Frozen colors protection

Hey guys, any links/product names for protection of frozen colors on your bimmers? Anything to avoid at all costs, any products that aren't good for BMW?

I looked over archives of bimmer but couldn't find a thread dedicated to this.

Frozen peeps need your help!

I use jetseal 109 for UV protection.
Waxed it with Swissvax Opaque
Wash it with a foam gun and Honeydew snow foam
Detail it with Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz

Haven't used any clear bra stuff. Don't like how it changes the look of the paint.

Dr. Beasleys looks good to me. Their website info on this makes sense. Swissvax opaque seems to add a bit of a sheen from the pics I've seen online

I use the following products which I recommend:
1) Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Auto Wash
2) Permanon Super Matte protectant
3) Swissvax pre-cleaner Opaque (which I use to remove sticky dirt in between washes)
4) Swissvax Quick Finish Opaque Detailing Spray (a quick detailer)

Agree with Barry - don't use Swissvax Opaque wax. It does add sheen.

Anyone here with a frozen color and live in a place with extreme hot and cold weather? Im spec'ing my build with frozen paint but living in NYC, with our hot summers and cold winter temperatures, wondering how it would hold up. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks!

Maybe a silly question, but I understand frozen paint requires different products when cleaning/washing/detailing

But if you xpel wrap it, how does it differ in washing it from the usual products fellow members have posted on this thread

Washing the car can never be easier. Nothing special require to wash the car......................I usually just wipe it with a damp micro fiber cloth. Even hard rubbing with the micro fiber cloth on the xpel matt clear wrap don't even cause a single scratch. Maintaining it now is a piece of mind, no worries when bring it to a car wash, or the tire shine splatter on the matt body. It is just a wet wipe away and the body stay matt.
