No sure tbh but looking at the pictures there is some slight spotting left but on the whole looks 100 times better. Am lucky enough mine are mint, just remembered when I saw this that some struggled. And this new seems a new polish to try

I fitted new ones and when the car was into Audi the managed to ruin them, booked in for when I get home for free replacments.

Not sure what Aberdeen Audi are using to wash the cars.

Be interested to hear how you get on - I am a bit worried they didn't realise the trims are meant to be matt as they called them "faded Audi metal trim" so maybe they have removed the finish which would leave you with not only shiny trim but unprotected trim that would need regular polishing to keep the appearance.

My trim have a few spots from some chemical used on the car once before but certainly aren't faded !

Thinking the same for me MB2, i think I will either wrap them or paint them black.... anyone think what the better option is?

Oh dear, letting a dealer wash your car, school boy error!
