Impressive. I've found that the paint on the 2011 Audis is a bit of a pain. I think they've switched to water-based paint like the body shops have, so it seems to mark and marr much more easily. At my work we have a client with a 2011 Audi S4 and after 3000km there were already permanent bug gut marks on the hood. I actually buffed it the other day. Nice cars, and they're rather easy to buff/polish.
At any rate, that one came out nice. Well done.
