    Hello, on this 2018 Audi, I noticed a strange peeling on the passenger seat. It’s a very thin layer of black vinyl or rubbery substance.

I followed the instructions using it in a cool area and not letting it sit longer than 15 seconds before hosing it off and it left these stains on my wheels.

    Scuff on Navigation Screen (pic)

    I have this scuff on my navigation screen on my 2011 Audi S4. It's visible when it's very sunny and bright. I've tried lightly scrubbing it with microfiber cloth and interior cleaner with no success. I don't think it's a scratch because I can't feel any indents when I run my fingers over it. Any...
