Default Can't help with roof, but

I do know that the body panels are heavier -- I seem to remember 20% thicker? In any case, that's what makes it heavier than even an A8L (was it Finman who called it "the fatboy of Audis"?).

Default The floor panels are 20% thicker to add rigidity.

I think the body panels are the same thickness.

Default I wax the roof on my allroad and like the results

I use One Grand Blitz Wax and it leaves a dull sheen. More important it protects the roof from road salt in winter, UV rays, bird droppings etc. (Works fine on the bumpers and fender flares as well)
