Flat paint care

OK, I've seen some sweet rides that are flat around the scene.
My question is...How do you care for this style paint?

I know you can wax it at all, so is there anything you do to protect it?
When rains on it and get water spots. how to you clean that?
How hard is it to keep even looking? does it stain if something gets on it and how do you clean it off if it does?

Re: Flat paint care

some flat paints can actually get even again after a little time of abuse by shooting an even coat of reducer on them. one that brings to mind is ppg flexed and flat, since solvents can actually soften it.
