From my reading on the forum, the general consensus is that Audi paint is pretty hard. My car is a dark blue (Ming is the name), and has some swirls and a bird bomb mark in the clear. Meg's #9 doesn't do anything. I'd appreciate recommendations for any products that I can use by hand that...

I took my brand spankin' new Audi back to the dealer to to have him buff out some clearcoat scratches and take care of some ugly gunk on both wheel wells that I could not remove with Bug and Tar. I took delivery of the car with both problems. I get it back, and it looks like they used...
