Frozen Portimau blue metallic looks so good after a wash.

Looks awesome. I am considering this color; how does frozen look with rain/snow/dirt? I live in the Northeast US and variable weather up here all the time so I'm concerned the frozen color will yield a bad look more often than not unless I am crazy about keeping it clean all the time (which I am not).

Looks beautiful! My Frozen PB is being built now. Curious what products you are using for wash/detail? PPF-ceramic?

I think the frozen PB hides the dirt pretty well. The only bad part about frozen colors is no car washes and using special cleaning supplies for matte finishes.

Why did you decide against ppf? Was it cost? Asking because I'm currently debating whether I should ppf once my car comes. I'm on the fence, leaning towards no.

For what's worth I have a Frozen White 2022 M3CX and the cost is anywhere between 5500-8000 for a full body PPF in LA, so it's expensive. For me I live in a mountain town so I wanted protection but also a car that's easy to maintain. I would imagine if you are in the city and it's not getting that dirty it would be a tougher decision

This my 3rd M3 and I haven't had ppf installed on any of them. Guess I don't feel the need to keep the paint pristine. A few rock chips on the front end is ok with me.

One advantage to frozen paints, no swirls ever.

xmanpro · 05-27-2022, 10:35 AM

Ppf is for the benefit of the second owner.

retroviol3t · 05-27-2022, 10:53 AM

Dr Beasley all the way..

No PPF here. Couple of places I called about stealth/matte film quoted me 10-12k for install.

I have a very thorough and detailed process for washing/cleaning.

I would happily eat off that car it's that clean
