Can someone point me to a video discussing BMW frozen paint process?

I've googled about everything I can re: BMW's frozen paint process. Can't find a thing. Can someone smarter than me help me out?

I agree - it seems to be one of those things that people seem to know some stuff about, but I've never found anyone that has the whole story. I've heard you have to wash it special and other say you can run it through a car wash no problem. It can be hard to find the official facts on the matter.

I just take mine to the local car wash (hand wash).

I did the same; no machine car washes brushless or otherwise. The paint is prone to chipping, though, more so than regular metallic paint.
