There was a long thread on this on AZ which of course I cannot find now
however I did find this on DB.
DJ_JonnyV:
"From your original pics, that looks very similar to the roof, front bumper, rear bumper and wheel arches on my Audi allroad - black matte paint finish. I remember asking the same question about these finishes. Best I've collected is don't polish them, I personally haven't used any traditional sealants/waxes on it, and don't let machines get close to this paint (tape it off!). So, what to do. I usually use a more durable spray wax/sealant such as Duraglos AquaWax or Prima Hydro every couple months. Spray on, wipe off. Hope this helps."
All I remember is that Audi recommends NOT waxing the roof or wheel arches even though they are painted.

No. It comes out with more of a satin finish after a regular wax and buff. Does this mean that you
may end up joining our team of allroad owners, after all??
ps: I can recommend some good products from Detailers Domain that work great on this application

That was me from Detailing Bliss...
Hey, Phil, the best I found is to just use a good spray wax with some Uber MF towels (of course) to wipe off. I never clay it, polish it, or wax it. BTW, did you end up getting your allroad yet?
