I have a phantom black 2011 S4 and I washed and detailed
my car this pass weekend. The front bumper looks like a mess.
I have 7k on the car and aside what I believe are premature rock chips
that I can't do much about besides touch up and blob smoothing.
I can see small imperfections in the paint. Tiny bubbles that look like
dust when the bumper was painted and also weird marks/lines in the paint.
I'm wondering if I should bring these up to the dealer or are they
going to just tell me your crazy. I kinda have the feeling that they might have sprayed the bumper
after delivery. Maybe in transit something was damaged. It will be hard for them to notice because
The car overall looks great thanks to my claying , polishing, and waxing.
Even if they do something they will probably just want to respray it at there
auto body shop and overall it would probably be worst off because now it
won't have factory paint.
Should I bring this up to them or not.
Anyone else notice the front bumper has imperfections?

After 7k miles, IMHO,its difficult to get Audi to do anything at this time. If you had notice this condition immediately or soon after taking delivery it would be a different story. If it really bothers you, have it resprayed. Then put on a clear bra. Otherwise, you will have the same condition reoccur in another 5-7K miles. BTW, it has been my experience that most paint chips come from highway driving. What percentage of your driving is on the highway?

I drive 70% highway I would say.
Always try to give myself space from other cars.
I'll let the dealer check it out.
Can't hurt to ask, right.

try claying the car as well. It really removes a lot of stuff that you wouldnt believe will come off

Any body shop worth a crap can match your paint. what I did on a previous Audi is to use the dealer 3rd party body shop, who knows Audi paint colors well. Your paint code is on a sticker next to your spare tire I think.
