How easy does the piano black on windows scratch?

[Jason1987]

I know they swirl easily just from washing but I’ve noticed a couple of long scratches on mine and wondering how that’s happened as I don’t think I’ve had grit in my wash mit or anything. Suppose a stone could have flicked up or something maybe

I'm starting to notice that every plastic bit on the car is like one or max two layers of paint, it's insanely easy scratched. Window piano panels still haven't had the joy meeting the road rock chips, but i got some large scratches on both mirror covers and you can easily tell just how totally unacceptably thin the coat is, were talking nanometer layers here.

I can't fathom this being transferred to more expensive models (like the e-tron)...

My door Pillars also got scuffed from a drivethrough carwash...Apparently they are losing all piano gloss parts for the new models in the future. I asked Audi at my last service two weeks ago for a quote to replace the panels , if its not too expensive i will get the swapped but i am yet to hear back from them.

Agree it's really annoying. I've had a ceramic coat from new and only wash by hand. It's not full-proof but certainly reduces the chances of getting scratched. I've not noticed anything of concern on mine so far - fingers crossed!
