Frozen Colors - Real World Experience?

Does anyone here have a BMW frozen color and live in a place with extreme hot and cold weather? Im spec'ing my build and always wanted frozen cashmere silver but living in NYC, with our hot summers and cold winters with snow might not be the right way to go... Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't know if you would consider it "extreme" heat, but I had a 2013 Frozen White M5 in SoCal.

I washed the car about once every 2 weeks by hand with microfiber towels ONLY. I also had to keep a spray bottle with soap on hand in the trunk incase of tree sap, bugs, dirty water marks, or bird poop.

I suggest getting the xpel stealth matte clear bra immediately, because the paint is a bit sensitive and prone to rock chips.

Thanks for your answer! I got some pretty good advice on this thread as well: http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1039981

Seems like a matte wrap is the way to go - I'll probably end up getting it on the entire car. Now my only worry is the 2 weeks I'll be driving it around Europe after I do my ED in the summer... Guess I'll have to be really careful.

I would also recommend saving the extra money for the matte paint and just wrap your favorite colour with Xpel Stealth. So easy to take care of as there's no waxing necessary. Just wash, dry and go.
