Auid Allroad paint scheme

Has anybody detailed the above before ? Im curious about the roof on this one i have scheduled next sat. Its black, big gray plastic fenders, and a grey roof.....The roof doesnt even look like it has a clear on it, its very strange. I dont have pics, probably wont until Im done with it, the audi site doesnt even have pics of it. Does anyone know what the h*^* Im talking about ??!!

I have never seen that before either, sorry I can't help. is it plastic like the fenders?

Go to Audiworld.com and under the forum allroad and make sure you don't misspell Audi too

Like this???

Im worried about the roof only, its a strange paint scheme.....

Armored, I will look at audiworld, I went to the audi site and was unable to locate, exactly what im referring to.........

Patrick- I didn't keep my allroad long enough to detail it (long story), but I'm still sorta familiar with the panels you're talking about. *I* would use AIO topped with BFII or P UPP. This works well on Audi plastics, or at least it has for me. Just be careful to apply it evenly to avoid streaking, etc. *I* wouldn't use a trim product or an ERV dressing lest it look awful after the first rain/wash.

Accum....so your familiar with the roof area im concerned about ? Just address it normally? Now, for the side panels (fenders), 303 ok ? Or go with maybe EO plastic polish ?

Patrick- Well, "familiar" is sorta relative, but I DO know what you're talking about. Had I detailed MY allroad (instead of getting rid of it) I would've used AIO topped with BFII or P UPP (or MAYBE SG) on *ALL* the trim in question (side trim included). When it comes to plastic trim on Audis, *I* always just treat it like it was painted. I've been doing this on VW's and Audis for a LONG time and I've never had a problem with it. It never dried out or otherwise seemed to suffer from my methods.



For me, using an ERV dressing or plastic polish would be a REAL hassle (keeping it off the paint, for instance, and getting it to look uniform) and wouldn't offer any advantages. And the first time the owner got caught in a storm or washed it, it would look crappy, whereas the "treated like paint" method would hold up fine.



Also, I dunno about using a plastic polish. If it's abrasive it might be a bad idea. Many of the black/gray Audi plastics are NOT colored all the way through (you learn this stuff when they get wrecked). I've used clay, AIO and Pinnacle PCL on them, but that's as aggressive as I'd like to get.



I recognize that 303, etc. have UV blockers and would "condition" the plastic/rubber/whatever, but it just wasn't an issue on any of my cars, and I had some of them for a LONG time.
