You can't "wax" as such, Matte-Colours...
Although you can wax Matte, its not going to look very nice afterwords...

If ya want to clean Matte paintwork, the best stuff I've heard of to use, is Mr.Shine :( No joke!
It'll wax, clean, and keep the dust off for ages... but seriously, its the only thing I've heard that keep Matte-paint looking fresh...

My reasorce is from the Veedub world... and they seem to have more rat cars than the Mini sence.
