Default 'cloudy' aluminum trim

The dealer here in KC (Jay Wolfe) has started carrying a polish called Wizzard. The area Audi rep supplies it to them (and maybe all dealers have it now) and has Jay Wolfe clean the discolored trim for customers now instead of doing a warranty replacement. I was there picking up parts yesterday so I tried the stuff on the trim piece below the deck lid on my 00 A8. That was my only discolored piece but it was quite clouded. The Wizzard polish restored the proper look to the trim...so it looks like that issue has been solved.

I couldn't find any polish by the name "Wizzard" Is it spelled "Wizard"? Who makes it? If anyone has a link to it let me know.

Thanks!

But that is only the case on the parts without the coatings.

I don't know anything more about the stuff except that it works and the local dealer sellsit. I would have thought that if one area Audi rep is making his dealers do warranty work with the stuff, then all dealers are. But you can call Jay Wolfe in KC 816.941.9500 and order from them.

Default Ditto...

my dealer used this exact product on my car... on the front pieces- did not work.

I'm going to push them under warranty- this cna't be "normal wear"....
