A solution for "polishing" matte paint!

I bought a matte blue Z750S and I wanted to find a product that I could use for polishing it. I did not want to make the paint look glossy at all. The only thing I found was Mother's Back-to-Black. The bottle said it would work on colours (as well as black) and was good for flat paint. I tried it and what happened was the paint became more like satin - the colour is deeper and has more sparkle. So now it is not 100% exactly like it was originally but I personally think it looks better, and now I feel good because my paint has some protection. Not to mention it has worked well for "polishing" out any teeny tiny scratches in the paint.
Anyone have any other solutions?

Cool,
I painted my Maxim 400 flat black (as it was in rough looking shape when I got it) Love the look, but no clear coat protection, scuffs a little too easy, sounds like that may be a life saver. Do you know if it's gas resistant?
May pick up some to try anyways...
