The car looks great especially sitting on the epoxied gray speckled floor, perfect match!

I got my car at the end of December and today was the first opportunity to wash it. It was filthy! But, in NE you don't get many 'warm' days. Yes, I washed it in the rain, today was my only opportunity before the temp drops to below freezing again.

The rims were especially dirty. This is my first Audi, do the Audi brake pads always create so much dust, or is it because they're brand new and needed breaking in?

I experienced the same. The brakes become filled with brake dust. Good thing my winter wheels are gun metal so they don’t look obvious.

Wheel Wax is an excellent product, for keeping brake dust to a minimum, in my experience.

my wheels are ceramic coated. It helps but eventually they fill up with dust.

I'm actually going to look into the STEK DYNOshades Light Protection film to get the effect I want on the taillights

Same here — I had the 19” Cavos coated and find if I hit them with a pressure hose about 99% of the dust is blown off.

I just instlled the 18” Audi 5 spoke — after they were ceramic coated — and will be interested to see if the ceramic coating protects them as well.

+1
I use Smartwax 10100 Rim Wax Ultimate Shine and Protection and rims stay super clean, and if it does get a bit dirty just a quick spray down with the hose is enough.
