2016 Audi A3 Paint Correction and coating

This car came to me with 5000 miles on it.  It was a loaner for the dealership and was purchased with 2ooo miles on it.  Despite the low mileage, it had been a mule for the dealer and was not in the best shape. The owner elected to go with a coating to provide easy maintenance and a great shine for years to come.
