Default A deserving shine for my new E

Trying to stay away from any driving these next few days, so I'm putting my first wax on my E. Laying down a coat of Zymol's Concours glaze. I've been using this glaze for over 20 years. It was usually used on my Audi S cars, but to finish up the jar I'm using it on the E. I usually use Zymol's Titanium (made for SUV's).

I've never heard of Zymol's. I'll have to try it. The roads are very salty this time of year so it should help.

lots of traffic and crowded stores. My wife wanted to exchange an item on Friday afternoon and we could not find a parking spot at one of the Madison's malls. Waxing the E and staying home until Xmas Eve.

DrCollie Are your two cars the same colors? Something to be said for knowing what you love? :-)

HA! Actually all three. The SQ5 is grey as well. I know, boring. I wanted the ETron in dark blue but there were none to be had in Northern Virginia.

That is crazy. I am in DC and looking to lease one. I am waiting for a non white or grey one to be offered for lease. Just missed a red one two weeks ago.
Tell me your Harley is not black. ;-)

What gray is that e-tron? Manhattan Gray? I’m on hold until I can get an e-tron in Daytona (with BOP)... yes, kind of wish my 911 was an exciting color, but an all gray family is easy to accumulate.

I like the gray. I wish the edition one color was available on all models of e-Tron. I ended up with black which is a pia to keep clean!
