    Thanks Phil, the car is already sitting on the 19" option wheels and I just got michellin pilot sports in place of the summer tires but maybe a wheel upgrade will come down the road. If im going "big baller" I might save up for some Ultraleggera's but for now I am more than content.

    that is gorgeous and looks stunning in your pics...

    A5 will hopefully be my next car, but the 3.2 Quattro is a bit beyond my budget with UK prices :lol:

    For this one I used the TAW un-dilluted because of the amount of salt built up on the lower panels of my car, sometimes I'll cut it with DI water and put in it a hand pump sprayer similar to one you use for garden pesticides and pre-soak the car that way.

    OMG..I have never seen an A5 up close like that. If it looks that good in pictures, I can just imagine what it's like in person...just amazing. The paint finish is amazing. Love it. The wheels are also amazing...I wouldn't change them for anything..just my :2cents:. You must be very proud of your ride..I know I sure would be; congrats!!

    Sharp car! That's odd that it's soft. Figured it would be rock hard.

    Really? I live in Boston and I don't see many exotic cars or anything but I see one of these or an S5 every other day.

    Thanks J Bell !

    Some may feel my garage lighting distorts the real look of the finish buts its just that in my garage i have lighting beaming down on every panel of the car all the time so you get a very bright effect on paint, its nice because you see the depth and clarity really well but I agree with you that the outside shots are better, natural lighting really shows off the lines better.

    I cant express to you how annoyed I was when I did my first wash and QD and found the paint was super soft. I bet the metallic black is harder than this but for now im stuck with it. Fortunately the paint has very little OP which is nice, I just need to be overly careful when wiping it down and such.

    One of the reasons I got the Audi was because around here in NJ there are very very few of them. I do see more S5's than A5's but even at that its usually a rare site. Oddly there are about 10x more BMW 335's around here, that is a great car but theres nothing unique about it now that everyone has one (my brother included as he got one a few months ago). I always like to seperate myself from the "pack":giggle:
