Looks good doesn't it ;-)

I've spent some time researching the Frozen paint, it would appear that when first introduced there was some misinformation around the fragility of the paint, also BMW introduced an Advisory that was misunderstood.

Afaik its hard wearing, (some say more so than regular metallic paint), looks good when dirty (suits me), it should be cleaned with specific non-wax products and micro-fibre cloths. Essentially the important rule is not to polish/buff or introduce anything that would cause wax and to remove any bird crap, tree sap asap.

Basically it looks like a clean sponge and soapy water is all you need ;-), it can also be repaired/sprayed without having to do a whole panel, but needs to be done by BMW approved ...

I'll let you know ..
