Air Conditioning Mystery Problem

So give this one a shot if anyone has the time or inclination....

2010 2SS M6 50,000 miles, no accompanying or parallel issues or problems.

This has been going on for a couple of years. It is a an intermittent problem.

Sometimes on long drives the AC basically quits working. The air flow reduces itself to bare minimum and the cold air is barely cool.

After I turn off the AC for around 10 minutes or so, it resumes normal operation blasting cold air for pretty much the rest of the drive depending on how hot it is and time left on drive.

The AC has been serviced.

One dealership said it might be the compressor.

Another dealership said to leave the car with them and they would drive it around until the problem arose again. (Insert ridiculously loud and uproariously obnoxious laugh here.)

Another dealership told me next time the problem occurred, check the aluminum output line and if had frost on it the condenser was most likely bad. When I did that, the line wasn’t frosty...just cold and wet.

I’m at my wits in and I’m very close to having a dealership change out the entire system, compressor, condenser, ice maker..the whole kit and kibootle..

Any ideas?

TIA.
