i'm not sure what other waxes/sealants are there that will give you a more matte look.
I think people make it look over-glossed in the photos which is why I was mislead. I'd prefer a deep finish instead of a reflective one since my car will have a pearl effect.

I picked up my FR-S at 7pm last night, and I'll post photos later today.

This car is just perfect in every way...I love it and I'm glad I didn't have to wait any longer.

We can now start our cruise planning.

I'm at 600 miles so a nice, long drive anywhere is fine with me. I drove out to Stillwater yesterday for dinner at Marx Wine Bar. I'm down for whatever,whenever.

Yeah, I mentioned Stillwater, it'd be a great drive and we could hit the starting point at your shop Justin.

By the way, here is my car:

Picked up a whiteout at from Matthew Gilbert at Luther/Minnetonka. Professional, seamless and they have a blue mt on the lot. I was happy to drive straight home into my garage. Then i checked my pants - no shit - lucky me!

FUN FUN FUN

Got a little cross and powers out wherever pointed. Very nice driver. Smooth up gears and no hesitations. Sounds just like it looks it should. I am very pleased with this vehicle and will drive off the first 1k with a smile on my face.
