I've had two Frozen Bronze 6er's and I settled on Swissvax Opaque.

The first car (640i GC Individual that was used as a display car for a brief time) had Permanon applied. I hated it and in fact, it was one of the reasons I got rid of it. There were a few spots where it "ran" and nothing would remove those unsightly blemishes. After numerous attempts (including having Paul Dalton take a crack at it), gave up in frustration. From that point forward, I avoided anything permanent or semi-permanent out of fear of having history repeat itself. I've also seen the others, such as Dr. Beasley's, applied to cars with similar finishes. They all will slightly change the characteristics of the color. Unless it's a matte wrap, or a matte sprayed on coating, simple physics will cause this subtle change. One must keep in mind, the Frozen paints are truly satin an not matte. The base coats are a metallic or pearl color with a gloss, then matte clear applied. End result is a satin color.

Quite honestly the fewer washes, the better frozen holds up and given its frosty clear, it doesn't look dingy as often as a gloss car. If for peace of mind alone, try the Swissvax and give it some time. At least with it, the product can be easily removed.
