BMW Frozen Silver Metallic Paint Care

My new Frozen Silver Metallic F80 finally arrived and I was wondering if anybody with a frozen metallic color could give me some advice on washing the car? I have had people tell me since it is metallic you don't have to be as careful about washing the paint but others have said it is impossible to wash. Is there a difference between matte frozen paint and frozen metallic paint? Any help would be great! Thanks!

I have a frozen black M4, this is my 2nd frozen black M. You can wash it as many times as you want as long as you use a matte car shampoo, never use the regular car shampoos, you will ruin the matte finish, they will make the matte paint to become shiny
What i use is Dr Beasly matte car shampoo, sealer, cleanser, matte finish and also bmw matte nano wax, i have tried the swissvax opaque but prefer the bmw wax, swissvax leaves a more shiny look while the bmw wax leaves a metallic look, if you need any advise on how to take care of this paint just text me at 786-210-1019

I have a frozen white 18 comp pack. I love it. It’s way more low maintenance than a gloss paint. I wash my car maybe once every 2 weeks and I used to wash my cars 3-4 times per week. I use a lot of matte detail spray. I wipe down my car at least 2 times per day. Put some PPF on your car though because rock chip repair is very difficult on these cars. I use Chemical guys meticulous matte wash and detail spray and I also have Dr. Beasley’s matte cleanser and BMW matte nano wax. Poor boys world is about to release a matte detail spray and I like it the best of any I’ve tried. Keep an eye out for it also.
