If the paint has been badly 'etched' then I don't see what SRP would do?
It contains fillers and as far as I know is not abrasive.
Worth a try I guess...first thing though would be to clay the affected area.

Thought he meant too just get the shine back.

Super resin polish is apparently more of a glaze so some kind of cutting compound would be required to resolve it.

Grab a Sonus SFX-2 or maybe SFX-3 or something similar. A bit of cut but not hugely abrasive.

So, T-Cut is a no-no?

The biggest difference is that you get the HDD jukebox function, and the joystick for precise navigation control. At least MMI 2G (high) in the A6 had a 3D view.
I've had both 2G high and 3G+ and 2G with an iPod is almost as functional.

There is indeed a "low" in the C6/4F (I believe it's actually called basic). They are pretty obvious though, given their monochrome red on black display.
I couldn't deal with not having the "birds eye" view. And statically facing north mapping is foul

Has anyone experienced the corrosion warranty with Audi before? How do I potentially go about with a claim?
Car in question is the one in OP, 56 plate. Assume Audi have a 10 year warranty?
The front arch is bubbling, pictures below:
Excuse the spare, alloy currently away being refurbished.

I've noticed exactly the same thing is happening on my '06 A4 too, so will be watching this with interest!

T-Cut colour fast is actually pretty good stuff - very mildly abrasive, so requires quite a bit of effort, but equally hard to do too much and make a bad job of - used it on both a B5 A4 (Metallic Blue), and my current 8P A3 (Brilliant Black) with good results.

So, I'll polish and wax. If the blemish is still there, t-cut, polish, and wax. Stupid birds.
Try this stuff - worked for the same problem on my car

Am I right in thinking that if there's a DVD and CD changer in the glovebox, then the MMI unit is no longer in the boot?
But I thought all MMI 2g were DVD-based and had the unit in the boot, where it got wet when the rear wash-wipe pipe leaked.
Unless there was a change-over period where the car came with MMI 2g, but the dvd-rom in the glovebox?
It doesn't have a little joystick on the controller, but the nav DVD says MMI 3g 2010...
2010 C6 A6.

Mine had the AMI unit and the CD Changer in the glove box, and the MMI unit in the boot. Mine was 100% a 2G unit though and it was also an Avant.
That's a setup I've not seen before, but I was under the impression that all MMI 3G systems had the joystick?

There is more than one type of MMI 3G - could be the basic 3G doesn't have the joystick.
This should narrow it down:

I didn't check for 3D maps, but the resolution on the screen was much better than on an RNS-E.

option code: 7T2 = Navigation system (LOW)

Should've done some more research before posting
Looks like facelift A6s got 3g Low as standard, and 3g High with the HD as a cost-option.

I had Audi fix corrosion on my previous S3 (2001) a few years back. They did the roof rails and bottom of one door but not the other as it was too far gone. I think you may struggle to be honest. They wouldn't replace my front arches as the rust was too far gone although no rust was showing it was just bubbling. I expect that they will say a stone chip caused it...
They will have a paint depth gauge to see if it's previously been spayed and unless you can prove it was done at an Audi approved Body shop they won't touch it at all.
