Did you find a good solution? Same situation here - frozen gray parked in an apartment building. I'm considering Dr. Beasley's Waterless Wash in between pressure washes at self-serving car wash where I'll only use their pressure washer/dryer and obviously avoid any wax/foam brush (btw any recommendation for a good routine at those places?) Thanks

Yep, professionally applied Gyeon matte finish to my Frozen Grey paint, has made maintenance that much easier. Also use Dr. Beasley’s matte wash each wash. So far, all ok 👍🏼

Not that my matte paint would ever get this filthy, but I watched a pretty decent primer on washing matte paint, and I question some of the products recommended bc I cannot find if they are matte paint safe, despite his testimonial and him obviously using them
Specifically:
-Adam’s Car Shampoo
-Gyeon Wet Coat
-Gyeon Tar Remover
-P&S Bug Off



Anyone use the above referenced products on their matte paint?

Hit my car with its second round of BMW matte wax. Took around 4 hours, but I think it came out great. I highly recommend this wax, it had been about a year since the prior coat and the product inside the bottle was still perfectly fresh. I do so love this car.

I just picked up a new frozen white G80, which already has a stain on the rear bumper. The car was ceramic coated yesterday, and the detailer was not able to remove the stain. Can you tell me how this stain can be removed? It looks like it came with the car when it was purchased at the dealer. I’m having conversation with the sales person about it as I’ve read these stains get baked in and there is no removing them

I typically ceramic coat my customers cars with GTechniq C1 and Top with Exo V5 for Frozen paints. C1 does not add gloss, and hardens the paint up some. Exo V5 gives off great water repellency.

I also have been using C6 Ceramics new series, and it works great on frozen finishes too.
