sorry, you're not correct. caring for a Frozen paint job is pretty easy. i'm an owner of a frozen grey and it's been easy to take care of than my gloss job cars. the clear coat on Frozen finishes don't require waxing....it's just soap, water then drying. that's it. if you find that difficult....then you should worry.
small scratches are actually hidden by frozen clear coat because of it's very nature to not reelect light back at you. on gloss jobs, theses are always noticeable.
you can further protect your frozen paint job by adding a layer of special wax if you choose. just like a gloss job, doing this will give your car that added protection against small scratches, dried water stains, bird shit and bugs.
again...if you can't do that for a gloss job, then you'll find that difficult on a frozen job.
there is only one legitimate concern about owning a frozen paint job.....and that is repairing it. from deep scratches to collisions ....any repaint will be expensive because there are few paint guys that can do it well.
you can protect yourself against the deep scratches however by getting an spell stealth clear bra. i have that over the whole front end of my car.
if you wan't to hear from actual frozen paint owners over rumors , go to this thread and find out for yourself...
