Beautiful! Enjoy. I'm curious why you'd clay a brand new car? I can't imagine there was anything embedded in the paint. Did the clay get dirty?

Didn't pass the "baggy" test. Long ride from Germany, and I doubt my dealer would have decontaminated the paint , so am predisposed to do this anyway. Used a medium bar from Chemical Guys - did remove a fair bit of contaminants.

Congratulations jwscherer, lovely car and the AW looks so sharp. Enjoy in good health now you have to find that short stubby antenna
what interior did you take? Fox Red by chance? BTW I like Walnut Creek, nice place to stay having great transportation connections to downtown San Francisco

Beautiful car and good choice of color. Get a stubby antenna. I like your wheels, hope they hold up as there have been some issues with 19" wheels.

The problem with the 19" wheels seems to be isolated to the style 296 so I think OPs wheels should be fine. I'd still keep an eye on it once in a while though but just don't get too paranoid.

Sharp looking. We have an AW with Walnut coming in June. I'll be going back to Zaino after I run out of my Griots products.

I think "Black Extended Leather" might be a hint.

Nice! For a new car, always do a full detail with paint cleanse, clay bar, and a couple layers of Z2 or AIO, and never let the dealer do it!! Zaino is by far the best.
