Frozen Gray

I'm looking at an M5 with frozen paint. I would appreciate any feedback from owners of frozen paint cars on maintenance or issues with paint and maybe things to watch for.

Thanks,

John

I have a frozen bronze M5 and have Xpel stealth on the entire car.

Don't think it's hard to maintain it (even without Xpel), people tend to forget frozen paint does have a clear coat on it. Just don't use any wax with silicone base or machine buffer.

I think the biggest issue with frozen paint is paint match in case of accidents.
