Kimi:

BTW, as we are now talking matte colors: how that works on normal use? You can't wax it, right? Given that you run it in snow/salt plus all other conditions, how do they hold up nowadays?

They hold up pretty well, waxing is not OK, same goes to polishing (especially polishing is an issue).

Friend had one of the first matte BMW colors and that turned over time a bit "blotchy", probably because of salt and grit.

Yep, older matte colors had issues, modern ones not anymore.

However, they seem to be a nightmare when it comes to repairs.
