Which wrap for frozen colors?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
What is the best option for the frozen exterior color?

The idea is to protect the whole car of Frozen Dark Silver.

What is the best product which:

1) Will work visually perfect on the frozen color, so that you can’t see it is a wrap and not a paint
2) Reasonbaly easy to maintain
3) Does a good protection


Price is not an issue at all.

I've done a ceramic coating on my Frozen Arctic Grey M5.

So far , I'm very pleased with it.

Easy to maintain.

Otherwise , you can go with a satin PPF on the whole car.

If you want best protection go with wrap, not those coatings which is just a thicker wax in my opinion.

I used xpel stealth for my F10 frozen bronze. I guess price varies depends on dealer but expect to pay 5k+. I paid 8k for mine, but I'm in Taiwan where everything is inflated when it comes to cars.

I've got this on an AMG GTR and it is excellent. I'll be putting it on my Frozen M5 Comp too

I've got the Frozen arctic grey too. Loving it. Did the coating not shine up? Any pics would be great. Did you use Ceramic Pro? Standard 9H? Thx.

This is the only pic I have , after the ceramic was applied.

I went with the Gtechniq 9 years warranty.

I'm happy that the color didn't change , I'm in love with this Frozen Grey

I also have xpel stealth on frozen black, it slightly changed the color, adds a bit of a silver sheen, but on a frozen silver car it should totally disappear. Congrats on the great color and highly recommend the xpel stealth, it's saved me from tons of rock chips.

Thanks man! Nardo is an awesome color, any pictures? ya the matte would probably take away from it but to protect it the regular xpel would work great, you wouldn't notice it at all
