Scottish Elises

The Elise Cup I've now got has matt black roof, access panels and spoiler. I've been reading around how to look after these, but interested in comments.

On the previous Elise, which was all conventional paint, I'd been using Autoglym (Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner > Super Resin Polish > Extra Gloss Protection as sealant for the full work, or just finish with Rapid Detailer). Clearly polish and detailer are right out for matt areas; I've read mixed stuff about the sealant on matt, but the name would certainly indicated unsuitability!

Anyone have direct personal experience for Lotus matt black panels? Interested in what you've found to work or to avoid!

AFAIK most of these paints used in mainstream manufacture are made by 3M. Do they provide any guidance?

I had read to use WD40 on the matt panels, seemed to work on the V6
