Never let a women park your Audi...especially the first day you install your brand new wheels you just saved up for...$1610/wheel. Anyone know how to fix these minor scratches and had great success? Mines about an inch long rear right wheel...if anyone has any before and after pictures that'd be great!

Yikes! I had a similar experience with my OE wheels. My wife heard that the extreme brake dust that the A4 produces can be cleaned more easily with steel wool.

I feel your pain.

I gave the Griot's Garage Wheel kit a shot partly because I had heard good things and partly because that's what I sell so I figured at the very least I would have a good feel for it from then on. I'll tell you what, it took a few coats to clean the wheels up but it did a very nice job! It might not be the end all in wheel cleaning but it is a good cost for a good product. I plan on working with more Griot's stuff once it gets warmer out and I will let you know how it goes.

Check out the kit here:
