Default What do you want to know? It's really pretty simple.

Buy some 2000 & 3000 grit wet sand paper. Soak paper in water for at least an hour. Sand gently, only enough to remove blemish & to blend with surrounding paint. Remove sanding marks with light rubbing compound, followed by swirl-mark remover, followed by mild polish, followed by glaze if you wish, then finally by wax.

Recommend you buy a panel from the junkyard for $20 or so to practice on prior to attacking the Audi.
