Default My First Audi

On Saturday I was finally able to pick up my first audi. It is a black a4tqm avant with 120k miles. I am so stoked that I was finally able to pick up the car of my dreams. I had wanted this car for awhile and posted up about the airbag light being on. Within the first 2 days of getting the car I had already put 300 miles on it. It is such a nice car compared to my 1992 honda accord. My only question is on some parts of the car the paint feels rough and I am wondering if there is something I can do about this. I plan on waxing the car this weekend but after washing it tonight it still feels rough. I will post pics a tomorrow of my new baby but some help with the rough paint would be excellent.

Rough spots could be from where wax was previously not "wax off"'d. Congrats!

Thanks guys. I will be getting up the pics tonight. I have already debadged the car. It looks a lot more clean without the a4 and 1.8t decals.

You think I should debadge mine? I've been playing with the idea but I'm not too sure.

Yeah debadging really makes the car look just a lot sleeker. For some reason I can't post the pictures. I read the FAQ's and it says that I need to start a new post. This can't be right because I have seen people reply with photos.
