2016 Audi A4 — ceramic coating is glossy but paint still got light swirls

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2016 Audi A4 in Boston, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork.

If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2016 Audi A4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
