Hmm. Im not so sure about that. You can easily tell the difference between a wrap and original BMW frozen paint. Frozen paint has a slight shine to it, which is pretty evident here in these fantastic pictures. Wraps, on the other hand, are more "flat" and matte finish. But I guess to your point, to an untrained eye, they might look the same.

Frozen all the way! Looks hot!

Gorgeous car!! I always thought the M4/M3 would look great in a silver b/c of the great contrast with the roof and any other carbon parts. Very jealous

Not all wraps are the same. I got my SS2 wrapped in Xpel Stealth, it still has the same satin sheen but with the added paint protection.... Even fooled the dealership today when i brought it in for my first oil service..

Looks really nice. I wrapped everything but the rear quarter of my car with the xpel ultimate stealth too for the paint protection. From an angle I can see the difference between the factory paint and wrap but perhaps stealth on a glossy paint job looks like the unwrapped frozen paint when compared side by side.

Frozen color turn heads, double take, etc... even saw a guy film me while driving...kinda scary to be honest. This winter we only had half day of snow (not even) so maintenance wasn't bad, washed it twice by hand, didn't take that long. It's still cold, sometimes I wish I could just run it through the car wash.

I swapped out for winters so cold/wet driving isn't bad, I still haven't had the chance to record some exhaust sounds, next week hopefully.

Why dont you run it through a touchless car wash? Just choose the most basic was/rinse option. BMW says its safe to do so.

Are you using Dr Beaslys or similar Matt paint sealant? I live in Vancouvre as well and put on order in for a frozen silver F80. I also have my eyes open to catch a glimpse of yours driving around...no luck so far

You don't want to run it through a car wash, their basic soap is not meant for matte/frozen paint. Besides, you spent several grand on the paint, might as well take extra care of it by hand washing.

I use matte products direct from BMW, matte wash, matte cleaner and matte spray wax. Dr Beasley's is expensive to ship to Vancouver.
