Weird question… I am having a senior moment…

Are the black plastic exterior B pillar trims on a Leon ST meant to be gloss black?

I’m sure the trims on my 2015 ST used to be gloss finish.

But I was about to polish them to remove any scuffs and found they are matte black!

I’m fairly sure that’s just happened with age, but it’s such a uniformly even finish, with almost a “soft touch” feel to it, that it’s got me second-guessing myself!

I looked at some images online but couldn’t quite make it out and I don’t have another one locally to compare it to.
 
No you are not alone, my 2014 Hatch started with Gloss black trims now they are no longer Gloss, not fully mat but not Gloss either.
