McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant — 22 oz Matte Paint & Vinyl Wrap Safe, Streak-Free UV Protection

McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant is a water-based spray that safely cleans and shields matte paint, vinyl wraps, satin/gloss decals and paint protection film without changing their intended flat appearance.

This spray is formulated for surfaces that must retain a non-glossy look while still needing routine cleaning and light protection. Its gentle, streak-free solution lifts road film, dust, bug splatter and light contaminants while UV absorbers help reduce sun-related fading on approved finishes. The product is easy to use: spray on, wipe with a clean microfiber, and enjoy no residue or unwanted shine.

How does this product clean matte finishes without making them glossy?

McKee's 37 uses a water-based, non-wax formula that removes dirt and contaminants without adding gloss-enhancing polymers. The chemistry is tuned to leave the surface appearance unchanged while eliminating residue that can dull or unevenly reflect light.

• Water-based formula avoids waxes and silicones that create shine.
• Designed to lift road film, dust, and light contaminants.
• Streak-free finish suitable for sun or shade application.

Will it harm vinyl wraps, decals, or paint protection film (PPF)?

When used as directed, this cleaner is safe for matte vinyl wraps, satin and gloss decals, and PPF. It is formulated to be compatible with common wrap and film materials, reducing the risk of swelling, discoloration, or finish change.

• Safe for matte and satin vinyl surfaces on approved materials.
• Removes contaminants without dissolving adhesives or inks.
• Ideal for spot cleaning and regular maintenance on wrapped vehicles.

What kind of protection does it offer against UV and environmental damage?

The spray contains UVA and UVB absorbers that add a light protective layer to approved matte finishes, helping slow UV-induced fading and staining. This is a preventive boost rather than a long-term replacement for dedicated sealants or ceramic coatings.

• Includes UV absorbers to guard against sun-related degradation.
• Helps reduce staining and color shift from environmental exposure.
• Best used as part of routine maintenance, not as the sole long-term protectant.

How do I use it for best results on busy detailing days?

Application is quick and forgiving: work in small sections, spray the surface and wipe with a clean microfiber towel. Because it’s streak-free, it works in sun or shade, making it convenient when conditions aren’t ideal.

• Spray evenly on a cool, dry surface from a short distance.
• Wipe with a fresh, high-quality microfiber in light overlapping passes.
• Flip or change towels frequently to avoid re-depositing grime.

Who is this for? McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant is aimed at car owners, detailers and wrap shops who need a reliable, non-gloss cleaning solution for matte paint, vinyl wraps, satin decals and PPF. It suits anyone who wants quick, streak-free cleaning with added UV protection—ideal for daily maintenance, spot cleaning after drives, or prepping surfaces before professional treatments. Note that while it adds light UV resistance and surface protection, it’s not a substitute for specialized protective coatings for heavy-duty or long-term protection.
