Yes 100% agree with power washer but it's more to take rough off not a high psi and wide spray nozzle so not very sore in my opinion. Polar blast autoglym snowfoam, spray bottle for alloy cleaner and brush specially for that and was off immediately. Never had ceramic normally wax haven't decided yet. Thanks again

Thank Gareth. Reply is much appreciated. Yes high enough milage nothing more than what previous cars would have covered and less chips etc. Yes I think I will get and independent evaluation done. I agree front bumper maybe have been chip but just not a 100% sure and photos will never do justice to what the eye sees. But the cill definitely has a question over it and what i see in person the rear quarter panel is something I feel is not right. Wash procedure Generally wash down with powerwasher (cold) wide spray nozzle not that high of psi. Clean wheels first with iron fallout remover and wash down then quick wetting of car again and apply snowfowm product. Sit for 5 mins use two bucket one for rinse and one for wash and the wash off. Not sure how good or bad this is but never had any real problems. Was due to could for valet and wax or ceramic coating but I have put this off . At the time of buying i was being offered a paint protection product £699 to allow for 10 claims per year. Maybe should have took it 😆 Regards Bernard

Hi Magnet, sorry I missed your post somehow. Thanks for including the level of detail you went into. I have had the cars since mid June, bought from synther audi west London. When I worked close by. Now back home in northern Ireland and have completed 10000 mils roughly. I clean car myself like all my cars with autoglym products. A d never had any bother before. Try do to it every 10 days or two weeks . Road conditions are generally not bad mostly motorway driving. Or main roads. I think the rear quarter panel is very strange and no physical chip. And no one has ever been in the back other than a car seat on the other side. The cill may have been something but I don't remember what it could have been? And front bumper maybe a stone chip but it looks more like a flake than a chip. Ut again I am no expert. And would be better getting paint depth tested. Yes paint work was seen and looked in good order as it was all prepared for showroom. An it was second hand d so didn't expect a new vehicle. I will try and get better pictures in daylight tomorrow.

Hi Spartacus, thanks for the reply. Yes car was bought audi approved in June, and is going in for a service and gearbox service the start of Jan. Great driving car. But yes the flaking on the wheel arch is what really got my attention. So will hopefully get it looked at then.

Hi I bought an approved used A4 avant mid June and have started to notice so paint flaking. One spot on front bumper. One on rear driver side beside passenger door and on the sill of the same side. What are the odds I'll get any help? Paint seems very thin like no base or lacquer?
