take a trip to a local to you detailing firm , theres a Few on here, let them work there magic with the car and they no doubt will give you advice on maintaining it after there work
I got cold feet in the end with regard to the Matt frozen grey paint finish. I spoke to a few very helpful professional detailing companies and they all said it was a difficult car to maintain. One company recommended having the car wrapped in a clear film was the best way forward for piece of mind. However, at a cost of nearly 4k this wasn't an option for me.
Also as the car in question was bmw demo car and had 3k in the clock since April. So I was very nervous as to how they had been looking after it.
So in the end I have orderd a new one in Black Sapphire.
From experience of regularly looking after a matte frozen Bronze BMW, they are fairly easy to maintain and can look stunning, and Gtechniq C2v3 is perfect on them (quick and easy to apply too) or a matte wax. Make-up and de-icer leave grease stains that will eventually come off!
However, you can't polish them at all, and don't underestimate how hard it is to get any sort of damage sorted - especially by BMW! Most of their bodyshops wont touch the frozen range as colour matching is an absolute nightmare!

Thank you. I will post some pictures up when I get it.
