Frozen paint & full front PPF questions
Hi guys,
First post here. Just got my 2024 m3 g80 in frozen PB. It already came with the front bumper, lights and hood PPF'd, as well as the rear fenders. So it's not an entire full body PPF. My question is, should I wash the portions of the car that are PPF'd differently than the portions of the car that are just the matte frozen paint (sides and rear bumper)? Or should I just wash the entire car as if it weren't PPF'd? Looking at getting a Dr. Beasely kit for washing the areas that are not PPF. Thanks! |

Don't know the answer, but the car is gorgeous! Love the look of frozen paint, but would hate to care about it I'd probably wrap it fully in ppf.

Basically got 10% off MSRP for this vehicle that had <4000 miles on it fully loaded. Was a no brainer, think I got super lucky. Edit: not to mention it already had the front PPF and tinting done on it too, would've costed me even more to do it to my new vehicle |

Due to take delivery of frozen grey G87 at the end of the month
For PPF front end is it Matte or Satin PPF that is used and blends well with the paintwork without PPF |

Just purchase Xpel’s Stealth PPF which many have posted will give you a great match to the frozen grey color.

Would recommend getting the full car PPFed if you care at all about the paint condition. Frozen paint is a pretty big pain in the ass to keep looking great and if you ever get any damage like a deep scratch you're pretty much repainting the panel to remedy the issue.

Do full PPF for your frozen. And then Dr Beasley Mattea Film Ceramic your full PPF.
