I did see a matte Gallardo this weekend that had either been polished with regular abrasives or possibly Armor Alled or similar. It was spotty and shiny in spots, but still clearly meant to be matte. Poor thing.
I did also pass a VW meet full of rat rod Beetles, Things, a Baja and a ton of Buses. Not one of them had any shine. Perhaps the matte trend is just attempting to make new cars look 50 years old?
