Default calm down...

Even Porsche Carrera GT owners don't care when they scrape the bottom, so why should you? Jesus christ, its the BOTTOM.

Default It could be a Yugo and I'd think the same thing, it's just that it's only been 2 weeks.

And you know want to keep that nice new, for as long as can. But u are right overreacting a bit.

Default I had my car only two weeks before it made its first trip to the body shop.

Someone opened their sliding door into the fender (the valets got the insurance info). A few months ago, someone tagged the rear bumper while pulling out of a spot behind me. It was the *same* way with the TT. I try to keep the cars pristine, but it's a never-ending task. I've come to realize that a certain amount of willful blindness (to minor dings) is necessary in order to maintain sanity. So, I hear ya! It *sucks* that it happens so soon into your ownership.

Default Start with a medium compound.

Start with a medium level abrasive compound like Menzerna Intensive polish on an orange LCC pad with a random orbital. Finish with a light compound like Mens FP II. If that doesn't do it you need paint.

Default LOL - yes.

I'm a fanboy. There'll probably be a Q replacing the A4 soon.

Default Yeah, RS7 here I come.

I'm thinking RS7 if they come out with one should do nicely in the garage, not a fan of the Audi Truck exterior, more like the boxy look of range rover.
