There is no one answer. It can vary from year to year and what plant your car was made at.'00 Audi A4 1.8 T
'09 Audi A4 2.0 T Quattro

Re: Paint on Mercedes
Yep, it depends.
I just did a CLS500 and the paint was pretty hard. I believe it had the new Nano technology (scratch resistant) paint.-Bob

Re: Paint on Mercedes
I'll be working on a Black CL430 AMG tomorrow which has a lot of swirl marks but no major defects. I guess I'll find out how hard the paint is... :-)Comment

Re: Paint on Mercedes
I have a customer with a black clk430 and it initially had some pretty heavy swirls. It required using the rotary, cutting pad and M83. Finished off with M80 and the PC.-Bob

Re: Paint on Mercedes
I had to use a rotary + 8006 + M83, and the same combo with M80 on a friend's Infinity G35 couple once... 8 hours later about 40% of the swirls still remained... That was probably the toughest detail I've done so far...Comment
