How do you all take care of your matte/ frozen cars?

Also - is there a duster I can use (can't use California duster, as it has oils in it)

Best(only) solution is PPF, every chip is very visible.

I use these products on my frozen or matte cars --- no need for a duster just some good water and safe products. But as mentioned above you will need PPF because chips are ghastly on this type of paint:

Honestly... I don't even understand why brands are still offering these types of paint/colors. They are a nightmare if chipped, scratched or scuffed.
Nice car no doubt!

Agreed, i.e., you need XPEL Stealth (or an equivalent) to protect the car. Same goes for the convertible but Ultimate Plus or another brand's equivalent. You can PPF the entire car for best coverage but ultimately after years of various cars and PPF applied I'd go with the entire front-end, A-pillars, mirrors, rockers, door panel edges and handles along with the roof (only applies to the GC). This will save you from the critical areas subjective to rock chips while driving.

Never had a BMW frozen color. I have owned 2 Designo magno (matte black) G63's and the paint is extremely durable and minor rock chips hide really well with touch up paint. As always PPF on high impact areas will give the ultimate peace of mind.

You need a custom mobile detailing every week or two. Or diy with special products that stores sell or bmw directly.

But the easiest way as described above is to get a pdf film on it with a ceramic coating. And then you can just use a hose to wash it off.

They also sell a coating for the seats, but I've never teated it on the leathers. But supposedly you can just hose and wipe the seats too.

You want the ceramic wax to coat and cover any dust.
