Bye Bye Blue!

Traded my Beloved XLR in today on a new Audi A5 Cabriolet. Mrs OT has MS and Fibro Myalga and the XLR just wasnt comfortable anymore for her. love her too much to trade her in and not sure I could handle a new model. I like the A5 better too. Much more room and I dontt look into w a windshield top pillar. Color is Quartz Gray or something. I have missed my old ragtops and now I have one again. Anyone know what to expect from 2011 Audi paint? I suspect it is hard but dont know. TIA!

Wow, Jim... sad to see the XLR go but congrats on the new toy!

Congrats on the new ride Jim! Yeah, its hard but manageable. Like most Europeans, you have to beat them into submission. French cars give up pretty easy but those Audi's can be tenacious. You are gonna love it!

thanks Ed! I got ceramic on the Ford. I am glad it is hard clear. It seems to be a very well built machine. The most expensive 2.0 L powered car I ever bought. AWD seeems awesome and an 8 speed transmission. We will take her into the hills tomorrow with the top down!

As a 2008 A6 owner all I can say is YUM!!! If the paint is like mine - HARD

edit: M105 with cyan works great

Jim,

Congratulations! My 2011 S4 is also Quartz Gray and the clear is pretty hard. Our Q5 is similiar as well, but I have never had too much of a problem polishing either one.
