    It's more of a semi-gloss, that's why they don't show scuff marks and car wax doesn't wreck the finish. If it were a flat or matte finish you wouldn't get away with it. WD40 does a great job of restoring the finish, just rub it in and wipe it off...Done!

    They are supposed to be 'not shiney' so that sun reflections off of the hood don't blind the driver.

    Too bad you're constraining yourself to OEM, LineX looks great on the hood insert.
