No wax. I was going to have it paint corrected and nano-ceramic coated....
... now I'm debating on wraping the car to protect the paint from chips/scratches... I wanted a white car when this one fell in my lap...

That last pic of your car after you washed it has nothing on it, no wax, nothing?

Mythos looks more true black with a metallic hint under virtually all lighting conditions. Phantom has more changeable look due to its "Pearl effect" paint: a somewhat "washed out" grayish cast when not in direct sunlight as well as under garage florescent lighting---also can have a distinct "bluish" cast up close in direct sunlight.
Had Phantom Black on my 2008 D3 A8L and didn't think it looked anywhere near as black as the Brilliant Black that cloaked my 2006 A8L. Panther Black Pearl on my current 2015 A8 looks more black than Phantom---And Panther changes its appearance multiple times with varying backgrounds and sun conditions, but is still more black than Phantom IMO.

I picked up some lowering links from Germany. Hope to have them on the car by the weekend.
I just need to close the gap between the tire and the wheel well.

I do know that. I did links on my last car, S65. I heard my local Audi dealer gives owners a hard time if you mess with anything via VCDS. I'm going to talk to some of the locals in our Audi club. One of the members is a tech. There are two Audi dealers in Las Vegas but for non warranty work there are some quality performance shops in town. One of them just installed a 4 wheel dyno....
I still want to use VCDS to customize things, including window control via the remote.
