Great gob! There were a lot of swirls for be "wasnt too bad" condition.
I almost bought an A3 at one point :)

WOW! Great job! I love metallic black paint (especially when it looks like that)!

[01chevys10zr2]

Wow, I think thats pretty bad for a 2011. Looks great now!
Good job.

I always appreciate these kinds of threads. Good before/after shots. Awesome removal of the swirls (sad they got so bad).
I also have an appreciation for German vehicles, so it's a double win.
