Yes, that's what it's for. It makes a gloss finish dull.

dullcoat will work on the gloss ?

To bring out the details, try using a thin black wash. I use the pastel chalk and water myself, and am quite happy with the results. As for wear, dry brush a lighter shade of each color you have on your helo. It looks like you need to tone down the glossy look on your tires also. Hope this helps. Be sure and post some pics when you are done.
