Thanks, I might be a little biased but I think this is the best color combination the midnight blue with the Amaretto interior. Funny story, I was looking at buying a new A6 and I pretty much settled on the one I wanted, which stickered out close to 50 grand!! I started looking around and I found this car on Ebay. This guy owned a brand new Lexus GS300 and this car. He lived in NY and Palm Beach FL and split his time 50-50. This car had only 2988 miles on it when I bought it. Needless to say......I stole the car and saved myself a ton of money in the process. I am an Ebay lover!! I had 3 other similiar opportunities to buy nice Luxury cars at unreal prices. If you find them fast, you can get them cheap.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for there comments and input, this is a very cool board, almost feels like family.

Here's to all you out there

Welcome to the forum!! I can see you will fit right in!
BEAUTIFUL job on the car! Love it! The reflection shot rocks!!'
I love light interiors too - mine has that as well - but they are a dirt magnet.
Gives you an excuse to clean the car and use your AG products!

Thanks! I agree with you but............there are sooo many products I have no idea on which one's to get? I think I am going to start with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant or Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze and top it off with Pinnacle Souverän, Nattys Blue or P21S Concours Carnauba Car Wax. Any suggestions??

Nice ride. I can say that from experience, as we just picked up the same car - A6 midnight blue with the amaretto interior. We had a devil of a time locating it, but it was worth it.

Nice job on the detail. I'm in a similar position as you, just starting out with a more serious detail than what I typically do to my truck. Any reason you went with the meguiars? I asked the dealer detail show what they used, and that's the product they recommended.

Awesome job! It is difficult to get results like that by hand, but you really did the paint justice. You will flip when you use the PC for the first time. It is like night and day over detailing by hand. +1 on the Wolfgang paint sealant. It's got a really nice look to it and topped with Souveran it is amazing. The Pinnacle leather conditioner is awesome too. I think your seats would really like it. Awesome work!

Fantastic job on the A6! If you decide to get a Porter-Cable, you will take that paint to another level of detail.

Black looks fantastic with Souveran, but during the winter, I'd be content with Wolfgang sealant or NXT.

Keep up the fantastic work!

The A6 is an amazing car! I drove an A4 while my car was getting serviced and the A6 is 10 times the car. As far as why I chose the Meguiars, I did some research on it and most of it was favorable. Considering it was my 1st real detail, I guess I did a good job considering all the positive feedback I have been getting. I was impressed by the product. I put another coat of NXT on it today and it looks great.

With all the feedback I have gotten, I am getting a Porter Cable. I can't imagine that the paint can look that much better but that's why I'm here.....to get advice by people who know. I would defintely recommend you do the 4 step process like I did. Meguiars website gives you full instructions on how to detail the car using their process.

My next project will be my other car, a 1998 Infiniti Q45 with a black exterior.
Look for the pics in the next week or so. Good luck.....send me your pics once you're done......at least you have something to compare it to.
