Looks to me like it needs claybar and elbow grease then a good wax job

Never liked dull cars.

Of course when I had the '69 Mustang the hood was matte Black to help with the reflection of the sun off the hood.

You really have to lean forward in an HHR to even see the hood.

You seem to have two threads on this.

So you're talking about a wrap? Well that ought to be expensive.

I like the matte look, but a wrap? Really? Seems like it would be cheaper to just paint it.
