They're all positive because it's a unique car. Personally, I would never buy a matte whatever because it'd just always make me nervous for scratches which would diminish any enjoyment I'd get from it.

OMG my next car has to be a frozen colour !

BMWPower06 · 04-26-2011, 11:07 PM

lookin good!!

BMWBoss · 04-26-2011, 11:44 PM

Your car looks beautiful!!...If it was a girl I'd probably try to take it out on a date

Wow, looks fantastic. I was getting the impression that all the upkeep and maintenance required for the frozen colors was just too much and not worth the hassle, but it's nice to know this product can bring the color back to it's original luster with a little effort. I'm assuming that's the detailers shop as well? Looks like a nice little setup!

coooool!!!

SpencerM3 · 04-27-2011, 12:04 AM

Looks amazing!

e92stance · 04-27-2011, 01:11 AM

Looks great, great work and attention to detail.....but one quick comment/question: isnt the whole point of having a "matte/frozen" car to see it dull and matte? I am asking myself why you would wax it at all??? Just my opinion....not a fan of the matte fad and I think it really looks like vinyl especially after the wax....Sexy and rare car though!

kaykay · 04-27-2011, 01:30 AM

Looks fantastic, nothing better than Swissvax

biglare · 04-27-2011, 03:27 AM

WOW!!! Very nicely done!

AMPowerJ · 04-27-2011, 08:02 AM

Looks great but I still don't think you are supposed to wax a matt finished car.

Is it just me or does it now look more like a satin black?

Matski · 04-27-2011, 12:30 PM

Pete, did I see your ar at Wollaston BMW a few weeks back? same time as a Z8 was on show?

chemgeek · 04-27-2011, 01:21 PM

Paint warranty voided. Would be funny if in two or three years all the frozen painted cars started to fade as a result of some bug in the painting method or the paint itself. This guy would be SOL.

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't give a shit since he's got enough cash to throw around to pick up a lambo.

aussie · 04-27-2011, 01:31 PM

Love it, looks amazing, considering this for my next one now.....

Hm, I doubt that. Swissvax has products especially for matte paint, don't think they would risk their name when those products would cause any harm to matte paint. Besides that, why wouldn't you wax matte paint, I guess it needs the same protection as regular paint? Wonder what bird poo would do on matte finish?

To the OP, car looks great, also saw it on detailingworld.co.uk.

MotrsportM3 · 04-27-2011, 04:20 PM

Zymol can also be used with similar if not better results.

I use Zymol Vintage which has an awesome look and effect on the Matte.

..why would companies sell turbo tunes for an N54 engine that resulted in voided warranties for all kinds of people? Why do companies sell wheels and tires that void suspensions warranties? Because people will buy them.

I was under the impression that the matte finishes had no clear coats on them and as such would not need polishing (polish just smooths the edges of the swirls in the clear coat and wax fills in the voids so you don't seem them and gives the paint finish a pop). I don't mean to flame this thread, but if the product were advertised as a paint sealant that might make more sense in my mind.

Amazing job man! Definitely took my doubts and concerns out on not being able to wax a car with a matte finish...
