Owning Matte (Frozen) Paint in a Calgary Winter: Care & Protection
Factory matte paints (like BMW Frozen, Mercedes Magno, or Hyundai Matte) look incredible. But in a Calgary winter, they are a nightmare to maintain. One rock chip, and you are repainting the entire panel.
The "No Polish" Rule for Matte Paint
If you get a scratch on a gloss car, you polish it out.
You cannot polish matte paint. Polishing works by abrasive smoothing, which creates shine. If you polish a scratch on a matte hood, you now have a shiny spot on your matte hood. The defect is permanent.
Calgary Winter Risks for Matte Paint
The Threats
- Gravel Chips: Cannot be touched up invisibly.
- Salt Stains: Can etch the finish if left too long.
- Car Washes: Forbidden due to gloss agents.
The Solution
XPEL Stealth PPF solves all of this by providing a self-healing, replaceable barrier that perfectly matches the satin sheen.
