Clear bra on a Frozen Grey?
Anxiously awaiting my M4 GTS, Frozen Grey, and wondering if a clear bra (XPel, 3M, etc.) makes sense? Given the controversial reviews and feedback about the effort involved in maintaining a matte finish, I am considering all options as I would prefer not to make it a pure garage queen (as so many will do)..

i did Xpel stealth on the entire front half of my frozen black m4. There is a noticeable contrast though between the unwrapped rear and front. Still debating whether to finish it off and do the rear. The unwrapped frozen paint looks so much better but would rather have it protected.

Love the XPEL on mine.... If it's something like tar or track rubber I can also clean it off without worrying about damaging paint (or the finish on glossy clear bra) Great stuff.
Suntek also makes a matte clear that may darken your gray a bit less (I hear it has less tint) I'd get a sample of both and put them on a section of the car before I plunked down the money |

I have xpel satin or stealth on my 30Jahre M5 (frozen dark silver) and you can't tell it's on (like when comparing to door jam etc)
Highly recommend.

This. Satin will make your frozen deeper looking without adding too much shine.
