Not too much done since the car was new and never washed by the dealer. Just wash, seal, and glaze. When the weather cools down it will get a light polish and coating. And Offroad (makes cleaning the wheel wells super easy) vs Dynamic mode for the air suspension (Took these before I finished wiping everything down, hence some streaks on the door/ fender). Also added the quattro decals and got the windows tinted. Still need to do the inside.

Another Great Use for Brilliant Glaze
SYMAWD posted a question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
A lot of cars now come with the lower portion of the side skirts with a rough bottom which holds a ton of dirt and road tar. Simply put some Brilliant Glaze on an old microfiber and after just one or two wipes, it is completely gone. -
I don't mind it. It adds 0 days for me. From FedEx to USPS to me all in the same day. 1:28 pm Delivered Package delivered by U.S. Postal Service to addressee 8:02 am Out for delivery Out for delivery with the U.S. Postal Service 7:50 am At U.S. Postal Service facility Accepted by U.S. Postal Service 7:12 am In transit In transit to U.S. Postal Service 5:02 am Departed FedEx location FEDEX SMARTPOST EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ 5:00 am Shipment information sent to U.S. Postal Service

Washed it in the hot sun. No problems letting the soap dry on the car, then rinse, spray down with DS and then dry.

First real wash/ mini detail in a year on my car. Just finished an 11-month BSN program (pretty much no free time).

I don't get how Smart Post adds so much time for everyone. Once USPS got my package from FedEx, they had it at my door less than 6 hours later.

It's hard for me to say because I don't work in service at all, but with any of the newer cars, the worst thing I've ever seen couldn't be fixed by simply resetting the fault and the problem never coming back. With that said, with 4 Audis in my family, not one has ever had an issue.

Got this in at work.

Wheel cleaner stained rotors
SYMAWD replied to DIZZYDEVIL's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
They should look fine again after a few stops. -
Introducing Adam's Ceramic Wheel Coating
SYMAWD replied to Joe@Adams's topic in Company Info/Announcements
What I would like to see is it applied on something that produces a bunch of brake dust and then see how much is removed just by power washing. Preferably on wheels that are silver (not black or dark gray). I think that would be the best way of demonstrating how much easier this will make cleaning. -
Paint Coating | FAQ's | Discussion
SYMAWD replied to Dan@Adams's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
The coating itself has high hydrophobic properties but leaves the paint "sticky". The boost will make the paint slick. I've used 2 other coatings so far and just leave them "sticky", but the boost would help dirt rinse away easier. -

Wash and Wax on Wheels
SYMAWD replied to SYMAWD's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
Maybe slightly less, but it's hard to say because there is no way to see how much the brakes were applied between cleanings (could have been more the previous week, than this week). -
Wash and Wax on Wheels
SYMAWD replied to SYMAWD's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
Here it is 10 days later. At least with a normal hose, the brake dust is no easier to rinse off, but once agitated, it does remove easily. It definitely adds protection as you can see the brake dust beaded up with the water once agitated. Seems like it would be worth using on your wheels every so often as it definitely adds protection. Before: After just rinsing: Agitated: -
So this should be interesting. Since there is silica in it, I figure it should be able to hold up to some heat and have some coating characteristics (brake dust should theoretically rinse off more easily). Let's find out as I update this thread in the future. Here is the initial cleaning anyway.
