Tried Dr Beasley matte paint cleanser, it didn’t remove the white water spots out of my frozen black paint…can someone recommend another product ?

I realize that it's the only type of film you can use to preserve the matte appearance, but why pay for frozen paint if you're gonna pay 6k to wrap it in a translucent film anyway. I would probably either not PPF frozen paint or just order regular paint and use the Stealth film. |

My Black Sapphire Metallic wrapped with stealth PPF looks just like Frozen Black. |

Aus member had “Frozen Orange” which frankly looked like a dark red. Compare that to stealth Fire Orange, and there is no comparison, the latter looks epic! https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1#post30161891 |

My next door neighbor bought a frozen MB recently & I wondered about it so just read these 6 pages of posts. Best I can tell, any polish/swirl added accidently or any scratch is almost impossible to remove (without repaint) & everything I have gotten pretty good at over the years using polish/wet sanding on a normal gloss finish is worthless with the matte finish? Will be interesting to see what these cars look like in 10 years. Seems no "paint correction" possible which I have gotten pretty good at, taking an older car paint, poorly maintained & making it look far better. From what I understand I wouldn't buy a 10 year old M with this paint.

I had massive water spots on my frozen paint due to waiting for a chip shortage at a port. My detail guy use a water spot remover for Gtechniq and it came right off. This was after I had done two hand wash on my car and the stains scared the shit out of me. I hope that helps.

Clay bar can mar the paint on a clear-coated car - I'd skip it on a matte finish without talking to a paint profsional first.

Surprised I missed this thread. I applied the BMW nano wax to my FDB2 F82 CS last month and absolutely loved the outcome. Took me awhile to apply it of course since you can't use a buffer, but it gave the car just a hint of shine while making the color look extremely lush I think. Water really beads up on the car now, the stuff is pretty thick.

(1) initial rinse, then foam with cannon where the wheels are also cleaned as the foam dwell, then the foam gets rinsed off. Second stage of foam gets applied from foam cannon and the washing begins, no bucket. (2) no foam cannon, makes suds in buckets and wash with two buckets method. Sounds like you combine the two, which I think is a common practice: (3) initial rinse, then foam with cannon and allow it to soak/dwell, then the foam gets rinsed off. Make suds in wash bucket, then apply the second round of foam from cannon, perform two bucket method wash. Correct? In this case, do you use Chemical Guys shampoo only during the first foam stage and perform two bucket wash without applying second round of foam? Or do you use it for both stages, and mix the CG shampoo foam from cannon with DB body wash foam from bucket during washing? |

One adjustment I’ve made on my new car (CT5-V Blackwing / gloss black), is applying the first foam stage BEFORE any rinse. I’ve been reading a lot that applying a pressure washer directly to a heavily dirty car can actually induce damage as the stuck on grime gets pulled away. The first foam stage loosens all of this before hitting the dirty surface with a pressure washer. |

I’m assuming they’re saying rinse first as in don’t go straight into washing/contacting the paint?
I see the value in foaming first and dwelling before the actual first rinse. A similar concept of lots of detailers using a persoak. A presoak is the very first thing to hit the paint, before any pre rinse. I’m seeing this becoming the norm more and more. I’m also more OCD about this now as black raven (GM) is a uni, so no metallic to hide imperfections. I will say, I only do this prefoam when the car is heavily soiled. 2+ weeks no wash, daily use. |
