I am not a frost paint fan at all, it looks unfinished for me, but that's a personal opinion and I hope people who choose it will enjoy it.
However, I have a friend that has one, and I can tell you that a bird shit couldn't be cleaned with anything. After so many tries of different technics the spot looks actually awful. So I will say, No thanks... Anyway, for me, shine is an element of pride, of a car well mainained. |

I live and work near the ocean and my cars constantly get bombed by super acidic seagull crap, which will literally make a mess of your paint within an hour, even less if its in the sun. I keep a bottle of quick detailer and a rag in the trunk of the cars. This is the only way to keep my paint from being damaged. I was considering a matte finish m3 but this completely changes that.

Heck try the special edition lotus that came out a year or two ago. The paint felt "soft" to the touch
Pretty much means you can't drive the car...as it'll ruin the paint. Effing retarded. Matte paint is overdone. IMHO of course. Not to mention you have to relearn everything you've learned about car care.

It is not. Matte would be completely dull, like most foil wraps. Frozen has a shine to it (matte doesn't have any shine)

The matte/frozen motif has been so overdone in the aftermarket, that sadly I don't think I'd ever opt for it even in factory form. MB for me, or an individual non-frozen color.

Folks like Swissvax have special matt paint care kits http://www.swissvax.us/usa/matt-paint.html I was very tempted to go with Frozen Brilliant White but decided against it as it was just too impractical here in the north east (and concerns about others not knowing how to care/deal with frozen finishes (dealers, valets, friends/others) ) - Jan
