From what I have read that is completely false. The matte finish is different from regular paint and requires special care. Basic washing only. No polishing/buffing allowed. |
I bought the maintenance kit from BMW, wax, detailer and hard wax kit. About the same cost as Swissvax. I clear bra'd the entire front end, lights and mirrors, as that would get the most rock chips, etc. To answer the follow on question the clear bra is a matte finish.
In Germany I can't wash in my yard, so I take it to a self wash, use the foaming brush, rinse and spot free rinse. Drying use a good chamois and finish off with a terry cloth towel. Looks great after. When I drive it, it receives a lot of compliments and looks. At Nurburgring, a lot of people come look, ask and take pictures.
I'm looking at using a product called Cilajet for the rest of the paint on the M3, that product has worked well on my X1.
