Can you give some tips on how to perform upkeep/protection these frozen paints? I've seen more people comment about staying away from them but they just look so awesome. I like your taste so i'm trusting you know what to do to protect them too.

that's fine by me. i would probably do similar. i don't mind washing my cars frequently if that's all it takes.

wasn't there a sticker on the window cautioning about the frozen paint? what did that sticker say i'm curious.

My detailer knows what not to use. Basically just no metal fibers/brushes.
