Products for harder (Audi) paint

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 are tough enough to polish out these problems.



Thanks.
 
The only stuff I've found to remove marring on Audi clear *by hand* is 1Z. I usually have to use the Ultra/Extra, which leaves (not-so-micro)marring of its own. Following up with 1Z Paint Polish removes this hazing. It's a *LOT* of work...



I really would suggest you get a PC or a Cyclo. Yeah, it's expensive, but with Audis I consider it almost mandatory. Heh heh, scratch the "almost"...I consider a *rotary* almost mandatory!



BTW, Ming blue looks great when it's all polished up :xyxthumbs
 
Oh yes, do tell me about it. I polished a minute scratch for about 45 mins straight with a PC before I got 95+ % of it out :eek
 
I had the same problem with some Saab paint yesterday. I didn't even think to use my 1Z goodies. DACP and SSR2 wouldn't touch the swirls using a PC. I had to get the rotary out and work each section long and twice!!

Heh heh, yeah, you have your work cut out for you. But once you get it looking nice, the hard clear can work *for* you since it reisists marring. Do a search on "Accumulator's Non-marring Wash Technique". It's possible to keep Audis *very, VERY* nice.
