What do you think about our Frozen Polished Colors?



What do you all think about our Frozen Polished Gold finish shown here on our HRE P200? Frozen Polished finishes are really starting to catch my eye.













What do you think?

To be honest I love the design and color but when you call it polished I expect it to be shiny.

The "Frozen" portion of that indicates that we're using a Satin Clear Coat. Of course someone coming in and not knowing all the finishes we offer, I could totally understand the confusion, but that's why we call it Frozen Polished. Standard Polishing of course will come with a Gloss Clear Coat.

Despite having a Satin Clear coat, that wheel was polished for about 6-7 hours, you just can't tell because the Satin hides any reflectiveness you would have received and gives off this really unique soft effect which we've never seen before. Love it though, I'd certainly get a set of Frozen Polished Bronze wheels which look like this:

I'm actually awaiting some new photos, so I'll post those up once I get them. So far the best shots that we have of those finishes are the ones I posted, but we're working on getting more for you

Whether it's White, Black or Blue, Gold wheels are going to work perfectly with your 1LE

I am not much of a fan of "frozen" anything. Especially car paints jobs. The wheels look ok if you like the dull look.

Frozen = Frosted if you will?

Any special procedures for maintaining the satin clear?

Nope! No extra care is need, no special products needed to maintain a satin wheel versus a gloss one so you can do what you're doing today on this wheel no problem.

I will say though that there are lots of wheel cleaners out there which I do not recommend. The one I personally use which I know for a fact is safe is this one - https://www.esotericcarcare.com/gyeon-q2m-iron/

I love that you call it a satin clear, which is actually what it is in non-confusing/non-BMW terms.
