A mate of mine in the states uses Rat Wax for patina/matt finishes, not sure if you can get it in UK.

Yep, it really is that expensive Rob! Swissvax products are the Bugatti of detailing goods & mainly used by companies who detail Ferrari's etc. I'll try to find a link to the kind of work these chaps do on these cars.
