I ran my A4 Cabriolet through a car wash and now my aluminum trim has discolored. The dealer told me there wasn't much I could do, besides put some wax on it, which would only help temporarily. Has anyone had this problem and does anyone have any suggestions on how I can restore the trim to original luster?

what are you talking about the aluminum trim on the A pillar ?

 

It's the trim that goes around the windshild, and also the trim that goes around the top of the back seat (where the convertible top meets the trunk.

 

I would take it back to the car wash and show them what there car wash did to your car I have never seen or heard of that before

 

Are you sure the trim isn't chrome? If it's chrome then I'm sure using chrome polish would take care of the discoloration.
