unfortunately to this day I still have not found anything to fix that trim piece starting from my 2000 S4 till now.

I have heard metal polish, I have heard window cleaner etc..

I just bought a black Q5 and would like to get it ready for winter. The dealer used a quick spray wax and it doesn't look that good. I have a porter cable and some pads. What would you recommend? And should I clay a brand new vehicle?

No budget, I just want it done well for New England winter! brand new black Q5, No garage, and the dealer just did a quick spray wax. I would like to start from the beginning. Thanks again
