020 Whyte 905.
It has a Matt finish to the frame, this is a 1st for me, what do you guys use on Matt frames to keep the finish looking good?

    My Scott road bike has a matt finish. I've learned to love the greasy fingerprints; I can pretend I've just got it back from the team mechanic mid race...

    I've just got a nice cheap HT frame with matt black finish.

    I've covered a lot of it with frame protector tape, so it's a bit shinier now.

    I've also used silicone `frame` spray and that can make it look (and smell) nice.

    Or cake it in mud and just enjoy it for what it is! :D

    I just use a bucket of water and a sponge with a small squirt of whatever cleaner I have at hand, usually a bit of fairy liquid or whatever.
    My hose pipe also has a sprinkler mode so I sometimes use that if the mud has dried.
