Valspar = satin/semi gloss/gloss
Benjamin Moore = flat/matte
That is the only logical explanation for this. Acrylics in enamel finishes are all somewhat easy to wipe stuff off of. I've even used mineral spirits to clean it. Benjamin Moore is arguably the best paint on the market, but, brand doesn't matter if it's a flat or matte finish. This paint is basically porous, so, wiping or cleaning it is almost impossible. My contractors didn't even want flat on sheetrock ceilings because of this.
I didn't say Valspar was no good. I suppose it's worth the price you'd pay at the "big box" store. But, compared to Benjamin Moore, Pittsburgh, Sherwin-Williams or Devoe......it's probably lacking in quality.
