I was very nervous about cleaning and even started a thread asking questions. I just got my first Frozen, 2016 GTS Frozen dark grey metallic.įirst let me say I absolutely love the paint. In summary, if you want it pristine and have the frozen look hold up, daily driving for 12-14K miles is not going to do that without some sort of worry. It helps mitigate certain dings, but once punctured, it allows other projectiles and grim to build up in those areas. Remember, Xpel is not an invincibility cloak.
Sure, you can put an Xpel wrap on it, but in Chicago winter driving, you will have damage to the film. And even if you did a respray on certain parts, it may still be noticeable due to how your other panels have worn over the months. It will require additional prep that involves potentially sanding and respraying. Regarding rock chips or damage to paint, a simple touch up paint will not do (unless you want something sticking up like a sore thumb). Which is not an issue, but you have to pay attention to what chemicals you put on as some may cause the paint to look polished or glossy. Special attention must be paid for car washes - only hand washing. I will follow up and say if I were in your shoes, I would no way get a frozen paint job as a daily driver. The below video makes it seem as though caring for it is not that big of a deal as long as you understand that you shouldn't wax or polish it, but I wonder if the video is dated (it's 5 years old).įirst off, I would preface by saying you should buy what you want, as long as it makes you happy. For those of you that are in cold weather climates, how do you wash the car in winter? I am assuming even a touchless automatic car wash is a big "no" for frozen paint, so are you going to one of those self-service places and just blasting it with the hose to get the salt off? Xpel stealth could add another $8K or so. Is it pretty much required to put a wrap on it specific to matte paint (Xpel Stealth)? The frozen paint will already add about $3,500 in cost. For those of you that have a car with a Frozen paint, how has maintenance gone? Do you freak out every time you see a rock chip or bird droppings? Or are there some posters that make a bigger deal out of it than it is? I like my cars to be low maintenance. In addition, because of the extreme cold weather, I can't pull out the hose and wash the car any time I want. I drive about 12,000-14,000 miles a year and live in Chicago where the roads get salted in the winter.
Let me preface this by saying this car will be a daily driver. My last two BMWs have had the Black Sapphire Metallic Paint, which I love, but am looking for something different.
