Matte paint is difficult to maintain. A signed agreement between owners of the Frozen Gray M3 and BMW includes:
  • Never polish or wax the frozen gray paint as it could lead to a glossy surface.
  • If washing your frozen gray M3 in a automatic car wash, choose a car wash that does not apply vehicle wax. Rinse the M3 with high pressure water to remove dirt before sending it through the automatic car wash to avoid scratches from sand, dust and other micro-particles.
  • Remove bugs, bird poo, tree sap, tar, fuel spills or oil immediately using a soft sponge.

Wow, I was unaware that you could actually order a 'Frozen ___ color'. Interesting.
