Frozen Black M3 - just detailed

Got my 2013 Frozen Black 3 weeks ago, today was the 1st chance I had to detail it.
Before I even got my car I had bought the swissvax opaque wax and Dr Beasley's Detailing Prescription kit, wanted to compare both products as there are conflicting feedbacks on both products.
This time I used Dr Beasley's Products.
First I washed it with the matte body wash, then while still wet I applied the matte paint sealant, followed by the cleanser to finally apply the matte final finish. What I liked about this product is that it doesn't leave any shine or gloss on the matte paint, just leaves that new pristine looking
Frozen paints are easy to maintain contrary to what other members have posted about this matte finish.
Check out some pictures taken after the detailing

Looks great! We also use Dr Beasley wash for the matte colors that come through here. Works well!

That shit is SIKK my fellow "Frozen Friend!"
I recently received the BMW flier about their own matte products, and the Nano Wax alone is $189 WTF!?

I have yet to use any product save the Expel PPF conditioner/protectant on only the PPF covered parts. I've NEVER had any problems with this paint, and I love not having to spend nearly an entire day with a freaking clay bar, sealant, and wax!!!!

BTW: I love that matte front lip! Who makes that if I may ask? Thanks.

I already ordered that Nano Wax but still waiting for it, the BMW dealer where I bought it said it is coming from Europe
The front lip is a CF Vorsteiner customized frozen black, I bought it from IND

nice bro! i am a fellow frozen owner as well (blue). I got my car about 3 weeks ago and still looks good so i am not in a hurry to wash it. I bought Dr.Beasley kit as well. I saw your brief process you outlined and....

I thought paint cleaner process was after the wash and before the sealant. Paint cleaner is supposed to prep paint for the seal? Either way it looks sick! You will have to let us know how the opaque wax looks on it...i read it gives it a slight sheen

hey buddy, thanks for your comments and you are right, I applied the cleanser before the sealant, right after the body wash. After I applied the cleanser I rinsed my car and applied the sealant on the wet surface. The last step was the Matte Final Finish, sorry for the misinformation!
