Hello,

Lemme tell you, this car was rough. On top of it being swirled out, the paint was filthy, covered with fallout and iron particles. I am not sure the original owner or two ever had this car waxed or anything.

I hit it with an Orange LC thin pro pad and Wolfgang Uber compound. I probably got 70% correction? This was a case of how aggressive do I go, and how much paint do I take off? I went rather conservative. There were and still are LOTS of rids. But I got the paint clean and white again, and relatively shiny. I topped it off with Mckees37 High Def Paint sealant.

Can actually see the contamination on the paint in this photo.

An iron remover product (used a few) doing its thing

Gotta be somewhere in the 2001-2004 range. I had a 2004 a6 in the family and it had the same grille, lights and tail lights.

I forgot to even look at the MFG sticker to check. I can tell you its had a rough life. :)
 
Nice job! That would be a B6 generation, 2003-2006. Not sure if the vert was offered all those years in the US though, may have only been through 2005 here.

They become money pits fast. Lights are a grand each to replace as the whole front bumper needs to come off. They were xenon at the time. Wheels were dirty every week from light driving

Not my problem :) I just tried to make it look like it was a little loved LOL
 
The car turned out great!! My only experience with an Audi ended up starting out with a rotary, wool pad, and HD Cut+.
 
Nice work!
Those clearcoats are rock hard. A benefit is you can finish down with a rather aggressive polish.
